State and Regional Variation in Access to Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is only available in specialized medical centers. We conducted a geospatial analysis and found state- and region-level variation in the supply of ECMO centers and the number of children who had access to ECMO. These findings may help target areas for the development of new ECMO programs.
