Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is mechanically applied prolonged cardiopulmonary support. In severe hypothermia extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or cardiopulmonary bypass may be useful. In severe hypothermia, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or cardiopulmonary bypass may be useful. The risk is increased with use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in preterm infants. Treatment aims to prevent respiratory failure and to ensure adequate blood oxygenation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be used if the situation deteriorates further. Other treatments to improve oxygenation may include prone positioning or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Some severely affected babies may be saved with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). For example, ECMO - Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. Hypotension remaining after oxygenation may be treated by rapid crystalloid infusion. Extremely low blood pressure usually represents the inadequate oxygenation of tissues. The main cause is total necrosis of the cerebral neurons following loss of brain oxygenation. If these are insufficient, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be an option. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was reportedly used to keep him alive. Tetralogy of Fallot results in low oxygenation of blood.
