Evaluating factors associated with the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in major trauma – an analysis of the TraumaRegister DGU®
In the TraumaRegister DGU<sup>®</sup>, ECMO for trauma related organ failure remains rare. Among ECMO patients, good functional outcome was observed infrequently. However, the design of the registry did not allow for capturing granular data on ECMO management and timing of organ failure. Hence, outcome data should be interpreted with caution. Nevertheless, evaluation of factors associated with ECMO support after trauma might contribute to early identification of ECMO candidates and improve patient distribution for trauma centers without ECMO capability.
