Infectious complications in paediatric patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence, treatment and evolution of infections in children treated with ECMO. ⋯ Infection in children with ECMO is common. There are no specific infection parameters and less than half of the clinical infections are confirmed microbiologically. There was no statistically significant correlation between infection and mortality or duration of PICU stay.
