ECMO Duration Calculator
Calculate total minutes from ECMO start to stop, including leap years, month changes and year changes.
Calculated result
Enter the start and stop dates and times to calculate total minutes. Editing an input clears the previous result.
Calculation notes
Dates use DD/MM/YYYY and times use HH:MM (00:00–23:59). The stop time must be at or after the start time. Matching times give 0 min.
This calculates the full interval, without subtracting interruptions or recommending how long ECMO should continue. It uses the Gregorian calendar, not the lunar calendar.
