Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Departments of Obstetrics & Gynecology, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and University of North Carolina Health, Chapel Hill, NC.
Objective: tExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy for severe, reversible cardiopulmonary failure, but data regarding its use in pregnancy and the postpartum period are limited. We sought to quantify survival of pregnant and postpartum women necessitating ECMO in a contemporary cohort at a single tertiary institution.
Study Design: All women of reproductive age (14-44 years), who underwent ECMO at our institution between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2017, were identified using a query of hospital encounters for ECMO-related CPT codes.
