Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulae-related Infection: Diagnostic Difficulties and Potential Prevention.

We read with interest the recently-published article by Winiszewski et al.1 detailing the prevalence and risk factors associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulae-related infections (CRIs). Winiszewski highlights a number of pertinent issues related to cannulae infections which, we believe, require further investigation to reduce CRI and improve our patients’ outcomes.
