Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a means of cardiopulmonary support for refractory respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO is a resource-intensive therapy that can be considered in highly selected patients. Expert centers should employ an evidence-based ARDS treatment algorithm and a multidisciplinary approach to recommending ECMO upon failure of conventional therapy. Caring for ECMO patients requires adequate infection control and safety precautions for healthcare workers.
体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)是一种用于治疗难治性呼吸和心力衰竭的心肺支持手段。ECMO是一种资源密集型治疗方法,仅适用于经过严格筛选的患者。专家中心应采用基于证据的急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)治疗算法,并采用多学科方法,在传统治疗失败后推荐使用ECMO。护理ECMO患者需要对医护人员采取充分的感染控制和安全预防措施。
