Abstract Background Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support device for patients with severe heart and/or lung failure. Emergency situations require immediate ECMO response. Primed circuits have become a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in severe cardiorespiratory failure refractory to conventional management, often as a bridge to recovery, long-term support, or transplant. However, some patients might not..
