A few years ago I admittedly knew very little about extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its indications. I remember going to a class on ECMO at Life Link III and having questions like:   &amp;nbsp;   Are we actually pumping blood backward through the body?   &amp;nbsp;   What happens to the blood in the heart when using ECMO in cardiac arrest (ECPR)?   &amp;nbsp;   What kind of vent settings should I use?   &amp;nbsp;   I am by no means an expert on ECMO, in fact, I have only been on a handful of ECMO transports, but the concept fascinates me and I thought a blog breaking down a few concepts of ECMO physiology would be beneficial.
