Abstract
We describe 2 pediatric patients with Ralstonia pickettii bacteremia associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. Investigation revealed a common environmental source--the ECMO temperature-control units. We created guidelines for disinfecting these units that do not void the manufacturer's warranty and have prevented additional cases of bacteremia due to this organism.Entities:
