AB  - Extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (ECMO)  is  a  resource-intensive  rescue  strategy,  which  is  powered  by  a  centrifugal  pump  and  serves  as  a  mechanical  circulatory  support  (MCS)  device.  The  two  most  common  indications  are  either  life-threatening  pulmonary  or  cardiac  failure  or  some  combination  of  the  two.  ECMO  can  be  used  in  the  field  as  a  temporizing  measure  providing  supportive  care,  if  the  right  team  and  equipment  are  available  for  placement  and  a  safe  transfer  plan  to  an  ECMO-capable  center  is  readily  available.  Importantly,  ECMO  serves  as  a  temporizing  measure  awaiting  either  organ  recovery  or  a  more  permanent  device  or  surgery,  such  as  organ  transplant.  Effective  use  of  ECMO  requires  a  specialized  team  of  providers  to  monitor  both  the  patient  and  the  circuit.  A  team  approach  reduces  ECMO  complication  rates,  which  are  predominantly  renal  failure  and  coagulation  disorders—both  bleeding  and  clotting.
