AB  - Despite  the  advances  in  lung-protective  strategies  and  cardiac  assist  devices,  severe  pulmonary  and  cardiac  failure  continue  to  be  associated  with  high  mortality.  Acute  respiratory  distress  syndrome  (ARDS)  still  maintains  a  mortality  rate  as  high  as  30–40%,  50%  for  patients  with  cardiogenic  shock.1  Patients  with  failing  conventional  or  advanced  methods  of  therapy  or  patients  who  are  worsening  clinically  have  few  rescue  therapy  options.  Early  referral  to  an  extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (ECMO)  center  might  be  the  only  option.  This  chapter  will  review  the  clinical  indications,  contraindications,  types  of  ECMO,  and  the  complications  of  ECMO  use.
