Echocardiographic parameters for weaning from Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation – the role of longitudinal function and cardiac time intervals

Limited data exist on echocardiographic predictors of weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). We aimed to test the performance of different echocardiographic indices to predict weaning from V-A ECMO. and free survival after weaning.
