Abstract

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), is used in cases of extreme respiratory and/or circulatory insufficiency, resistant to conventional treatment methods. As science moved on and experience was gained, ECMO began to be used also in the treatment of the most serious stages of hypothermia, as well as during the preparation for a planned heart and/or lung transplant. Due to restrictive guidelines and an invasive character of treatment, ECMO is undertaken relatively rarely. However, it often constitutes an element of therapy critical for patient's survival and further treatment possibilities.
