Abstract

BACKGROUND: Venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) undoubtedly saves many lives, but it is associated with a high degree of patient morbidity, mortality, and resource use. This study aimed to develop a machine learning algorithm to augment clinical decision making related to VA-ECMO.
