		Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation is the use of an artificial lung (membrane) located outside the body (extracorporeal), that puts oxygen into the blood and then carries this blood to the body tissues (oxygenation).
		Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may be initiated in the operating room immediately after an operation, or in the intensive care unit (ICU).
		With extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, survival in these situations is reported to improve to between 20 percent to 60 percent depending on the specific circumstances.

	Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In intensive care medicine, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique of providing both cardiac and respiratory supportoxygen to patients whose heart and lungs are so severely diseased that they can no longer serve their function.
		The ECMO machine continuously pumps blood from the patient through a "membrane oxygenator" that imitates the gas exchange process of the lungs, i.e.
		VV ECMO can provide sufficient oxygenation for several weeks, allowing diseased lungs to heal while the potential additional injury of aggressive mechanical ventilation is avoided.

	Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
		Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to temporarily replace functioning of the heart and lungs for pulmonary support during pulmonary dysfunctioning.
		Extracorporeal life support is done by draining venous blood, removing carbon dioxide, and adding oxygen through an artificial lung, and returning the blood to the circulation via a vein for pulmonary support.
		Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for treatment of a select population of neonates who are in a dying condition with intractable respiratory failure is considered medically necessary if the medical appropriateness criteria are met.

		Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or (ECMO) is a general acronym describing the long term use of an artificial blood oxygenator in an extracorporeal circuit to support or replace a newborn’s undeveloped or failing lungs, or a pediatric or adult patient’s damaged, infected, or failing lungs to allow treatment and healing.
		Membrane oxygenators are routinely employed in cardiopulmonary bypass circuits also.
		Membrane oxygenators are employed in extracorporeal circuits with blood pumps designed to provide emergency cardio respiratory assist after heart failure/attack, drowning, or exposure to cold weather.

		Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of partial cardiopulmonary bypass used for long-term support of respiratory and/or cardiac function.

		During membrane oxygenation, there was a significant decrease in fractional shortening (p less than 0.001), with no difference before and after membrane oxygenation.
		Left-to-right shunting during bypass, as seen in the patients with patency of the arterial duct, increases the loading conditions on the left ventricle, and produces a significant increase in left ventricular diastolic dimensions.
		Therefore, during membrane oxygenation the volume loading produced by the ductal shunt is unable to prevent a decrease in left ventricular fractional shortening.

		Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a well-established cardiopulmonary support technique, used most frequently intraoperatively (short-term) and in the neonatal intensive care unit setting (for up to two weeks).
		These changes are due to blood protein deposition on the membrane, sticking or waterlogged areas, and so on.
		A quality-monitoring method is presented here which uses inlet and outlet oxygen tension measurements to compute continuously a figure of merit corresponding to membrane diffusivity, even when the device is being operated in a condition of outlet oxyhemoglobin saturation.

		FDA approval was based on the results of several large, randomized, controlled trials that demonstrated that the use of inhaled nitric oxide in newborns with hypoxemic respiratory failure improves oxygenation and reduces the need for ECMO (heart-lung bypass).
		The etiologies of neonatal hypoxic respiratory failure that have been shown to respond to iNO include primary pulmonary hypertension, severe hyaline membrane disease, meconium aspiration, pneumonia, sepsis, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
		Nitric oxide is considered a safe and effective alternative to ECMO in many circumstances, primarily because iNO is delivered non-invasively and easily through the ventilator circuit.
