Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a special procedure that uses an artificial heart-lung machine to take over the work of the lungs (and sometimes also the heart).
Refractory hypoxemia is a severe form of low oxygen levels in the blood that does not respond well to standard oxygen therapy. It can be challenging to manage and may require advanced interventions such as mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to improve oxygenation.
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization was created in 1989.

Hemoperfusion is sometimes described as an extracorporeal form of treatment because the blood is pumped through a device outside the patient's body.

Oxygenation occurs in the placenta. After this blood then returns to the fetus via the umbilical vein.
Normally, the patient would get rid of CO2 by the act of expiration.If this is not the case, it may be necessary to intubate them and control their breathing for them. It may be that their breathing pattern was erratic, shallow or not good enough for gas exchange to take place.
