Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be considered in cases of severe hypoxemia usually related to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of many etiologies. ECMO replaces pulmonary function, allows ultra-protective mechanical ventilation settings, and may facilitate lung healing. Extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) is an emerging respiratory support strategy that is being studied in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in an effort to avoid intubation and mechanical ventilation. This chapter reviews how extracorporeal pulmonary support is provided, clinical trial data and outcome prediction.
