Abstract
The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) was formed in 1989 as a group of centers that were actively using extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in the management of cardiopulmonary failure. Among the functions of ELSO are enhancing communication, developing guidelines for ECLS, and maintaining a registry of ECLS cases. In 2021, ELSO had 543 domestic and international centers who actively report data to the registry.[1]
