ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is a type of artificial life support that can help a person whose lungs and heart aren’t functioning correctly. ECMO continuously pumps blood out of your body and then sends it through devices that add oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. It then pumps the blood back into your body. Click here

Generally no. Patients that undergo ECMO are typically already connected to a ventilator through a breathing tube down their mouth or nose and have received pain medications and sedatives. When they’re first connected to the machine, they are sedated and do not feel the tubes going into their veins and arteries. Click here

How long do people stay on ECMO?

Usually, patients are supported by an ECMO machine for only a few hours to a few days, but it is possible to require support for a few weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and how it progresses over time. Click here to complete the form with your order-related question(s).

What is the main risk of ECMO?

In addition to the healing process of the condition or illness that got the patient on ECMO in the first place, the main concern with ECMO is bleeding. Patients are given a medication to thin the blood so that it doesn’t clot. Click here

Can you tell me more about the machine?

A working ECMO machine has a lot of moving parts to it. There’s the pump, the artificial lung (a circuit made up of a membrane), blood warmer and a filter.
