Conversion from VV to VA or hybrid #ECMO configuration in patients treated for refractory respiratory failure developing refractory hypoxemia or hemodynamic compromise? Higher mortality/complications rate. Initial configuration selection pivotal!

Conversion from VV to VA or hybrid #ECMO, analysis of ELSO Registry including 29K adults
🫀 2.4% received a change from original configuration, 56.8% to VA, 43.2% to hybrid #ECLS
⚖️ increased clinical & circuit complications reported in converted patients; in-hospital mortality higher
