TL;DR: The goal of ECMO is to let the heart and lungs recover while the patient is supported by the ECMO machine, which is a type of life support that uses a machine to pump blood rich in oxygen to support the heart or lungs, or both.
Abstract: ECMO stands for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. It is a type of life support that uses a machine to pump blood rich in oxygen to support the heart or lungs, or both. The ECMO machine acts as an artificial heart and lung for a patient whose own heart or lungs cannot provide enough blood flow or get enough oxygen into the blood. ECMO is used after other methods of supporting the heart and lungs did not work. Once a patient is on ECMO, you may see an improvement because their heart and lungs may \"rest\" while ECMO takes over. The goal of ECMO is to let the heart and lungs recover while the patient is supported by the ECMO machine.
