Research Article: Impact of Nosocomial Infection on in-Hospital Mortality Rate in Adult Patients Under Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Cardiac Surgery
Introduction:
Data adapted from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization indicated that more than extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) runs were performed per year from to in adult patients. The use of ECMO post-cardiotomy plays an important role in clinical practice. The rate of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) applications has increased in recent decades. However, even in developed countries with the most advanced medical care, the In-hospital mortality rate of patients receiving VA-ECMO…
