  1. The measurement at the end of extracorporeal support is separated in survivors and non-survivors (to discharge).
  2. Data are presented as median (interquartile range). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001 to pre ECMO. ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, LDH = lactic dehydrogenase, aPTT = activated partial thromboplastin time.
