The innovations leading to the development of a new technology such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its progress over the years have been inspiring. Many great personalities were associated with the genesis and re-designing the multiple essential components of ECMO to make it more biocompatible. We discussed the brief history of cardiopulmonary bypass and ECMO. We elucidated the establishment of a commanding center, Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) in the USA, ECMO society of India in the sub-continent and the birth of South and West Asia Chapter (SWAC) of ELSO initially, which became South and West Asia, Africa chapter (SWAAC) ELSO later after amalgamation of Africa to this sub-chapter of ELSO.
诸如体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)等新技术发展过程中的创新以及多年来的进步一直令人鼓舞。许多杰出人物参与了ECMO多个关键组件的起源和重新设计,以使其更具生物相容性。我们讨论了体外循环和ECMO的简史。我们阐明了美国体外生命支持组织(ELSO)这一指挥中心的建立、印度在次大陆的ECMO协会以及ELSO南亚和西亚分会(SWAC)最初的诞生,该分会在非洲并入ELSO的这一亚分会后,后来成为了ELSO南亚、西亚和非洲分会(SWAAC)。
