1. To review indications for neonatal and paediatric ECMO therapy 2. To illustrate the range of arterial and venous cannulae used in paediatric ECMO 3. To discuss the normal radiologic appearances during paediatric ECMO therapy 4. To illustrate some of the radiologic appearances arising from the complications of paediatric ECMO with examples from our institution  

ECMO (extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation) is a modified cardiopulmonary or pulmonary bypass therapy for neonates and children with cardio-respiratory or respiratory failure. The aims of this educational exhibit are to review current indications for ECMO therapy in children, to illustrate the range of cannula appearances and radiological position and to illustrate the range of complications encountered during ECMO therapy with imaging examples from our institution over a 22 year period. Background Review of indications Normal cannula position and appearance Imaging of Complications Role of Imaging Summary/Conclusions
