The field of extracorporeal support is moving forward rapidly. New technology, improved experience with a variety of patients, and successful outcomes in groups previously excluded from extracorporeal life support are increasing the use of this technique in patient support. Although initial reports of outcome are encouraging, they are often taken from single-center reports or large databases without specific detail to answer many of the relevant questions or for eras that do not reflect the effects of new technology. Collaboration between investigators, rigorous scientific data collection and analysis, and careful short- and long-term outcomes for patients receiving extracorporeal life support are imperative to avoid improper use of this high-resource, high-cost technology and to establish the efficacy of new devices and techniques. Bleeding and thrombosis remain devastating complications and efforts to reduce complications and improve anticoagulation regimens or eliminate the need for anticoagulation would be of major benefit to the field.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 September 2013.
All research outputs
#22,693,701
of 27,780,120 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
#3,605
of 4,537 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#163,813
of 212,790 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
#43
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,780,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,537 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 212,790 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
