Timing of ECMO initiation |
Failure to improve after maximizing conventional ventilation | 13.1% | 25.0% | 12.2% | 7.1% | 37.5% |
Failure to improve after APRV/bilevel | 23.1% | 0.0% | 23.7% | 33.3% | 0.0% |
Failure to improve after addition of prone, NO, Epo, steroids and/or surfactant | 16.6% | 25.0% | 16.0% | 16.7% | 25.0% |
Hypoxic respiratory failure worsening but prior to maximal therapy being reached | 28.6% | 50.0% | 26.7% | 28.6% | 12.5% |
I never consider ECMO | 10.6% | 0.0% | 12.2% | 11.9% | 0.0% |
I do not know | 8.0% | 0.0% | 9.2% | 2.4% | 25.0% |
