Abstract
The use of ultrasound in children with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a non-invasive method for pulmonary monitoring, as well as to check the position of cannulas, and the precise measurement of haemodynamic variables. It is a vital tool in multimodal monitoring, and can be performed during admission, evolution and weaning of the child with ECMO, admitted to a paediatric intensive care unit.In this article, we describe findings of lung ultrasound, the position of the ECMO cannula in the inferior vena cava, and the most important haemodynamic parameters that can be obtained with transthoracic echocardiography in critically ill children with ECMO.
