Why is ECMO scary?
ECMO is scary because it's a complex and invasive medical procedure that involves using a machine to oxygenate and pump blood for patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. The risks and potential complications make it a last resort option, often used when other treatments have failed.

Is ECMO a last resort?

Why is ECMO so expensive?
I've heard that ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is an advanced medical procedure that can be lifesaving, but it also comes with a hefty price tag. I'm curious to understand why the cost of ECMO is so high.
