Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with heart transplantation : A clinical prognosis analysis.

Obesity, poor preoperative cardiac function, and considerable intraoperative red blood cell transfusion may influence prognosis. Extracardiac compression before ECMO is an independent risk factor for prognosis. PMID: 31410515 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
