Use of Image Guidance During Pediatric Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation: A Survey of the American Pediatric Surgical Association
Abstract:This study evaluated practices for image guidance during placement of bicaval dual-lumen (BCDL) venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) cannulas in pediatric and adolescent patients and elucidates reasoning behind surgeon practices.
