The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in thoracic surgery focuses on two settings. The first is intraoperative utilization to either facilitate surgery or manage an acute cardiopulmonary crisis. The second is in the postoperative setting for complications after surgery. Each setting requires understanding the capabilities of ECMO, the risks and benefits of extracorporeal technology, and even the creative application of this technology for optimal patient outcomes. In this chapter, we discuss the technical aspects of ECMO initiation and the various scenarios the general thoracic surgeon may encounter, including intraoperative ECMO during pulmonary resections and ECMO for postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
