Description
Giuseppe Neri and a large team review, in a 2026 review, how safely invasive procedures can be done while adults are supported by ECMO. The machine oxygenates blood outside the body. These very ill patients often need surgery or bedside procedures, yet the blood thinning ECMO requires raises both bleeding and clotting dangers.
Forty-six studies met the criteria, grouped into six procedure families from airway work to major abdominal and chest surgery. Airway and scope procedures generally succeeded in chosen patients, though registry data showed bleeding in about a quarter of tracheal cases. Emergency chest and abdominal operations carried the heaviest burden of bleeding, transfusion, and death. The authors urge procedure-specific planning with blood-thinning management matched to each patient.
