Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as a core technology for saving the lives of critically ill neonates, has become mature in the treatment of severe cardiopulmonary failure in term neonates.
However, its application in preterm infants has long been restricted due to their physiological fragility and
other characteristics. This article systematically sorts out the historical evolution, feasibility, core challenges, key technical points, prognostic outcomes, and ethical considerations of ECMO application in preterm infants, focusing on clinical evidence-based basis and practical core, so as to provide scientific reference for the standardized application of this technology.
