This journal focuses on the clinical application, management, and outcomes of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in various critical care settings. Articles discuss the use of these technologies in cardiac and respiratory failure, including specific applications like cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), re-transplantation, and post-cardiotomy shock. The scope also encompasses challenges in ECMO implementation, such as transport, training, and the role of perfusionists, as well as novel approaches and complications associated with these life-support modalities.
