Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has been established as an advanced therapeutic alternative for respiratory failure, cardiogenic shock, and failure to wean off cardiopulmonary bypass. With a global increase in expertise, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and other ECLS options have been explored in other patients’ indications. This session aims to increase understanding of future possibilities and indications for ECMO and ECLS toward improving individual outcomes.
