title: Video fluoroscopy swallow study and nutritional support during ambulatory venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation.
abstract: We present the successful completion of a video fluoroscopy swallow study and subsequent nutritional plan of a child bridged to lung transplantation with ambulatory venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). With a limited number of programs bridging pediatric patients to lung transplantation with VV ECMO, a better understanding of nutritional support is needed to provide optimal care to this patient population awaiting organ donation.
