Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been in clinical use
for some 40 years, but it is only in the past decade that its
application in the treatment of life-threatening circulatory and
respiratory failure has truly flourished. This book presents a
comprehensive overview of both pathophysiological and practical
aspects of circulatory and respiratory extracorporeal support. The
basics of ECMO, including its history, the "ECMO team",
cannulation, materials, and blood-surface interactions, are first
discussed. The various indications for and particular
characteristics of circulatory and respiratory extracorporeal life
support are then described in detail in the main part of the book.
Patient care during ECMO and monitoring of the ECMO patient are
also carefully covered, with explanation of the management of
technical and clinical complications and transport-related
problems. Further topics include long-term therapy options beyond
ECMO, such as ventricular assist devices and transplants, outcome,
the new frontiers of ECMO for organ procurement and future
challenges. The authors are well-known experts in the field whose
authoritative contributions and attention to practical aspects will
be invaluable for novices and experienced practitioners alike.
