The field of extracorporeal life support or membrane oxygenation (ECLS/ECMO) has seen significant advancements in recent years. This life-saving procedure is used when the lungs are unable to function properly and takes over their role to support the body. ECLS serves as a primary rescue strategy when conventional treatments fail to reverse cardiac or respiratory dysfunction. Additionally, it has been utilized as a bridge during organ transplantation, emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and for chronic assistance devices like left ventricular assist devices.

“Extracorporeal Life Support and Membrane Oxygenation: Current Status and Future Development” by Feilong Hei, Yulong Guan, and Kun Yu provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of ECLS/ECMO. The book covers various aspects of the technique, its current status of implication, and future developments in the field.

In the initial part of the book, the authors define the physiology and mechanism of ECLS, establishing a strong foundation for understanding the procedure. They delve into the types and primary characteristics of ECLS, including instrument materials and monitoring methods. The book also discusses methods of cannulation, patient characteristics, and key management points during pediatric ECLS.

ECLS is also recognized as a novel CPR procedure, and the book explores transportation of ECLS and treatment of various complications with preventive strategies. The authors highlight recent hot topics and provide insights into training perspectives in the field of ECLS.

Published by Springer, the first edition of “Extracorporeal Life Support and Membrane Oxygenation” is scheduled to be released on April 27, 2023. The book is written in English and comprises 194 pages. Its ISBN-10 is 9811992746, and the ISBN-13 is 978-9811992742.
