Abstract:
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) provides support for the neonate,infants and children with acute severe reversible respiratory failure by substituting for the most or part of the lung function and providing enough time for disease resolution.Mounting evidence shows V-V ECMO is effective therapy for acute severe respiratory failure.
