Complications and mortality of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the treatment of neonatal respiratory failure: A systematic review and metaanalysis

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used for severe neonatal respiratory failure refractory to conventional treatments. To systematically evaluate the complications and mortality of venovenous ECMO (VV ECMO) in the treatment of neonatal respiratory failure, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all the related studies.
