The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in assisting and replacing cardiac function / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

As one of the cyclical substitution technologies, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has rapidly developed in recent years. This technology can provide effective circulation function support and win valuable time for heart restoration or heart transplantation. It is an effective measure to treat refractory heart failure. In recent years,ECMO has been widely used in the pediatric critical illness area to save the lives of a large number of critically ill children. In order to enable pediatric intensive care physicians to further understand the role of ECMO in assisting and replacing cardiac function,the paper will provide a brief introduction to this aspect.
