Abstract: We aim to provide evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the use of VV ECMO in adult patients across Australia and New Zealand. Developed by a multidisciplinary panel of clinicians from both countries, alongside a methodologist and patient representatives, these guidelines were produced in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) 2016 standards for guidelines.
