  • Title: Challenges in non-neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
    Author: Houmes RJ, Wildschut E, Pokorna P, Vobruba V, Kraemer U, Reiss I, Tibboel D.
    Journal: Minerva Pediatr; 2012 Aug; 64(4):439-45. PubMed ID: 22728615.
    Abstract:
    This review will address the different challenges for the use of non-neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). It will discuss the available evidence for the use of pediatric ECMO in respiratory and circulatory failure, focusing on indications and contra-indications and choice of ECMO mode. Furthermore we will try to define optimal treatment goals, identify primary outcome parameters and calculate the expected need for non-neonatal ECMO per 1.000.000 inhabitants.
