Abstract Introduction Due to the risk of thrombosis, nearly all children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) receive systemic anticoagulation. While heparin has traditionally been used, there are reports of..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) not only significantly improves survival rates in severely ill neonates but also is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental issues. To systematically review the available literature..

Abstract Objectives: Extracorporeal life support can lead to rapid reversal of hypoxemia but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation targets in severely ill patients are unclear. Our primary objective..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supplies circulatory support and gas exchange to critically ill patients. Despite the use of systemic anticoagulation, blood exposure to ECMO surfaces causes thromboembolism complications. Inhibition..

Abstract Objectives: To investigate changes in von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentration, function, and multimers during pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and determine whether routine monitoring of VWF during ECMO would be useful..

Abstract OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate whether there are differences in outcome for pediatric patients when extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is initiated on-hours compared with off-hours. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study...

Abstract Background This study aims to compare lactate and central venous blood gas in the prediction of outcome in pediatric venoarterial mode extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Method This was..

Abstract Pediatric cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients have high mortality rates. The purpose of our study was to develop and validate the Pediatric Survival After Veno-arterial ECMO (Pedi-SAVE) score for predicting..

Abstract Background Inflammatory and endothelial activation responses during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in children are poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to determine if circulating inflammatory, endothelial activation,..
