Abstract

Due to the permanently increasing number of patients treated with mechanical circulatory systems, particularly ECMO as a standard short-term heart and lung support, medical, academic, and scientific awareness of this field has rapidly increased over the last decade. As this therapy management unequivocally depends on high-end technology, huge progress in manufactural industry of this sector has been noted in recent years. Moreover, this trend toward optimizing safety and reliability of ECMO systems and adjunct disposables seems to be as important as further experimental and clinical research in the field of heart failure treatment. This chapter will provide new insides and future perspectives for these both fundamental prerequisites of further improving standards of care with ECMO support with the view to saving more lives of our patients.
