ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)
I want to know if the patient had received ECMO therapy. But I cannot find any table that contains this information. For example, "Treatment " table has no ECMO record. Only in "Nursecharting" table did I find one record of ECMO (shown in the picture).
But I think it is not possible that only one patient had received ECMO therapy. Are there any other tables that contain this information? Thank you!
I honestly do not know. A couple of reasons this may be the case:
- eICU-CRD ICUs tend to be slightly lower acuity and rural hospitals and may not be setup for ECMO.
- The hospitals that do have ECMO may not interface with eICU.
I got it! Thank you for your help!
