What is ECMO? The basics explained.

We are talking ECMO in this lesson! Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The ultimate form of life support that we are able to offer our patients. When all else fails, we turn to ECMO to buy us more time to try and fix whatever is going wrong with our patient.

In this lesson, I go over the history of ECMO and how we got to where we are today with it. From there I cover the how and why of ECMO. How it is that ECMO is configured and works, comparing VV and VA ECMO. Then I talk about what the indications or for using ECMO for our patients, as well as covering some of the contraindications for its use.

Our use of ECMO today has grown significantly compared to even a few years ago, and the hope of this lesson is to provide a basic understanding of what it is and why we use it.
