Abstract

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a direct extension of cardiopulmonary bypass technology used for providing supports to patient with cardiorespiratory failure despite maximum conventional therapy. The blood drained from an outflow cannula gets oxygenated and decarboxylated before it returns through an inflow cannula.
