Abstract
Venovenous ECMO is as reliable as VA ECMO in newborns with MAS in severe respiratory failure who need ECMO. Delay in ECMO initiation may result in prolonged mechanical ventilation and increased length of hospital stay. The emergence of new conventional therapies (NO, HFV, surfactant) and particularly increased experience enable sole use of VV ECMO with no significant change in survival in infants with MAS.
