Abstract Introduction: Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high risk, low-volume technology. Infrequency of this technology and associated complications may translate to unfamiliarity of identification and management of potentially..

Abstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a treatment for acute respiratory failure that can provide extracorporeal gas exchange, allowing lung rest. However, while most patients remain mechanically ventilated during ECLS,..

Abstract Introduction This study aims to determine the oxygenator impact on alterations of peramivir (PRV) in a contemporary neonatal/pediatric (1/4-inch) and adolescent/adult (3/8-inch) extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit including the..

Abstract Aims Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly being used to support patients in cardiogenic shock (CS). Early determination of disposition is paramount, as longer durations of support have..
