Abstract
- Ambulatory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has shown promise as a bridge to lung transplantation. The primary goal of ambulatory ECMO is to provide enough gas exchange to allow patients to participate in preoperative physical therapy. Various strategies of ambulatory ECMO are utilized depending upon patients' need. A wide spectrum of ECMO configurations is available to tackle this situation. We discuss those configurations in this article.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of interestThe authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (© Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2021.)
