Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO is an alternative medical technology that increases the chance of saving lives in the critical minute.
ECMO stands for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. You will also hear the term ECLS or Extracorporeal Life Support. ECMO is a special procedure that takes over the work of the heart and/or lungs when they are too sick to properly support the body. ECMO allows the heart and/or lungs time to rest and heal. ECMO does not cure these organs, but allows them time to rest.
As a highly contagious and potent disease, COVID-19 can cause a wide range of symptoms and disease severity, extending from mild to fatal, affecting different organs in the body.
