Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides life support for reversible heart and lung failure in neonates and children. This review examines ECMO applications, outcomes, and its integration with other critical care technologies.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Pediatric Critical Care
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a vital intermediate-term cardiopulmonary bypass technique.
  • It supports neonates, children, and adults with reversible heart and/or lung failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review institutional experiences with ECMO over 15 years.
  • To compare these experiences with international data and literature.
  • To discuss technical aspects, complications, and long-term outcomes of ECMO.

Main Methods:

  • Review of institutional ECMO data from the University of Louisville (15-year period).
  • Comparison with international ECMO data and relevant literature.
  • Analysis of technical considerations, complications, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • ECMO is indicated for neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypertension, meconium aspiration syndrome, and post-cardiac surgery.
  • In older children, indications include myocarditis, infections, respiratory failure (RSV, ARDS), and peri-operative cardiac support.
  • The study will present a comprehensive review of these applications and outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • ECMO is a critical intervention for severe pediatric cardiopulmonary failure.
  • Understanding its applications, complications, and integration with other technologies is essential.
  • Future directions may involve interfaces with less invasive technologies like high-frequency ventilation and nitric oxide.
