What is ECMO?
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a life support system used for patients with severe heart and/or lung failure. It works by circulating blood outside of the body through an artificial lung, which adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood is then returned to the patient's body. ECMO is commonly used as a temporary measure to support patients while their heart or lungs recover, or as a bridge to transplant.
What other technologies are related to ECMO?
ECMO Competitor Technologies
LVAD
LVADs are implantable mechanical pumps that support heart function. While ECMO is a temporary support, LVADs are used for longer-term support in patients with heart failure, serving as an alternative to heart transplantation. Thus, these may be a competitor.
Impella
Impella is a percutaneous ventricular assist device that directly assists the heart's pumping function. It can be used in cardiogenic shock and high-risk PCI, presenting an alternative to ECMO in certain situations.
IABP
IABP is a mechanical circulatory support device. While less powerful than ECMO or Impella, it provides hemodynamic support, and may be an alternative for less severe cases.
RVAD
No summary available
RVADs are ventricular assist devices that support the right side of the heart. RVAD's provide similar function as ECMO, but are used for long term support.
Intra-aortic balloon pump
An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical circulatory support device. While less powerful than ECMO or Impella, it provides hemodynamic support, and may be an alternative for less severe cases.
