Neonatal & pediatric ECPR? Significant variations in clinical practice/organizational systems in #ECMO centers. Lack of high-quality evidence/guidelines key contributing factors. Limitated resources affect ability to provide consistent services. @asaiojournal.bsky.social #PedsICU 🖇️ bit.ly/4ad1ssR

Neonatal & pediatric #ECPR survey 💦 64% centers keep primed circuit 📋 68% centers have ECPR protocol 🫀 cardiac surgeon most common cannulator 🧊 71% centers did not apply cooling 💨 oxygenation/CO2 strategy varied upon initiation 🧠 44% centers have guidelines on OD/follow-up 🖇️ bit.ly/4ad1ssR

Characterization of multiple organ dysfunction for children on ECMO ⚖️ starting the day of cannulation, more ODs developed in non-survivors; difference persisted throughout run/after decannulation 🔍 opportunities to investigate + intervene on risk factors in peri-cannulation period? 🖇️ bit.ly/4gmBSW3

#ECMO before pediatric heart #transplantation: comparing two eras 🫀 although #ECLS before #Tx decreased over years, survival & outcomes improved. Compared to previous decade, ECMO is associated with lower mortality and better long-term survival. #PedsICU @asaiojournal.bsky.social 🔗 bit.ly/4fwcVHp
