How long can you survive on ECMO?
I'm curious to know, how long can a patient typically survive on ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation? Is there a general timeframe or does it vary greatly depending on the individual's condition and the severity of their illness? Are there any factors that can influence the duration of ECMO support, and what are the potential risks and complications associated with prolonged use of this life-saving technology?

How is life after ECMO?
I'm curious to know, how does life feel after undergoing ECMO therapy? Does it bring about significant changes in one's physical condition, daily routines, or emotional well-being? Are there any lasting effects that patients need to be aware of, or any advice you would give to those who have recently completed their ECMO treatment journey? Understanding the aftermath of such a critical intervention can be invaluable for both patients and their families.
