Impact of Prophylactic Antibiotics on Bloodstream Infections After Liberation From Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Summary

The goal of this prospective interventional study is to evaluate the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on bloodstream infections after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. The main questions aims to answer are: • does application of vancomycine prior to ECMO liberation have an impact of bloodstream infections? Participants will get 1 dose of vancomycine I.V. (15-20 mg per kgKG) prior to liberation of ECMO. Researchers will compare this interventional group to a group without antibiotic prophylaxis.
