On-support & post-weaning mortality in post-cardiotomy #ECMO:
discrepancy exists between weaning & discharge rate
on ECMO mortality = 36.6%, mostly associated with increased preop hemodynamic instability
post-weaning mortality = 23.1%. associated with higher rate of complications (re-thoracotomy, post-operative bleeding, post-op cardiac arrest, bowel ischemia, #AKI, septic shock): post-weaning care pivotal!
