Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) have become standard therapies for children with advanced cardiac and/or respiratory disease requiring high levels of support. Recent developments in device and circuit design, patient selection, and clinical management have permitted good outcomes even amongst small patients with complex disease. This chapter will feature the indications, circuitry, management, complications, and current research relating to pediatric ECMO and MCS.
