39 Successful ECLS Bridge to LTx 1. Patient Selection 2. Avoid prolonged mechanical ventilation pre- ECLS 3. Provide appropriate pump support 4. Avoid groin cannulation if possible 5. Ambulatory and non intubated preferred (but avoid lung de-recruitment) 6. Nutritional support, consider early tracheostomy 7. Need an engaged AND persistent multidisciplinary team
