Objective To summarize the experience of applying extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after cardiac surgery in adult patient. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 27 patients underwent ECMO from December 2011 to October 2013. There were 15 males and 12 females at the mean age of 51±11 years ranging from 41 to 73 years. Vein-artery perfusion was performed in all 27 patients. Results All 27 patients underwent ECMO. The mean time of using ECMO was 81.2±36.4 hours ranging from 48.0-192.0 hours. The mean time of hospital stay was 307.8±97.0 hours ranging from 168.0-480.0 hours. The rate of weaning from ECMO was 77.8% (21/27). The rate of discharge was 51.9% (14/27). The rate of perioperative mortality was 44.4% (12/27). Conclusion Effective monitoring with other supportive equipments is helpful to promote the result of ECMO.
