That is so amazing. I had never heard of the ECMO before. I watched my best friend die from lung failure after he had a stem cell transplant from testicular cancer. He was only 29 and had been fighting the cancer for already over a year. The treatments to kill the cancer scarred his lungs so badly he couldn't breathe and he didnt tolerate being intubated for long.
I wonder about things like the ECMO in situations like that but... I think he wouldnt have been a candidate. Wonderful machine.
