Artificial intelligence-assisted echocardiographic monitoring in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPercutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is administered to pediatric patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Echocardiogram was performed for patients with ECMO, including at pre-ECMO, during cannulation, during ECMO support, during the ECMO wean, and a follow up within 3 months after weaning.
