AB  - Extracorporeal  life  support  (ECLS)  has  been  used  as  a  rescue  therapy  for  patients  presenting  with  acute  cardiopulmonary  failure.  The  use  of  ambulatory  extracorporeal  support  parallels  the  growth  and  development  of  cardiopulmonary  bypass  during  open  heart  surgery  over  the  past  40  years.  The  first  successful  use  of  a  cardiopulmonary  bypass  circuit  occurred  in  the  early  1950s.1  It  was  not  until  1971  that  an  extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenator  was  used  for  an  extended  period  to  support  a  patient  with  “shock-lung  syndrome.”2  Portable  extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (ECMO)  was  used  in  the  late  1970s  to  rescue  39  patients  with  a  variety  of  conditions  (e.g.,  cardiac  trauma,  cardiogenic  shock  after  myocardial  infarction,  drug  overdose,  and  massive  pulmonary  embolus).3  Portable  cardiopulmonary  support  was  largely  abandoned  due  to  poor  outcomes  after  early  reports.
