Emergency department extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may also include non-cardiac arrest patients.

CONCLUSIONS: In the early phase of ECMO, vital signs improve, and the need for vasopressors and carbon dioxide levels decreases. Thus, Critical Care Units in Emergency Departments with ECMO capabilities could potentially be designed, and emergency department ECMO algorithms could be tailored for critically ill in addition to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.
