Abstract

Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiopulmonary support has been rapidly expanding over the last 10 years in the adult population, particularly in lung transplantation. Increased demand for organs has caused longer wait list times leading to increased mortality, prompting the use of ECMO prior to, during, and post lung transplantation. Technological advances in circuit components, improved cannulation techniques, and the development of dual lumen cannulas have improved outcomes of ECMO patients in the setting of lung transplantation.
