Abstract:

With the development of cardiopulmonary support system, continuous renal replacement therapy, and artificial liver support system, the roles of extracorporeal life support in treating patients in the perioperative period or critical patients are attracting more and more attention. The miniaturization of machines and technology innovations make life support systems run from operating rooms to the bedside and become portable and mobile. With the help of life support systems, it is possible for pre-hospital critical patients to be transported or transferred. This paper reviews applications and prospects of extracorporeal life support systems for the treatment of critical patients.

Key words: extracorporeal life support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, continuous renal replacement therapies, artificial liver support system
