Healthy heartbeat

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO )  is a cardiopulmonary support machine. It is quite similar to the heart-lung by-pass machine that is used in open-heart surgery. It is an artificial machine, by which patients’ blood pumps and oxygenates outside the body. It allows the lung and heart to rest. When any patient's heart is not capable to pump blood outside that situation, ECMO connects to the patient that assists in blood flowing through tubing to an artificial lung in the machine. Additionally, this machine adds oxygen and takes out carbon dioxide, later on, the blood warms to body temperature and pumps back into the body. Ty pes of ECMO Do you know? there are two types of ECMO i.e. VA ECMO and W ECMO. VA ECMO connects to both vein and artery. Now the question is what is the use of it. It uses when there is a problem with both the heart and lungs. On the other hand, W ECMO is used only in the lungs. This system connects to one or more veins, usually near the heart. What i...
