AB  - It  has  been  estimated  that  advanced  resuscitation  techniques  such  as  extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (ECMO)  might  increase  by  40%  the  number  of  organ  donations.According  to  the  U.S.  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services,  in  2020  more  than  109,000  patients  were  waiting  for  a  transplant  in  the  United  States.  In  the  United  States,  seventeen  human  beings  die  every  day  because  of  lack  of  organs  available  for  transplantation,  representing  a  total  annual  average  of  approximately  6,200  deaths.The  rate  of  organ  demand  has  increased  5  times  in  the  last  25  years,  while  the  rate  of  donors  has  increased  only  twice.  This  big  disparity  between  organ  needs  versus  organ  availability  represents  currently  one  of  the  most  important  challenges  to  overcome  in  the  field  of  transplantation.One  donor  can  save  up  to  nine  lives.
