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..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..

Abstract Objective We aimed to outline the experience with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory and cardiac failure in neonates in our institution and compare our results with those from..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To investigate outcomes associated with conventional roller or centrifugal pumps during neonatal venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our primary hypothesis is that in comparison with conventional roller-pump support, centrifugal pump use is..
Read MoreAbstract Background Pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often receive repeated red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. This study aims to quantify and characterize causes of RBC loss on ECMO...
Read MoreAbstract Since the initiation of Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry in 1989, more than 47,000 neonates treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been registered worldwide with an overall..
Read MoreAbstract Recently three different neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits have been employed in our clinic. These circuits were compared for clotting and bleeding complications. Initially, we used an ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a universally accepted and life-saving therapy for neonates with respiratory or cardiac failure that is refractory to maximal medical management. Early studies found unacceptable..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract This guideline discusses nutritional support for neonatal and pediatric patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Data for nutrient delivery during ECMO support and its impact on outcomes are..
Read MoreAbstract Utilization of extraocorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become increasingly widespread as a bridging therapy for neonates with severe, reversible respiratory or cardiac diseases. While significant risks remain, due to..
