Abstract
|
|
|
|
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapeutic apparatus designed for oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal in patients facing profound pulmonary or cardiac dysfunction. While the fundamental principles of ECMO application in critically ill cardiorespiratory patients have endured for over three decades, a continuous progression in various constituent elements has been observed. In particular, the demand for ECMO has surged in diverse clinical scenarios, particularly during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the emerging imperative for wearable ECMO solutions. Ongoing interdisciplinary research and development efforts are indispensable for addressing this evolving landscape. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary advancements in ECMO circuitry and delineate the prospective avenues for developing wearable ECMO, positioning this exploration within the broader context of the escalating demand for advanced life support technologies.
