@PJSpen1982 @TheJHLT @stanfordctsurg @JW_MacArthur Definitely a case of correlation not causation to be carefully interpreted. Better to say the need for ECMO not ECMO itself is associated with survival differences. In fact, patients who are bridged and survive to 30 days after transplant show no difference in long term survival.

[JHLT @TheJHLT]

ECMO is increasingly used a bridge to transplant. In this study of the UNOS database, use of #ECMO as a bridge to multiorgan #transplant was associated with increased 30 day mortality and decreased long-term survival @ElbertHeng @JW_MacArthur @StanfordCTSurg
