Antimicrobial stewardship challenges in #ECMO? #ECLS patients present 3 unique key characteristics:
indwelling cannulae
#extracorporeal circuit
higher severity-of-illness
An ECMO bundle focusing on cannula insertion/maintenance, minimizing circuit breaks, reducing other indwelling devices, shortening run duration could be part of a core strategy to minimize nosocomial infections in this population.
