Even Jordan Zimmermann would be hard-pressed to hit that mark in 2013, when games are taking an average of 2 hours 57 minutes.

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.
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a procedure that uses a machine to take over the work of the lungs and sometimes the heart.CMO will not heal your childâs heart or the lungs, but it will allow time for them to rest and recover. Your child can be on ECMO for several days to a few weeks. When the heart or the lungs have healed and can work on their own, the support from ECMO is gradually removed.
