O’Halloran et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (n=122). Clinical factors including bleeding, frequent laboratory draws, and younger age was evaluated on RBC volume exposure during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (mL/kg/d). Bleeding days (+22% per 10% increase), blood draws (+8% per day), and younger age (-9% per year) were significantly associated with larger RBC exposure during pediatric ECMO (P<0.001 for all).
