El momento de la reparación de la HDC en ECMO influye en el riesgo de hemorragia quirúrgica

This is a retrospective study conducted at Boston Children's Hospital comparing postoperative bleeding in CDH patients on ECMO repaired early versus late.

The study included 146 patients total: 102 repaired early and 44 repaired late.

Patients repaired late had an odds ratio of 11.7 times greater risk for postoperative bleeding compared to early repair.

Patients repaired early had much shorter ECMO runs.

If you have a CDH patient on ECMO, it appears better to repair early.
