ABSTRACT=The use of ECMO has increased over recent years providing respiratory and cardiac support.  Optimal cannula placement is essential for succesful patient outcomes.

This article discusses cannulation technique focusing on the cannulation of paediatric and neonatal patients for cardiac support on ECMO.
