What is Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)?
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving technique used to provide cardiac and respiratory support to patients whose heart and lungs are unable to function adequately on their own. In the context of toxicology, ECMO can be a critical intervention for patients suffering from severe poisoning or drug overdose that leads to respiratory or cardiac failure.
