Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how starting venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) affects vasoactive-inotropic scores (VIS) in kids with acute respiratory distress syndrome and cardiovascular issues.
- - Conducted at a pediatric ECMO center, the retrospective study analyzed data from 32 children, revealing significant pre- and post-ECMO changes in various medical metrics, including VIS, oxygenation levels, and blood gas measurements.
- - Findings showed that VIS decreased shortly after VV-ECMO initiation, alongside improvements in oxygen saturation, blood pH, and carbon dioxide levels, suggesting positive immediate effects of the treatment.
