| Popis: | Worldwide figures suggest that two percent of appropriate referrals for neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation turn out to have previously covert congenital heart disease. This is despite the fact that expert cardiological evaluation is routine prior to cannulation. The experience in the United Kingdom includes such a case which is reported here. The implications for the role of pediatric cardiologists in such a service are considered. |
