Abstract

Abstract:

In recent years, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being widely used to treat patients with acute reversibility refractory cardiogenic shock and/or refractory respiratory failure. Despite its proven efficacy, ECMO carries significant risks for complications, and infection is one of the most common complications during ECMO support. Infections during ECMO support have significantly increased mortality of these patients. In this paper, infections during ECMO support have been reviewed for a better understanding, prevention and management.

Key words: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Extracorporeal life support, Infection, Complications
