To support this growth, a variety of staffing arrangements have been adopted depending on local need and availability of resources, both in terms of manpower and finances to safely meet the complex needs of the patient and circuit management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title><jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AIM<\/jats:styled-content><\/jats:title><jats:p>The aim of the survey was to describe current staffing arrangements of care provision for adult patients on VV\u2010ECMO, with a focus on understanding the professional roles and responsibilities of staff managing the circuit in order to inform further discussion around different approaches to staffing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title><jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">METHODS<\/jats:styled-content><\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a cross\u2010sectional international survey using an electronic questionnaire emailed to 177 worldwide ECMO centres treating adult patients with acute respiratory failure. The survey questions were generated through an internal and external iterative process and assessed for clarity, content and face validity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title><jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RESULTS<\/jats:styled-content><\/jats:title><jats:p>The response rate was 82%. Respondents managed extracorporeal oxygenation for adult respiratory alone (75%) or in combination with adult cardiac (67%), paediatric respiratory (62%) and paediatric cardiac (58%). The specialist nurse to patient ratio was 1:1 in 59% of centres, with 24\u2010h\/day presence in 74%. Overall, the specialist nurse provided the 24\u2010h\/day management of the circuit, including interventions.
