PY - 2018 T2 - The PICU Handbook AB - Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of modified cardiopulmonary bypass that has evolved since the beginnings of bypass in the 1950s.1 It can be used for days to weeks to support patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. Since the first successful use of ECMO in the 1970s, several developments have been made related to cannulation strategies and machinery. However, several topics related to ECMO remain controversial and ill defined, including patient selection (“ECMO candidacy”), timing of ECMO initiation, and proper anticoagulation.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/10 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1152487755 ER -
