  • First Online:
ECMO-Extracorporeal Life Support in Adults

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provides effective circulatory support while waiting for cardiac recovery in patients with potentially reversible heart disease, or for heart transplantation, or for implantation of a ventricular assist device (VAD) in patients with terminal heart disease [1–4].
