EMCO
The ECMO team can decrease support even more or take away ECMO for minutes or hours to see if the patient needs to stay on ECMO.

You will hear the ECMO team talk about a “trial off.” The nursing staff will draw frequent labs to see how your loved one is doing. If everything looks good, the ECMO team will talk about removing ECMO.

If the test shows us the patient needs more time on ECMO, we can put them back on ECMO support. The medical team taking care of your loved one will walk you through what they are looking for each day.
