“…Our organism profile is similar to that reported in ECMO patients. 1,2,4,6 Amongst VV-ECMO, common isolates include gram negative rods, candida species, and Staphylococcus/Streptococcus species. 2,7,8 Compared to central venous catheter associated infections, the ECMO population microbiological spectrum shifts toward gram-negatives and fungi rather than Staphylococcus species.…”

“…1,2 Infectious complications of ECMO have been shown to increase morbidity but not necessarily mortality. [2][3][4][5][6] To further the understanding of E-BSI, we conducted a retrospective analysis to assess our institutional clinical characteristics and outcomes. A total of 75 patients were included for 712 ECMO days with an average duration of 9.5 days.…”

Background Infectious complications have been shown to increase the morbidity of venous‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO) population, including the use of right ventricular assist devices. Aim We aimed to evaluate our VV‐ECMO population for ECMO related bloodstream infections (E‐BSI) and characteristics that affect risk and overall outcomes. Methods A retrospective chart review of adult patients (>18 years of age)supported with VV ECMO was conducted. Demographic data as well as antimicrobial use and presecence of bacteremia was collected. Results We report a low infection rate of 2.7%. Conclusions We postulate our low BSI rate may be due to our use of perioperative antimicrobials as well as a majority of our cannulations occurring in the operating room. We do not routinely utilize prophylactic antimicrobials on ECMO. Further investigation into trends, risks, and outcomes related to E‐BSI is needed.
