Spirometry testing for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) bridge to transplant patients

Spirometry testing for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) bridge to transplant patients

Purpose: ECMO can provide a bridge to transplantation and improve survival for patients with advanced lung disease. Although pulmonary function testing (PFT) is an important component of the lung allocation score (LAS), it is not always feasible on patients requiring ECMO. While generally safe, PFT...
