Would changing this to supply the brain with these pumped up oxygenated red blood cells save a bunch of brain cells from dying? We'll never know because there is no one in the world to ask that question of and have them take charge to find the answer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracorporeal_membrane_oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), also known as extracorporeal life support (ECLS), is an extracorporeal technique of providing prolonged cardiac and respiratory support to persons whose heart and lungs
are unable to provide an adequate amount of gas exchange or perfusion
to sustain life. The technology for ECMO is largely derived from cardiopulmonary bypass, which provides shorter-term support.
This intervention has mostly been used on children, but it is seeing
more use in adults with cardiac and respiratory failure. ECMO works by
removing blood from the person's body and artificially removing the
carbon dioxide and oxygenating red blood cells.
Generally, it is used either post-cardiopulmonary bypass or in late
stage treatment of a person with profound heart and/or lung failure,
although it is now seeing use as a treatment for cardiac arrest in
certain centers, allowing for treatment of the underlying cause of
arrest while circulation and oxygenation are supported.

I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
