Hospital-acquired infections in neonatal ECMO patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract To evaluate the impact of hospital-acquired infections ( HAIs ) on the prognosis of neonates treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and analyzing related prognostic indicators, we conducted a..

ECMO Use in Neonates with Hypoxic–Ischemic Encephalopathy

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important rescue strategy for neonates with severe cardiorespiratory failure, yet its role in the management of hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains subject to debate...

Assembling, Priming, and Storing Circuits for Pediatric and Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract The storing of dry-assembled and primed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits is common practice and endorsed by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) for up to 30 days. We..

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes After Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in a New ECMO Center

Abstract Objective: A standardized multifaceted approach to follow-up is crucial for monitoring neurodevelopment in neonates who undergo extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The Pittsburgh Index for Pre-ECMO Risk (PIPER+) score, which..

Racial and Sex Disparities in Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Neonatal Extracorporeal Life Support in the United States

Abstract The impact of race on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) availability, morbidity, and mortality remains poorly defined. We sought to define the impact of race/ethnicity, sex, and location on ECLS..

Associations of cephalad drainage in neonatal veno-venous ECMO – A mixed-effects, propensity score adjusted retrospective analysis of 20 years of…

Abstract Background Neurologic complications can occur during neonatal Veno-Venous (VV) ECMO. The addition of a cephalad drainage cannula (i.e., VVDL+V) to dual lumen cannulation (i.e., VVDL) has been advocated to..
