About Us

Our Mission

The Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Research Network (PediECMO) is an international collaborative of health professionals dedicated to facilitating and performing basic science research, clinical research, and quality improvement research aimed at optimizing outcomes for critically ill children on ECMO.

Our Strategic Goal

To create a forum and virtual/physical meeting touchpoints that:

a) develop feasible research studies that integrate PALISI ECMO and the pediatric Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) research interest groups

b) foster a community forum and relationships for education and mentorship

c) develop philanthropy to fund and study important ECMO research questions for children with cardiac and/or respiratory failure.

Meetings

Our Meetings

Meetings are held semi-annually and typically held in conjunction with the Spring PALISI meeting and the Fall ELSO Conference
