Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for tropical infections: a scoping review
As the use of ECMO expands globally, more patients with tropical infections may require ECMO in both endemic and non-endemic settings. We present a scoping review on the evidence base of ECMO use to support tropical infectious diseases, with data regarding feasibility in specific disease processes as well as clinical considerations for tropical diseases on the ECMO circuit.
