Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Survival to hospital discharge or 30 days after VA-ECMO initiation. This will be assessed using the medical records and from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons (ANZCTS) database.[Discharge or 30 days after VA-ECMO initiation.];Proportion of patients with successful decannulation (i.e. the ability to remove ECMO cannulae at least once). This will be assessed using the medical records and from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons (ANZCTS) database.[Discharge or 30 days after VA-ECMO initiation.];Proportion of patients with pooled major complications within 30 days of ECMO initiation: cannulation site bleeding, limb ischaemia, retroperitoneal haematoma, inadequate oxygenation, transfusion of four or more red blood cells, return to theatre. These will be assessed using the medical records and from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons (ANZCTS) database.[Discharge or 30 days after VA-ECMO initiation. ]
