AB  - Extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (ECMO)  is  an  adaptation  of  the  conventional  cardiopulmonary  bypass  system  for  use  as  prolonged  pulmonary  and  cardiopulmonary  support.  ECMO  is  generally  instituted  at  specialized  centers  as  a  last  resort  for  patients  with  respiratory  or  cardiac  failure  unresponsive  to  conventional  therapies.  The  term  ECMO  is  considered  a  broad  ranging  term  for  the  range  of  methods  for  extracorporeal  blood  oxygenation  and  carbon  dioxide  removal.  Other  similar  terms  in  current  use  include  those  listed  in  Table  61-1.  This  is  considered  a  closed  circuit  system,  which  differentiates  it  from  cardiopulmonary  bypass  (CPB)  circuits,  in  that  there  is  no  blood  reservoir  and  no  arterial  filter.
