What is the Prognosis for Children on VV ECMO?

The prognosis for children on VV ECMO depends on several factors, including the underlying cause of respiratory failure, the child’s pre-existing health conditions, and the duration of ECMO support. Advances in technology and improved clinical protocols have led to better survival rates and long-term outcomes. However, some children may experience long-term complications such as neurodevelopmental delays or chronic lung disease.
