Abstract Background Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has become an integral part of modern intensive therapy. The choice of support mode depends largely on the indication. Patients with respiratory failure are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS, also known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO) emerged in the 1970s as a potentially useful life-support therapy for refractory cardiac or respiratory failure in..
