Core Tip	Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a very important mode of support for patients of all ages with acute severe respiratory failure, non-responsive to conventional treatments. Goal of this review is to describe evolution of ECMO support for respiratory failure, changes and advances in technology, epidemiology, outcomes and care of pediatric respiratory failure patients. Also, we would like to describe changes in modes of support and although veno-arterial (VA) mode of support remains the predominant type used, veno-venous (VV) support is increasingly used especially in older children and adults. We described advantages and limitations of VV ECMO comparing to VA support.
