Christina Maratta et al. ASAIO J. 2020 Sep/Oct.

Abstract

This guideline describes prolonged extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), applicable to Pediatric respiratory failure. These guidelines describe useful and safe practice, prepared by ELSO and based on extensive experience and are considered consensus guidelines. These guidelines are not intended to define standard of care and are revised at regular intervals as new information, devices, medications, and techniques become available.
