Interpretation of the Practice Standards for Adult Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Technology（2024 Edition）：weaning from ECMO

doi:10.3877/cma.j.issn.2096-1537.2025.01.013

Abstract

Abstract:

National Health Commission （NHC） first issued the Practice Standards for Adult Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Technology （2024 Edition），which covers the indications/contraindications，related operations and management of ECMO technology，aiming to standardize its application. We mainly interpret the part of weaning from ECMO in this specification，aiming to enhance understanding and improve the feasibility and compliance of its clinical application.

Key words: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Guidelines, Interpretation, Trial off test
