Implication

IABP use in pediatrics remains size-restricted; review leaves open comparative efficacy data versus ECMO or VAD.

Structured PICO

Population

Neonates and children with severe refractory cardiac and/or pulmonary failure, including those with structural congenital heart disease, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and functionally univentricular circulation.

Intervention

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS), primarily extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist devices (VAD).

ECMO remains the mainstay of mechanical circulatory support in children with complex anatomy and severe heart failure, with expanding indications such as extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).
