Description
Summary:Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation （ECMO） can play an important role by providing short-term circulatory support to enable myocardial recovery in patients with life-threatening heart failure. Currently, over 4000 children who received ECMO for cardiac support have been reported to the Extracorporeal Life Support Registry, with the majority1 of patients placed on ECMO following cardiac surgery. It has been recently reported that the overall survival rate of approximately 40% in children requiring ECMO after repair of congenital heart lesions.1-3 The risk of mortality was significantly increased in boys, patients younger than 1 month old,
