ResumoINTEREST IN extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for treating severe respiratory failure in adults has increased substantially in the last 5 years. There are several reasons for this increase. The first reason is the publication of the CESAR study in 2009, which showed improved survival in adults with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) randomized to consideration of ECMO compared with patients treated conventionally.1 Second is the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009 and 2010, which resulted in a substantial increase in the use of ECMO for treating severe respiratory failure.
