Anyone have a good resource that explains the change in pharmacotherapy that comes with putting a kid on ECMO?
Enjoying the summer internship, and I'm definitely getting exposed to a lot of different patients. I found a few articles that address the topic, but if anyone could recommend a good general overview, I'd appreciate it.
The clinical pharmacist I'm working with has said so far that (for an infant) it's almost like doubling the volume of distribution, but there's less clearance. Essentially you need higher dosing at less frequent intervals.
