Abstract
In the field of lung transplantation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used in multiple phases of perioperative care including pre-operatively as a bridge to transplantation, intraoperative support, and post-operative support for delayed graft function. ECMO is safe for use in patients with end-stage lung disease who experience rapid clinical deterioration prior to lung transplantation [1]. At some institutions, ECMO has replaced cardiopulmonary bypass intraoperatively during transplantation [2, 3]. After implantation, ECMO has been employed as a management strategy to support early failing allografts in lung transplantation [4]. Indications, patient selection, technical considerations, and outcomes for ECMO support in lung transplantation are described in this chapter.
