Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is now an accepted therapy for neonatal respiratory failure due to reversible lung disease. There is a continued need to train ECMO team members using animal models. Hanford miniature swine are an appropriate model for this purpose because of the availability and size as well as anatomic and physiologic similarities to humans. This article describes training ECMO team members in venoarterial and venovenous bypass utilizing Hanford miniature swine.Keywords
