Effect of timing of cannulation on outcome for pediatric extracorporeal life support.
Literature reports worse outcomes for operations performed during off-hours. As this has not been studied in pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS), we compared complications based on the timing of cannulation.. ⋯ Outcomes were not significantly worse for patients undergoing ELCS cannulation during off-hours compared to normal weekday working hours.
