Observational Study
Outcomes of patients with respiratory failure declined for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a prospective observational study.
Descriptive information on referral patterns and short-term outcomes of patients with respiratory failure declined for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is lacking. ⋯ Nearly half of the patients declined for ECMO consideration were alive on day 7. More information on patient trajectory and long-term outcomes in declined referrals is needed to refine selection criteria.
