Nighttime/Weekend Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation Is Not Associated With Increased 1-Year Mortality for Non-Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Indications
Authors' conclusion
We conclude that nighttime and weekend VA-ECMO cannulations can be performed safely at a large academic medical center.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
1-year mortality
- Nighttime/weekend cannulation not associated with increased 1-year mortality (64.2% vs 60.1%)
- Nighttime/weekend vs Daytime: P = 0.42
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings

| Use of RRT | P = 0.49 |
Use of RRT
- Nighttime/weekend cannulation not associated with increased RRT use (25.4% vs 22.2%)
