Summary
Brief summary
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a means of artificially performing the function
of the human lung and/or heart outside the body. Its use is escalating in a wide range of
clinical settings in the adult population without evidence or guidelines to support this
practice.

This study involves a nationwide questionnaire which has two components. The initial pilot
survey will attempt to identify all institutions currently practicing ECMO or those intending
to do so in the future, and are willing to participate in prospective data collection. The
second phase will involve a monthly survey of these centres regarding the extent of ECMO use,
practice details implemented, and outcome data.

It is hoped that the collection of this information will later assist in the development of
guidelines for this expensive and presently unsubstantiated practice, together with the
construction of appropriate training programs for staff.
