Abstract
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is a well-established tool for treatment of cardio-pulmonary collapse. The use of large bore cannulas in the femoral vessels for an extended period of time has been associated with significant wound complications. There is a lack of data analyzing risk factors related to these complications. The primary purpose of this study was to identify modifiable risk factors to reduce wound complication after VA ECMO decannulation.
