Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of breeding cage technology, specifically relating to a sheep cage for ECMO. Background Technology

[0002] ECMO, or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, is a treatment method that provides mechanically assisted breathing and circulatory support. It is primarily used to provide continuous extracorporeal respiration and circulation for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure, thus sustaining their lives. Through the circulatory system, the patient's blood is guided to a large machine. The machine uses filtration and oxidation technologies to bring the blood to the levels of oxygen and nutrients required by the body, and then the processed blood is returned to the patient. This replaces or assists the respiratory and circulatory systems in life-threatening situations such as injury, disease, or cardiac / pulmonary insufficiency, thus sustaining life. ECMO is widely used in the treatment of severe respiratory failure, acute heart failure, and pediatric cardiac surgery, and is an extremely important life support technology.
