Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is increasingly utilized in pediatric patients. Failure to recognize membrane oxygenator failure can lead to critical complications due to rapid deterioration of membrane oxygenator function. Therefore, identifying the predictors for membrane oxygenator exchange is crucial. However, risk factors for membrane oxygenator exchange in pediatric V-A ECMO remain unclear; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate these risk factors.
