Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) describes several advancing technologies of broadening scope that support severe cardiorespiratory dysfunction in critically ill patients. ECLS provides alternatives when mechanical ventilation does not suffice to deliver adequate oxygenation or carbon dioxide clearance. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) supports gas exchange in venous blood returning to the right heart. ECLS can also be configured to provide mechanical support of the failing circulation; veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) augments systemic blood flow utilising the extracorporeal blood pump. As patients can be critically dependent on these supports, a thorough understanding of the systems and their interaction with the body is essential in applying ECLS and in preventing or ameliorating problems that can arise.
