Does Plasma Free Hemoglobin > 50 mg/dL checked 24-hours post ECMO implantation predict mortality in patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation support?
Routine checking of PFHb 24-hours after ECMO initiation is proposed for early identification and treatment of hemolysis to predict mortality.
PFHb > 50 mg/dL checked 24-hour post ECMO implantation is a useful tool to predict mortality. We propose the routine checking of PFHb 24-hours after ECMO initiation for early identification and treatment of the cause of hemolysis.
