Abstract Circuit thrombosis and mechanical failure are important complications during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), but expected circuit duration and predictors of circuit failure remain poorly defined. We performed a retrospective..

Abstract Membrane oxygenator failure remains a concern for perfusion teams. Successful outcomes for this low-frequency, high-risk intervention are predicated on having written institutional protocols for both the oxygenator change-out procedure..

Abstract Objective Failure of membrane oxygenator (MO) function of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (VV ECMO) remains problematic. The development of device-induced coagulation disorder (COD) or worsened gas transfer (WGT) necessitates..
