AbstractRenewed interest in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support of critically ill patients has led to a large expansion of its use across the world. This article reviews the long history of ECMO and introduces the early pioneers. The idea of team planning and team work is introduced in this article. There is an emphasis on understanding that ECMO care varies across institutions but is slowly growing to more uniform protocols.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
