This news will certainly save lives. Methodist Dallas now has a new treatment for the hospital's sickest heart and lung patients. It's called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, and it will help support critically ill patients who would not otherwise survive, including those who don't respond to ventilators. Our heart and lung team is very excited about the future of this lifesaving technology!
