ECMO patients display a high incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (24.4 cases/1000 ECMO days), with a major role played by Enterobacteriaceae. The infectious risk was shown to increase along the duration of the ECMO run, which is the most important risk factor for the development of infections.
The patient is profoundly hypothermic (<32 °C) due to accidental exposure The patient has taken a significant overdose of a vaso-active drug(s) (e.g. beta-blocker , tricyclic acid , digoxin ) Any other cause where there is likely to be reversibility of the cardiac arrest if an artificial circulation can be provided

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS), is a set of extracorporeal modalities that can provide oxygenation, removal of carbon dioxide, and/or circulatory support, excluding cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiothoracic or vascular surgery.
A MAQUET hollow fiber membrane oxygenator. A membrane oxygenator is a device used to add oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.It can be used in two principal modes: to imitate the function of the lungs in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and to oxygenate blood in longer term life support, termed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
