This questionnaire study was designed to determine how consultant paediatricians perceived the value of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). A significant number believed that the survival of infants with MAS who received ECMO was lower than reported. Early discussion with an ECMO centre will ensure appropriate timing of referral.
Keywords: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; meconium aspiration syndrome
Abbreviations: MAS, meconium aspiration syndrome; ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; iNO, inhaled nitric oxide; OI, oxygenation index; VVDL ECMO, venovenous ECMO where the right internal jugular vein is cannulated with a double lumen cannula
