We are talking ECMO in this lesson! Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The ultimate form of life support that we are able to offer our patients. When all else fails, we turn to ECMO to buy us more time to try and fix whatever is going wrong with our patient.
In this lesson, I go over the history of ECMO and how we got to where we are today with it. From there I cover the how and why of ECMO. How it is that ECMO is configured and works, comparing VV and VA ECMO. Then I talk about what the indications or for using ECMO for our patients, as well as covering some of the contraindications for its use.
Our use of ECMO today has grown significantly compared to even a few years ago, and the hope of this lesson is to provide a basic understanding of what it is and why we use it.

has methylene blue been administered via ECMO for tx of Covid?
ECMO survivor here🙋🏽♀️ I was intubated and on ECMO because of Covid-19 on April 2020. So thankful I'm alive❤
WOW! So glad to hear another wonderful story of survival. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that but so happy to hear that this wonderful therapy was available for you when you needed it!
Really happy for you! You have another chance in life so please don't waste it
"its just a commin flu"
Glad you made it! Wish you the best
What did you experience during the process?
@@Tanman96 I did not experience pain but it is uncomfortable that you can't really move because the tubes where by my bikini area (one on each side). The removal was a little painful. I didn't wake up until 10 days after being intubated so I'm just sharing what I experienced after I woke up. My breathing wasn't good when I woke up but it progressively got better. I'm so thankful to be alive
My 19 year cousin got COVID and was intubated. This machine was her last hope- and it saved her life. I just came here to understand it. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing Jessica! I'm so glad this therapy was available for her. Hoping for a quick recovery for her!
Great news that she survived. My wife is currently on ECMO and its only been 1 day. How long was your cousin on this ECMO Machine?
@@eddierodriguez4490 she actually was just taken off ECMO this week. She has a lung transplant and is doing really really well. She was on the machine for 2 months
@@houseplanttourism2757 I love reading these success stories. Happy to hear she is well. God Bless.
@@eddierodriguez4490 sending good thoughts your way!
6 years ago I’ve had pneumonia and sepsis. Ended up on ECMO with multi organ failure. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be alive
Wow so glad this was available for you and that you recovered from it! Thank you for sharing!
You are blessed. Thank God for your recovery.
Glory to God for preserving your beautiful soul. Happy for you dear.
I hope you fully recover
This is so great, I'm a doctor and I haven't found a better explanation than this! I'm sending to all my co-residents.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and I'm really glad you liked it!
Agree- excellent
Not everyone is as kind as you, ICU Advantage. 👍 I’m one of those who will not share for FREE/CHEAP.
Yes, so true. Finally I got to understand ECMO at least a little bit.
I am fascinated by that technology, but it gives me kind of nightmares 🙈
@@annettesuterswiss I understood it close up a few weeks ago.
This machine just saved my brothers life. My brothers organs were shutting down from the delta virus. There was no chance he could recover the doctors said. He went through two cprs, His kidneys were failing, heart was failing and Lungs. A miracle happened and my brothers lungs started to heal. Thank you ecmo for saving my brother. I owe you my life and my brothers life.
So glad to hear your brother has made a recovery and thanks for sharing his story!
ECMO survivor here 🙋♀️🙋♀️. I infected by corona during my 27 weeks pregnancy and I was in ECMO 1 months… my baby born at 28 weeks 780 gram. We’re thankful we’re alive
My son is an ECMO baby. He is now 29 years old. 🙏🏻. Thank God for this procedure.
So amazing!! So glad this was available for your son!
How long was he on it?
This machine is truely amazing and so grateful that your son is going great!
@@antoinettevazquez1721 72 hours.
You need to thank scientists for this procedure, not to the God.
@@Senath_Weerasinghe I THANK GOD FOR THIS PROCEDURE. Please do not tell me who I need to thank. You have a good day.
I was on ECMO in November/December 2020 after multiple heart failures,a stent, a bypass,a mitral valve replaced, and multiple organ failures. Without it, I wouldn't be here today
I’m a new ECMO nurse. It is an amazing machine, and it’s has saved many lives 🙂
I'm nurse in South Korea. I work at COVID ICU now. Last night me and my co-workers watched your video to understand ECMO. Thank you very much!
So glad to hear this. You are very welcome. Happy to hear the video was helpful for you.
If you're here because someone you know is on it due to COVID-19. I hope and pray that they recover soon.
Praying as well! 😔
Yeah, I’m pretty damn sure these machines are what’s causing the complications.
My friend just got placed on it a couple of hours ago. I’m praying for his speedy recovery.
@@5MrPine I'm praying for your friend
My wife just got placed on this ECMO just yesterday. Praying that this works as it worked for many.
I’m a ECMO survivor it was very scary at first and I didn’t think I was gonna survive thought it was a medical failure but I’m home now and healthy and I am extremely grateful for this procedure
Wow, thank you so much for sharing Adil! So glad this was available for you and always great to hear the stories of survivors. Wishing you all the best!

It seems like all this experimental medicine shouldn't be used until it is better understood
Going on a ventilator is damaging to your body.
@@jhaeronrhymebustamante373 yes mahal po. Estimate cost of Php 500-600k per day
I was on VA Ecmo for a month awaiting a heart transplant due to acute heart failure. Can't believe I'm still here today. Truly amazing
What are some advice to ease the anxiety while on ECMO?
Glad You made it!
@@mol-charles3616 Look up resources regarding management of ICU psychosis.
I watched as I am a former ICU nurse, now retired, and I wanted to understand this new technology. Wonderful video and you are a superb teacher. Thank you.
My son was on ECMO 35 years ago, it was still experimental at that time. So thankful for it!
Wow, so glad it was available for him then! Thanks for sharing that!
My sister spent a few weeks on ECMO and survived. She was an adult that had lung damage from a fire. She entered the hospital June 17th, 2017, placed on ECMO on June 21st, 2017, and removed from ECMO on July 5th 2017.
Amazing! Always great to hear success stories of this amazing therapy! Inhalation injury is a great indication for ECMO when needed. Glad this was available for her. Thank you for sharing.
My baby girl had to be placed on ECMO just a few hours after being born, this saved her life.
Amazing to hear this! Sorry you and her had to go through this but so glad this was available to make a difference!
My son is in the same position today. I’m so glad your daughter is doing great. How long was she on it?
@@viewingeye3233 she was on Ecmo for 7days, We had to take her off, Because she was haemorrhaging from her brain. Since the ecmo machine uses blood thinners, Thank God she was able to get the rest and recover Enough to hold her own. Please be encouraged, And keep the faith, Sending love, and positive vibes your way.
@@samanthawilliams5281 thank you. We are holding strong.

ECMO survivor checking in 🙋
I was hit with an acute asthma attack at the end of October and was admitted to my local hospital. While they could get my O2 levels up, my lungs weren't expelling CO2 and I was in really bad shape. I was put into a coma and the ECMO team at Wythenshaw in Manchester were called and got me on their machine before they transferred me to their facility thirty miles away.
The medical and nursing staff at all stages have been incredible, and this fabulous technology has given me a second chance at life 🙏
I had ecmo treatment.recovered after 1 month in hospital. 2 weeks in coma ,week in icu and a week in general ward .lucky I survived .
Wow! Thank you for sharing and happy to hear this amazing therapy was available for you!
This machine saved my dads life. This machine genuinely works miracles.
So glad this was available for him!
Thank you. This gives me a lot of hope for my dad. Please send prayers for him.
Thank you for this break down. I am a neuro ICU RN and because of COVID my facility is experiencing a high volume of VV ECMO pts and we don't have enough open heart RN'S to care for all the devices. So I have been asked to take a class for VV ECMO. This video was a helpful introduction to the concept of ECMO before I actually take the class. It has decreased my anxiety. I will be sharing this video with my fellow neuro nurses who as also taking the class. Thank you!
Oh wow Jessica! So glad this video helped in some way to get you ready for the class and thank you for sharing with others. I hope the class goes (or went 🤷🏻♂️) well and you'll have to update me!
+1 for neuro ICU
Ask why hospitals are using the death protocol?
Boot family out, give remdesivir, blast oxygen, bipap, precedex, vent, dnr.
All other meds refused because they can be harmful?
Even the WHO is against redesivir, why is it on the protocol?
This thing saved my mom's life thank you so much ❤️
So happy to hear this was available for her! Thank you for sharing.
Can you share your moms age and her condition with covid? My mom was just put on this machine a few hours ago and I am looking for hope 🙏🏻
Thank you for the great explanation! My daughter was placed on VV ECMO as a newborn and this machine saved her life. She's a happy and healthy 3.5yo now :)
Wow! So amazing to hear such a great story. So happy this was available for your daughter and that she is doing so great today!
I am happy for your daughter. Can you please tell me what was the underlying condition your daughter had? And how long did the doctors wait before performing VV ECMO on her?
Hi Eddie! The weirdest thing happened - I watched your ECMO videos this afternoon, and several hours later, I happened to care for a patient who fit the v-v ECMO indications to a T! She's on her way to the ECMO center as we speak!
Thanks for giving me the knowledge to be confident in my assessment that "she needs ECMO".
Thats so cool! Well, not that she needed ECMO, but hopefully it'll help her, but more so that you recognized the potential need. One of the best things we can do for our patients is to advocate for them!
Ecmo saved my daughter's life. She was put on it when she was less than 8 hours old. She is now almost 20 and this machine saved her.
Wow! This is so amazing to hear. Thank you for sharing and so glad this was available for your daughter!
One year ago today, my husband (age 63)was on ECMO for severe Cardiogenic shock-post MI, He had right vent. failure - which led to some Left vent. failure - had a right pump which failed - then a left pump failure - with stent placement X 3 with no improvement. Cardiac arrest X 3 - Surgery 4 times within 24 hour time frame - was placed on ECMO in Huntington, WV - transported via helicopter to Ruby Memorial WVU Hospital in Morgantown, WV. Excellent group of ECMO technicians and medical staff - placed on VA ECMO - then to RVAD - and the rest is golden. Spent 1 month in hospital, then to in patient rehab, and finally cardiac rehab. No previous cardiac problems and is still alive and doing very, very well. Keep on teaching the wonders of this life-saving technology. It has taken me this long to really research what he survived. Thanks so much for the overview. TDL
Wow thank you for sharing Tina! Sounds like a heck of a journey you guys have been on, but I'm so glad to hear things have worked out and that ECMO was available to save your husband!
ECMO survivor here ! Central cannulation via median sternotomy God is good .
I was intubated and on ECMO because of Covid-19 on November 2019. So thankful I'm alive
Wow, so glad to hear you made it out of that and thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.
ECMO survivor here August, 2021. Saved my life!
Awesome! So glad this was available to you and thanks for sharing!
A friend of mine passed from Covid waiting for this machine but I’m happy that it helped a lot of people. 🙏🏼 ❤
I was on ECMO for a week after going into cardiogenic shock after years of heart failure. Afterward I had an impella and then the lvad. Hospitalized for two months and inpatient rehab for 2 1/2 weeks. I still have some nerve damage and neuropathy but otherwise doing well and working towards a heart transplant after 2 years of therapies. Very good description!
WOW! Thank you for sharing and so glad to hear this was available for you when you needed it. Wishing you all the best on your recovery and hoping for a new heart for you soon! Take care.
That’s wonderful. I had the same. I was fit and healthy and a virus ruined my heart. I was on ecmo for a week in ICU until I GOT AN LVad. I spent a month in ICU and then went to a ward and waited three and a half months until I was fantastically lucky to get a transplant. I’m so grateful to all the doctors nurses and staff for saving my life. I’m now three years post transplant and baring complications, I am getting by fine.. I’m so glad you are doing good too.
a week and then
Good luck man!
@@bigaaron Thanks and good luck to everyone else in the same boat. I hope it turns out good for you too.
@@MrGroganmeister Hope You are doing well still ❤️
I went into cardiac arrest 3 times last year and was put on ECMO twice. It fried a nerve in my left quad and 4 of my toes are in the process of self-amputating because of it, but it saved my life.
Glad to hear you made it through! Unfortunately sometimes there are long term effects, but it does save lives!
You can't imagine how much you make my life easy
Love you man ✌🏿
My daughter was placed on VV ECMO using a dual cannula when she was 24 hours old due to pulmonary hypertension from Maconium aspiration. Her lungs recovered and she was off the machine in 5 days. She is doing well and expected to be discharged from hospital in a week. You have beautifully explained the procedure. It makes a big difference for parents like us. Thank you !
I was on ECMO for hundred and eleven days in royal Brompton hospital London. All praise is to almighty that I am still alive
Oh wow! We don't often see ECMO runs that long. Glad to hear you came out on top! Enjoy life, as you clearly understand how precious it is.
Dietitian here. Love all the comments about people who went on ECMO and pulled through. I do nutrition support for ECMO
I'm 7 months post heart and kidney transplant and ended up going on echmo during surgery.It saved my life but give me nerve damage on my left thigh.Felt like my leg was lit on fire.Grateful to be alive.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing. Sorry to hear you went through all this but really glad this was available for you!
My husband went on ecmo last night. Covid. Please pray for him
My thoughts are with you, your husband and the team caring for him. 😢
My son was born with pulmonary hypertension. He was placed on ECMO when he was three days old. He is now a healthy teenager!
Awesome! So glad this was available for him. Thanks for sharing your story!
In really enjoyed seeing how ECMO has progressed over the past 30 years. I was a cardio-pulmonary tech @ WHMC from 1973-1990. Drs. Robert DeLemos and Don Null were some of the early neonatal pioneers in using ECMO. The typical patient was a premature newborn, usually weighing less than 2000 grams and delivered because they were in fetal distress. When that happened, the baby would release it's meconium plug (essentially inutero stool.) It often had the consistency of tar. The baby would inhale this while still in mom's tummy and require ECMO. Wilford Hall's ECMO device looked somewhat like a Rube Goldberg device, but it worked fantastically well. When I retired in 1990, WHMC had the only ECMO that a neonatal patient could be placed on and flown across the country. The reason- at that time the standard aero-vac plane was some version of a Lear Jet. Not a lot of room inside for all the personnel needed. Thankfully, Uncle Sam had a large fleet of C9 air evac aircraft that could carry ECMO device, patient, 3 RN's and 2 technicians and a respiratory therapist.
How cool! Wow, thank you for sharing. Its always amazing to see how things progress over time and to hear about how things were before. Now-a-days, it has become such a small "manageable" device. Moving around with it is so much easier than even the setup we used just before the new Cardihelp pump, which is quite small and very portable. Add to that the increased availability and usage across many populations and it has become such an incredible tool to save so many people. I'm always in awe of the technology and it will be interesting to see how it advances in the future!
Our professor at an Iraqi university from Karbala at Al-Zahra University told us today about the ECMO device and said that he had not seen this device due to its high cost, even in his dreams, and in reality it is a device that is widely spread on social media sites.
I am starting in a CVICU in two weeks and loved getting a brief rundown before I start ECMO training. Thank you!
Awesome and congrats on the new position! Hope you enjoyed the video!
My loved one is currently on ECMO. Our family has been on pins and needles because we are not familiar with this process and our loved one is a 2 mos old baby. Thank you for this informative video. My anxiety about ECMO has been calmed down.
You and this little one will be in my thoughts. They have a lot of great success with its use in the young ones. Stay strong.
I'm a doctor and I haven't found a better explanation than this! I'm sending to all my co-residents.
Right on! Thank so much for helping spread the word!
I’m not a medical professional but I have a body with both respiratory and cardiac glitches. It’s very good to have this explained so thoroughly.
Glad you liked it!
Clear and concise explanations. Love the visual organization, use of color. Perfect pace. You are a great instructor!!
I was in the ecmo machine when I was born and they gave me only 9 years of life and I’m currently 25
Thank you so much. I am new to ICU and have never used ECMO. This makes a lot of sense.
These lessons are amazing!!! I just started as an ED tech and I don’t often get taught the in debt explanation, these videos help me understand things I’ve seen and how they function!!!
This was so helpful to really outline the components of ECMO, the reasons for ECMO, as well as the contraindications for ECMO.
I’m so glad that I ran across your video!
I'm so glad you found your way over too and happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
I have no idea how I got here, I'm not in medicine but it's still a fascinating piece of tech. It's a hell of a difference from the iron lungs.
Hahaha, the RUclips rabbit hole can take you to some interesting places sometimes lol.
But yes, it is pretty amazing!
Ecmo survivor👍 💐THANK YOU 💐💐
Thank you so much for sharing!
My 4 year old grandson was put on ECOM, thank God for that machine. .Marky is now 10 and doing wonderful!
Wow, hate to hear that you had to go through that but so glad to hear of another amazing success story! Thank you for sharing!
My friend has a lung ECMO and a heart ECMO. I am super thankful for them! Also, on the vent.
This was the most informative yet. I'm currently taking anatomy & physiology for nursing school. We are on chapter 22 about the lungs. This video really helped put everything together as far as the importance of knowing about the heart and the lungs anatomy and physiology components . Just hearing you talk about the valves etc gave me confidence to one day explain the flow of the heart to a patient and why they may need ECMO when I become a nurse. Thank you. 😌
My mom is a nurse practitioner and she does ECMO in the Nicu
I am a dialysis nurse it was easy for me to understand this
This is an excellent explanation everyone can understand. Thank you!
So glad to hear this Melissa! I really tried to break it down and make it understandable, so happy to hear I may have done a good job! 😊
Your channel is amazing! I start my flight nurse position Monday and this really helps me fill in the gaps on a lot of things. My ICU didn't do things like ecmo, impellas, lvads, etc but now I will definitely be transporting those patients so this is super helpful! Thank you for putting this great content out there!
Thank you so much!! And thats so awesome to hear Kelsey! I've got a few friends who do it and they love it. I would be lying if I didn't think about it from time to time 😊 So glad to hear you liked the video and that it gave you some good info for your new amazing job!
Thank you for being clear and concise on ECMO...I had the jist of what it does but you made it more informative.
Awesome! Glad I was able to cover it with enough explanation, while keeping it understandable 😊
I heard about ECMO for covid cases and figured I'd learn what it is. Still way above my pay grade but I got the basics! Thanks!
Sir quite honestly your explanation was so good, that I will have it bookmarked and share it to colleagues everywhere! Truly awesome!
This is awesome Andres. Thank you for the kind words and for sharing it around!
This is the first video I've watched from ICU Advantage. So well done. Thank you for the time and effort you put into it. The clarity of teaching (down to the color-coding, organization and sectioning of the video) was refreshing.
Thank you so much Katie. I really appreciate the kind words. I'm just happy knowing that so many people find these videos helpful. Glad to do what part I can. :)
Super interesting! Thanks so much. I’m a midwife & I do pre-ops for our high risk ladies for Caesarean sections. This includes sorting out appropriate blood products being at the ready & cell salvage. I know cell salvage isn’t the same as ECMO at all but fab to see how different forms of auto transfusion works 😋
New ECMO RN here! Trying to gain as much knowledge as possible in order to take care of these very sick patients. Loved your explanation. I will check out all of your other videos.
Congrats Jenn! How exciting. I remember it like it was yesterday myself. It can be a bit nerve-racking at first, just like when we were new in the ICU, but they are incredibly interesting patients to take care of. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video and hope the others are helpful for you too!
Thank you Eddie for doing this! I have been waiting for this video since I started watching your channel about a year ago ❤️
Awesome! Hope it was worth the wait Bianca! 😉
I love it!!! I'm a CVOR Surgical Tech and this has truly helped me understand ECMO even more and to helps me to explain more about it to orientees when they come through!!!
Awesome! Glad you liked the video Joshua!
This is one of the best channel . Helped me a lot so far in learning concepts. Aways looking forward for your videos.
Wow, thank you so much! You are far too kind, but really glad you enjoy the videos!
Loved the video. I was placed on ecmo. I was awake when the canulas where placed. I seriously didn’t think I was going to make it. Then when I was woken after I’d never felt so thankful to be alive. This machine and the drs who use it are definitely miracles to people fighting for there lives
Wow, so glad this was available for you and thanks for sharing your story!
Really enjoyed your video. You have clearly deconstructed all the essentials. Thanks. It has saved lots of time reading about basics of ecmo
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. I'm new to the CVICU and I'm soon about to do my ECMO training so this has been very helpful. This and all of your videos. Thank you!
Awesome! Congrats! Glad you liked it and best of luck on the awesome journey of ECMO.
My husband needs to have this after his heart and liver transplant and I wanted to learn more about what it does so thank you for this video.

This is a very elaborate video. I am a doctor and a post graduate student of Thoracic surgery. This is the best demonstration so far on Ecmo which I have seen.
Wow, thank you so much Ali! I'm honored that you think such for this video. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and glad you enjoyed it video!
Wow really great video, I have heard of this but never looked it up until I saw this video. Great stuff.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for this post. I am a WOC nurse, but I have taken care of post ECMO patients. I came here to understand. Thank you for offering this information. I pray you have continued success.
Thank you so much Dawn and glad you enjoyed the video! Best of luck to you!
I'm a 2019 survivor..I had ARDS I was at Emory in Atlanta.
Wow, amazing! So glad to hear this was available for you when you needed it. Always great to hear from survivors! Thank you so much for sharing.
My friend was on ECMO for 31 days. She died. She had a congenital heart defect. Her mitral valve was damaged. She had 3 previous procedures. The went to have a 4 procedure to install a mechanical valve. Due to scar tissue they were unable to put it in so they inserted a pig valve. After her procedure she had a heart attack. They did a single CBG. She arrested but they got her back and they put her on ECMO.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend 😢
going to be training our RTs to sit pump at bedside and this video is an AWESOME intro to ECMO! thanks so much!
Very cool! Where I was, it was RN run except in the NICU then RT or RN, but I never worked around there. I do know many places have RTs. Happy to know you found the video helpful!
You are a NATIONAL TREASURE for making these videos, seriously! I am writing a term paper (nursing school, yay!) on AV ECMO for my critical care class and you did an AMAZING job breaking this down and giving me ideas on what to write about. Thank you so so much!
Appreciate the kind words and glad the video was able to help some with your project. Wishing you the best.
