Whoa that's nuts! Sounds amazing for saving babies though after reading the article my next thought was using that plus a dialysis machine to create a Frankenstein body to cheat death.

My daughter owes her life to ECMO. Scary as hell, but I'm thankful for it every day. The team that saved her life just recently performed the first transport using a portable ECMO machine. The one they used on my daughter was the size of a vending machine. They now have the portable units down to the size of a small suitcase.
