Incidence of general surgical procedures in adult patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Journal Title: Journal of the Intensive Care Society - Year 2019, Vol 20, Issue 2

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use may predispose patients to developing conditions that require either consultation with a general surgeon or a general surgical procedure. We aimed to evaluate the incidence and outcomes of adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients who underwent general surgical procedure.
