Article Abstract

Adolescents with severe cardiogenic shock can present to both paediatric and adult centres. We present six adolescent children who had extracorporeal membrane oxygenation consultation fast-tracked with clinical care input from the adult multidisciplinary team, including interhospital transfers on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. After recovery on conventional cardiogenic shock care or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or bridge to transplant, all had favourable neurologic outcome.
