ECMO specialist’ challenges towards acquired infections during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: An international qualitative ECMO infection study
The findings show that acquired infections in ECMO patients are a serious challenge requiring patient-centered and team-based care. Clearer clinical guidelines are needed for infection detection and prevention. Focusing on prevention, continuous education, and enhancing teamwork can improve treatment outcomes. Strengthening scientific evidence is also essential for clinical decision-making.
