AI EXPLANATION: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced form of temporary life support used when a patient's heart or lungs are critically ill and cannot function properly on their own. During the procedure, blood is continuously drawn from the body, channeled through an external machine that adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, and then pumped back into the bloodstream. This intensive care intervention allows the vital organs time to rest and recover.
