Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for postcardiotomy mechanical cardiovascular support in children with congenital heart disease

Joshua W Salvin et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 2008 Dec.

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used to support postcardiotomy cardiorespiratory failure in children with congenital heart disease. We report on survival outcomes and factors associated with survival for postcardiotomy ECMO patients.
