Management of Adult Patients Supported with Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV ECMO): Guideline from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO).

Disclaimer: The use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) in adults has rapidly increased worldwide. This ELSO guideline is intended to be a practical guide to patient selection, initiation, cannulation, management, and weaning of VV ECMO for adult respiratory failure. This is a consensus document which has been updated from the previous version to provide guidance to the clinician.
