Abstract:Background
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used as life support for lung transplantation. However, there are no clinical risk models to predict whether ECMO support is required for lung transplantation. This study developed a simple risk score to predict the need for intraoperative ECMO in patients undergoing lung transplantation, identify high-risk patients who need ECMO support, and guide clinical interventions.
