Research is crucial to our mission. There are many unanswered questions in the field of ECMO that require careful scientific study. Your patients may be eligible for an ongoing research study. The patient's family would need to provide informed surrogate consent in order to participate in any of our studies.

NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia has established itself as a world-leader in the delivery of modern ECMO therapy and developed innovative approaches to cannulation, patient management, quality improvement and interfacility transport. Select publications include:
