Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assists cardiopulmonary functions outside the body. Based on the location of drainage and reinfusion there are three different types of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system which are arteriovenous, venoarterial, and venovenous. Whereas, on the bases of age, ECMO systems are classified into neonatal, pediatric and adult. . The location of drainage and reinfusion port of cannulas determines the modality of the ECMO system. If drainage and reinfusion both are from central veins it is referred as venovenous ECMO or if it is from vein to artery it is referred to as venoarterial ECMO. ECMO is helpful for people who are very ill with conditions of the lungs and heart, or who are awaiting for or recovering from a heart transplant. It may be used when other life support measures do not work. ECMO does not treat or cure a disease, but can assist the body temporarily when it is not able to provide the tissues with enough oxygen.
Growing number of congenital heart defects, increase demand for ECMO. For instance, according to American Heart Association, approximately 40,000 infants are born with a congenital heart defect in U.S. each year and around 2 to 3 million individuals are living with a congenital heart defect.
Market Dynamics
Growth of ECMO market is due to factors such as increasing prevalence of cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), occupational lung disease or pulmonary hypertension. For instance, according to data published by the World Health Organization, in May 2022, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019.
