(ECMO is for oxigination which probably would be overkill in this situation)
- rscho 7y agoNo, ECMO is a big machine. And is extremely invasive.
- 420codebro 7y agoECMO is an order of magnitude more complex than a temporary artificial heart. ECMO is typically used where multiple organs are not performing - and if that is happening long term you aren’t gonna live.
