Carotid cannulation remains common despite variability in pediatric patients' sizes and risks, showing influence of local expertise.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in children shows significant neurologic complications, varying from 7% to 23%, especially with carotid access.
Analysis of ELSO registry data points to a persistent preference for carotid over femoral access, despite associated limb ischemia risks.
The review calls for standardized practices in pediatric ECMO cannulation, emphasizing the importance of individual patient characteristics.
