Abstract

Abstract:

In 2024，the National Health Commission formulated and officially implemented the Practice Standards for Adult Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Technology （2024 Edition），providing important guidance for clinical ECMO-related procedures. This article，written by the contributors involved in the development of these standards，interprets the indications and contraindications of ECMO，aiming to enhance understanding and improve clinical applicability.

Key words: National Health Commission, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Practice Standard, Interpretation
