Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides cardiopulmonary support for critically ill patients. Portable ECMO devices can be applied in both in-hospital and out-of-hospital emergency conditions. We evaluated the safety and biocompatibility of a novel centrifugal pump and ECMO device of the OASSIST ECMO System (Jiangsu STMed Technologies Co., Suzhou, China) in a 168-h ovine ECMO model.
