Enthusiasm for the use of ECMO has increased in recent years. What was once considered a salvage therapy in cases of life-threatening cardiopulmonary decompensation now plays an increasingly important role in the safe conduct of complex thoracic surgery procedures, provides much needed time for organ recovery, and offers acute resuscitation options. This shift broadens our ability to deliver life-saving care to patients that previously would have otherwise had limited treatment options.
