AB  - Extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (ECMO)  is  a  form  of  modified  cardiopulmonary  bypass  that  has  evolved  since  the  beginnings  of  bypass  in  the  1950s.1  It  can  be  used  for  days  to  weeks  to  support  patients  with  severe  cardiac  or  respiratory  failure.  Since  the  first  successful  use  of  ECMO  in  the  1970s,  several  developments  have  been  made  related  to  cannulation  strategies  and  machinery.  However,  several  topics  related  to  ECMO  remain  controversial  and  ill  defined,  including  patient  selection  (“ECMO  candidacy”),  timing  of  ECMO  initiation,  and  proper  anticoagulation.2
