Abstract
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) had been successfully used in neonatal respiratory failure, but cardiac ECLS has been used increasingly in recent years. The purpose of this study was to review our experience in pediatric patients supported by ECLS for postoperative circulatory failure and to analyze the factors associated with mortality. Between January 1999 and December 2004, 68 pediatric patients (vs.Keywords
