Practical ECMO Manual

Published by the People's Medical Publishing House, The ECMO Practical Handbook is written by Huang Weiming, an expert with deep attainments in critical care medicine. The book systematically introduces the principles, clinical applications, and management essentials of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology, covering the full process from basic theory to practical operation. As a practical guide for clinicians, its value lies in translating complex life support technology into clear, actionable clinical pathways. The book not only elaborates in detail on ECMO indications, contraindications, and the timing of initiation and weaning, but also explores core difficulties such as anticoagulation management and prevention and treatment of complications, supplemented by clinical case analyses that enhance its practical guidance. For healthcare professionals in critical care medicine, emergency medicine, cardiac surgery, and related fields, this is a desk reference that can improve their understanding of ECMO technology and their clinical decision-making ability. Its content is organized with attention to logic and practicality, avoiding the piling up of overly abstruse theory so that readers can quickly grasp the key technical points. At a time when ECMO technology is increasingly becoming an important means of treating critically ill patients, the publication of this book provides clinical workers with timely and systematic knowledge updates.
