ABSTRACT
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a novel mechanical system that provides respiratory and/or hemodynamic support to patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure.These patients generally develop a state of increased metabolic activity accompanied by elevated catabolism of protein and negative nitrogen balance.Moreover,provision of adequate nutritional therapy is hard to achieve due to various factors.Nutrition support for these patients is hence a critical issue.This article provides a brief overview of the current literature regarding nutritional support during ECMO in adult patients,as no current guidelines address this issue.
