A review of the fundamental principles and evidence base in the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill adult patients.

abstract：:Decision-making for the hospitalized dying and critically ill is often characterized by an understanding of autonomy that leads to clinical care and outcomes that are antithetical to patients' preferences around suffering and quality of life. A better understanding of autonomy will facilitate the ultimate goal of a pa...
