Complications during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation transfer in Argentina: A multicenter observational study
ECMO transfers in middle-income countries exhibit complication rates similar to those in high-income countries. Our study found fewer complications in transfers using integrated portable ECMO systems and those involving distances exceeding 100 km. These findings suggest that the use of portable ECMO systems, despite their higher costs, may be beneficial in reducing complications during patient transport in middle-income countries.
