The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in France has increased since the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. By contrast, neonatal and pediatric ECMO support in France was known to be limited to a few centers offering congenital cardiac surgery. The purpose of this survey conducted in 2017 was to identify the neonatal and pediatric ECMO centers in France as well as networks existing between ECMO and non-ECMO centers. ⋯ Of the centers reporting the highest case volumes, four offered mobile ECMO abilities. Well-organized networks for the most severe neonates and children were not identified in France.
