Abstract:
ECMO is a modified heart-lung bypass system for treatment of moribund neonates. The techniques are described. Our experience with 19 patients reveals a survival rate of 79 percent. In the future, with advances in technology, ECMO may become less invisible and extended to a larger population of newborns.
