- What is ECMO? Health Ed Solutions lead instructor Mark Dzwonkiewicz explains what extracorporeal membrane oxygenation really is and how it works. ECMO is a life saving therapy that provides oxygen to one’s blood and circulates it throughout the body like one's heart would do. This process occurs outside the body and is also referred to as ECLS, or extracorporeal life support.
ECMO is similar to a heart-lung machine that is used during heart surgery. However, ECMO can be used for prolonged periods of time. ECMO takes over the work of the heart and lungs temporarily, so they can take the time to heal and rest.
Health care providers resort to using ECMO when typical treatments are not successful. ECMO will not cure lung or heart disease - it only provides the heart and lungs extra time to rest and hopefully this will allow them to heal.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more lessons!

sir why does in VA ECMO blood is pushed in artery why not vein ?
@@sumanshori1791 As per information in the actual video, oxygenated blood pushed to Artery under pressure, which provides some hemodynamic support.

I was on ecmo 6 months ago and was given a 5 percent chance or surving...and I did survive ... I'm young also
Good
My daughter is 16 she is covid and she is on.ecmo
Who long u b on ecmo?
@@Londonwalifamily how is your daughter doing? My gf is going on ECMO tomorrow 🙏
Congratulations
My mom was on this. She didn't survive, but it gave her a chance to see her sisters before she died. Pretty good in my opinion. Thanks to the CCU nurses I learned a lot before becoming a nurse myself(in the ER.)
My boyfriend was on ECMO in England. He had pneumonia & had a lobectomy on his right lung as it was full of puss he was the 1st person in the UK to survive such surgery at the time at his age. He was 42. He died 3 times like 7 mins, 11mins & 22mins. He got a hypoxic brain injury & suffers extreme anxiety & he gets chest pains & he has lots of problems but youd not nice unless you lived with him or were family. We've known eachother since I was 15 & I'm 43 now & we've been together 5 years this year! I thank God for ECMO & the Doctor who searched the country on Xmas eve for the ECMO machine & team!! The love of my life & my kids new Dad is with us & I can't be more happy!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
You sound like a keeper 👍
Thank you Mark!! I'm a cardiac sonographer and our hospital has recently started using ECMO but no one has given us an explanation as simple and detailed as yours. This is so helpful!!

Hes at the winterheaven hospital in florida. Can you help
I had an aortic dissection a year ago and was on ECMO for a couple of weeks until I could be weaned off of that and other life support machines. Heard the term but didn't understand it till now. Thanks!
I am a.... pilot. I just stop by for extra knowledge in this pandemic, and i am grateful to the very well explained, full of motivation video. Thank you Doctor, and Doctors❤💪
Great, simple explanation but very thorough. Thank you!
Thank you DeJulius for sharing your feedback! We are glad you found the ECMO lesson helpful!
Thanks 👍, I've been working out what happened to me in ICU, and what machines helped keep me going as well as All the Hard work staff put into me.
I ve never listened to such a great explanation.Thanku! Love from Sri Lanka
So glad it was helpful!
Thank You for your effort and time . Very clearly explained.
Very well explained, thank you!

Thanks for nice explanation.
Very Straight and simple words.thank you .👌
Beautiful explained and properly understood. Love from India❤️
Mark (good name 😉) Dzwonkiewicz is a natural teacher. Picked the perfect person for this presentation. Thank you for your solid, understandable explanation, sir!
Mark explained ECMO the best! I now understands fully
VA ecmo is something you don't want to see. There are two types- the native Bypass type (where we are taking a central line and continuing cardiac bypass post-surgery) and also the emergent type placed during a code blue or a shitshow at the bedisd.
Great explanation! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Mark got me through ALCS while in P program . Now I am considering nursing Bruuuh never though I’d be so happy to see you again lol 🎉
Very well explained , sir 🙏🏼
Namaste from India ❤️
good explanation
This guy is awesome!
Super explanation Sir
Great
God bless you
Great video, short and straight to the point. Ecmos are very common now. Atleast at my hospital. We're putting someone on Ecmo just about every other code we get it seems like.
Thank you.
Brilliant
Thanks for this. In my EMT class learning CPR, I blurted out “we don’t even need the heart and lungs. These are just damaged middle men who are keeping me from doing what I need to do. Which is oxygenate the blood.” The class laughed said ok make a machine that does that then.
Thanks ECMO type VA. :-) one day (maybe 100 years from now) I’m betting CPR will be replaced with ECMO.
Thanks Doc
My 65 year old brother who has COPD, was placed on this machine this evening. He is in ICU. I hope this experience he's going through now will scare him into stop smoking. He would be so much better with his COPD if he would. This morning he gave us a huge scare when he came out of his bedroom and collapsed on the kitchen floor unable to talk and gasping for air. Ambulance came quick and they put him on oxygen after giving him a breathing treatment. His O2 was 96% but he still had a very hard time breathing. I am praying to God that this will be the straw that makes him quit smoking. COPD is fatal, there is no cure for it. But a person can pass away from it without suffering providing they stop smoking.
Thx so helpful
Even the non medical personnel can fully understand your explanation. Thanks
Wow you really learn a lot watching these videos. I didn’t know the first Moto VV or next movie night and I’m not even a student of doctor or medicine I’m just a 43 year old dude that loves to learn things new things every day
Appreciated 😁👍
thank u so much
My dad lived 90 days awaiting for a heart. He got one. Amazing technology.
VA ECMO
That's the BLS/ACLS Guy! I've wondered where he was! Lol always great at providing info
Thank Mark fr vietnam
Amazing when the world works like this.

Very informative thank you!!!!😊
Was on Ecmo a few months ago and Completed an LVAD surgery. The results after my ecmo removed was i lost the ability to walk due to a Haematoma in my hip, although it is not a permanent disability, i would like to know if anyone faced a similar case and wanted to ask how their recovery process was like. Thank you :)
Nice presentation edhepolulla videos eniyum pradheekshikunnu
I was on ecmo
Thanks to ECMO that I am alive today 😊
Thanks you , i Wonder from which venous to venous.
Thanks for watching Thales. Can you please clarify your question for us?
My father is in ecmo now, they take out one lung and is with one left, in begginng was good but some days after he got infection in the lung, now he is on ecmo treatment while trying to controll the infection. Can someone help how is this procedure, i appriciate, god be with you 🤲
My husband is on ecmo and I am just amazed at the level of care he is getting! They find complications so quickly and they have been able to correct them! I’m a firm believer in miracles because I am one myself, so I pray not only for my husband but for everyone who is taking care of him. I trust that God is working on my husband through the doctors and nurses and I know He works on His own. I’m seeing small improvements in my husband’s numbers and it gives me confirmation of healing is going on.
Can this machine clean the blood as well?
Is there anyone who had heart attack and survive after ecmo, one stunt process completed in patient but BP continue to be low, now he is on ecmo
This is so cool
Can we use it for covid pt?
Yes, you can.
I m the only patient in history of Uk who was on ECMO for 111 days I suffered three cardiac arrests and stroke I had zero percent chance to survive but with the help of Almighty and staff I survived doctors call me true miracle
How long can an adult be on ECMO ?
I think it is about 1 month.
@@KrishnaKrishna-ht6fd I think I thought that she thought that he thought...
Sir, my brother is also undergoing ECMO in India from last 10 days . His age is 38 years. When he will recover sir?
He was corona positive and pneumonia in lungs. HRCT score was 23/25
Now, as per dr. 90% infection is there in lungs.
Sir, plz reply when he will recover.
did he recover.. how is he now ?
Everyone is different can't really give a time. Hope he's doing ok
Would this work for hantavirus? I would imagine no, since it is a virus and causes organ damage with a crazy high fatality rate ..
Good question. Not sure on that one!
@@HealthEdSolutions I got curious and did some research. Apparently, when treated early using ECMO, hantavirus actually has a pretty good survival rate. Up to 80%!
That’s interesting Michelle! Thanks for sharing that!
How helpful is it in covid?
it not an enlisted corporal. it’s cor-po-re-al.
Thanks for the feedback!
But how does it oxygenate the blood? Dont write you Will explain how it works when you dont.
You lost me when you mispronounced corporeal
Seriously? Thats your problem out of the whole video? How else was this video not up to your clearly high standards?
