Diagnostic yield of routine daily blood culture in patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract Background Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are frequent on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Performing routine blood cultures (BCs) may identify early paucisymptomatic BSIs. We investigated the contribution of systematic daily BCs to detect BSIs on V-A ECMO. Metho...
