Aims: To identify clinical and biochemical markers associated with nutrition adequacy and gastrointestinal and liver dysfunction in adults on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Methods: A retrospective, observational, study was conducted at 2 centres in Australia. Adult patients who received ECMO from July 2011 to June 2015 were included. Mode of ECMO used, fluid balance, number of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria present, vasoactive‐inotropic scores (VIS) and liver function tests (LFTs) were collected for the duration of ECMO until 7 days after ECMO cessation. Multiple regression models were used to determine if the collected variables were associated with nutrition adequacy. The mean LFTs during ECMO were also compared to mean LFTs post ECMO cessation.
