Abstract Importance  Oxygen supplementation is a cornerstone treatment in pediatric critical care. Accumulating evidence suggests that overzealous use of oxygen, leading to hyperoxia, is associated with worse outcomes compared with patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue treatment used in children and adults with reversible cardiorespiratory failure. The role of ECMO is not fully established in pediatric sepsis. In..
