ECMO
Lucile Packard Children's Hospital has the highest volume ECMO program and the most experience in northern California. Since its inception in 1988, more than 300 infants have been treated with ECMO in our neonatal intensive care unit.
Five of our neonatologists are specially trained on ECMO and we consistently have excellent outcomes, meeting or exceeding national benchmarks. Through a unique collaboration among perinatologists, geneticists and pediatric cardiologists, we also offer fetal diagnosis and ECMO management.
