Summary

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used for extracorporeal support of heart and/or lung function by means of a mechanical device. ECMO belongs to a complex of highly specialized care provided to patients with circulatory and/or ventilatory failures after all conventional therapeutic methods had failed.

We present an overview of ECMO and demonstrate its usefulness in newborns and children treated with this invasive rescue method at our center.

Key words:
ECMO, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, mechanical ventilation
