June 2022
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist devices (VADs) are increasingly used in critically ill children. Despite improvements in mechanical design and clinical management, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events remain significant causes of morbidity and mortality related to the use of both devices.

Methods: We conducted targeted surveillance for MIS-C from March 15 to May 20, 2020, in pediatric health centers across the United States. The case definition included six criteria: serious illness leading to hospitalization, an age of less than 21 years, fever that lasted for at least 24 hours, laboratory evidence of inflammation, multisystem organ involvement, and evidence of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) based on reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), antibody testing, or exposure to persons with Covid-19 in the past month.
