Greetings from the Desk of Journal Coordinator!
It is with great pleasure that we bring to you the latest quarterly issue of the Indian Journal of ECMO, continuing our commitment to sharing high-quality, peer-reviewed content relevant to the growing field of extracorporeal life support.As the journal continues to grow in scope and readership, we are proud to feature a wide variety of article types that inform, challenge, and inspire the ECMO community across India and beyond.In this issue, we highlight several noteworthy contributions.Our featured review article offers a comprehensive examination of the logistics, safety considerations, and protocols involved in the transportation of patients on ECMO.As ECMO is increasingly being initiated in peripheral centers and transferred to tertiary care facilities, this topic is both timely and highly relevant.Another important discussion comes from a thought-provoking article on anticoagulant-free ECMO, which explores this evolving practice with a critical lens, particularly in patients with high bleeding risk.We also present an intriguing case report on oxygenator failure, offering valuable insights into troubleshooting and contingency planning under high-stakes conditions.Finally, this issue introduces an innovative technique for arterial return cannula placement in VA ECMO, potentially simplifying the procedure and improving outcomes.We hope this edition serves not only as a resource but also as a catalyst for discussion and future research.As always, we welcome your contributions, feedback, and collaboration as we advance the science and practice of ECMO in India.
