Overview

abstract

  • The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as it is also known, has rapidly expanded over the past decade. The increase in ECMO use is a consequence of multiple factors including significant advancements in extracorporeal technology, the emergence of data supporting its use, and a growing number of potential clinical applications. This review focuses on the various modes of ECLS as well as the clinical indications and available evidence for the use of extracorporeal support.
