Excerpt

Arterial-venous extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue tool in acute heart failure after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) when separation from CPB cannot be achieved by conventional means (volume, inotropes, intra-aortic counterpulsation IABP). The role of ECMO in this scenario is far from clear and factors predicting a poor outcome are lacking. However, such indices would be helpful to find a reasonable approach. …
