The Heart of a Smith

Membrane lung: The full name is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for blood circulation support, that is, ECMO, which is a new technology to save the lives of dying patients.When the patient's lung function is severely damaged and is ineffective for conventional treatment, ECMO can undertake the task of gas exchange, keep the lungs at rest, and gain valuable time for the patient's recovery.Similarly, when a patient's heart function is severely impaired, the blood pump can replace the heart's pumping function to maintain blood circulation.
