Bartlett, MD Pediatr Crit Care Med Abstract: The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit is with severe cardiac and/or respiratory failure. ECMO involves made of a number of components that have been customized to draining blood from the venous circulation, pumping it provide adequate tissue oxygen delivery in patients with severe through an artificial lung where oxygen is added and carbon cardiac and/or respiratory failure for a prolonged period of time dioxide is removed, and then returning the warmed blood back (days to weeks). A standard extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to either the venous or the arterial circulation. ECMO and the circuit consists of a mechanical blood pump, gas-exchange device, associated management protocols will mechanically support a and a heat exchanger all connected together with circuit tubing. patient and allow for optimization of all aspects of care for the Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits can vary from sim- period of time necessary for recovery of native cardiac and/or ple to complex and may include a variety of blood flow and pressure respiratory function. The ECMO circuit consists of
