Incidence of death or disability at 6 months after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in Australia: a prospective, multicentre, registry-embedded cohort study. The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. 2022 Sep 26:S2213-2600(22)00248-X. doi: 10.1016/S2213-2600(22)00248-X. Advance online publication.

ECMO is used for patients who are unlikely to survive with other forms of life support (such as mechanical ventilation or medication to support cardiac function). This study aimed to determine the incidence of death or disability at 6-months after ECMO. We found that death and disability was common, with one third of patients without disability at 6-months.

A Core Outcome Set for Research in Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. Critical Care Medicine. 2021 Dec 1;49(12):e1252-e1254. doi: 10.1097/CCM.0000000000005110.

This international Delphi study identified core outcomes and measurement tools for research involving ECMO. It will allow international comparison of studies of patients receiving ECMO using the same definitions.
