Title: M38 Duration of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support Does Not Correlate With Survival
Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers patients in extremis an opportunity for recovery. The pulmonary/cardiopulmonary support provided by ECMO may obscure the patient's underlying physiology making it difficult to differentiate between recovery and futility. Duration of ECMO support is often used by family and hospital staff to influence withdrawal of support. We examined the role that duration of ECMO support plays in predicting survival.
