Brief summary

What are the rates of foot and lower limb complications following the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a major Australian tertiary hospital? Our null hypothesis is that the incidence of foot and lower limb complications in patients undergoing ECMO treatment are not different to those reported in the general inpatient population.

Interventions

Patients receiving Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory and/or cardiovascular failure. Observing neurovascular status, medications, offloading/pressure relieving stratergies used, foot ulceration/amputation, acute and chronic co-morbidies pre, peri and post (30 days) ECMO intervention. This data is collected via retrospective chart audit for patients receiving intervention between 01/01/2008-31/12/2012.
