Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has rapidly become the treatment of choice for critically ill newborns with reversible pulmonary disease not responding to conventional treatment. Since 1987 ECMO has been available at our hospital and up to December 1989 11 patients were treated. Several patient complications were seen. The aim of this study was to register the incidence and treatment of these complications and to compare our results with international ECMO experience. It is concluded that many of the complications seen during ECMO can be successfully managed.
