It is with great pleasure that we present this Supplementary Issue of the Indian Journal of ECMO (IJECMO).This issue is released on the occasion of the Joint Conference of SWAAC-ELSO and the Extracorporeal Society of India (ESOI), scheduled to be held in Chennai from 5th to 8th February 2026.The supplement contains the abstracts that will be presented during the conference and provides an early view of the scientific discussions planned for this important meeting.The abstracts included in this issue represent a wide range of work in extracorporeal life support.They include advances in ECMO technology, evolving clinical practices, multidisciplinary team models, education and training initiatives, quality improvement projects, and outcomes research.Together, these contributions reflect the rapid growth of ECMO practice and the increasing academic engagement of clinicians and researchers across the region.By publishing these abstracts before their presentation, IJECMO provides a permanent and citable academic record.This supports scientific exchange, encourages critical discussion, and promotes learning during and beyond the conference.Such supplementary issues also highlight the important role of scientific meetings in sharing new ideas and building meaningful research collaborations.We congratulate and sincerely thank all the contributors for their valuable scientific work and their commitment to advancing extracorporeal life support.We also acknowledge the efforts of the organizing committee, scientific reviewers, and the editorial team for ensuring the academic quality and timely publication of this supplement.We hope this issue will enrich the scientific dialog at the conference and inspire thoughtful discussions and future research.We also encourage all the contributors to continue sharing their work with IJECMO in the years ahead.With sustained high-quality submissions and active academic participation, we are confident that IJECMO will continue to evolve and establish itself as a journal of international standard and impact.
