Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used as initial, biventricular circulatory support for patients with severe postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS). Due to its aggressiveness and limited weaning quote, concerns have been raised about maintenance of ECMO support regarding duration. However, it is frequently hazardous for physicians to make an individualized decision, whether and when discontinuation of ECMO support should be considered. We tried to find measurable values during ECMO support that could predict the patient mortality on ECMO support.
