Infections during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis and prevention

•ECMO patients have a higher infectious risk than other critically ill patients.•Infections during the ECMO run significantly affect mortality rates.•Colonisation of ECMO cannulae and oxygenator could have a role in causing bloodstream infections.•Enterobacteriaceae are the most frequent agents of v...
