Implementing Nurse Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Specialists to Maintain a Sustainable Program
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers hope for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome when other treatment methods fail. However, ECMO requires continuous hourly management leading to extremely high operating costs...
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in cardiac surgery is performed under systemic heparinization. Adequacy of heparin therapy and anticoagulation during ECC is assessed by activated clotting time (ACT), although there..

Abstract Prolonged mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for severe left ventricular dysfunction in cardiogenic shock as a bridge to heart transplantation (HTx) generally requires a surgical procedure. Typically, a surgically implanted..
Read MoreAbstract The increasing prevalence of chronic lung disease worldwide, combined with the emergence of multiple pandemics arising from respiratory viruses over the past century, highlights the need for safer and..
Read MoreAbstract Advancements in cardiac arrest and post-cardiac arrest care have led to improved survival to hospital discharge. While survival to hospital discharge is an important clinical outcome, neurologic recovery is..

Read MoreAbstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides cardiovascular and respiratory support for patients in cardiogenic shock; yet, complications are a frequent source of morbidity and mortality. Limb ischemia can be..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Clot formation, infection, and biofouling are unfortunate but frequent complications associated with the use of blood-contacting medical devices. The challenge of blood-foreign surface interactions is exacerbated during medical..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The mortality rate for a patient with a refractory cardiogenic shock on venoarterial (VA) extracorporealmembrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains high, and hyperoxia might worsen this prognosis. The objective of..
Read MoreAbstract Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) has contributed to increasing donor numbers all over the world. Experiences published in the last years confirm that the outcomes after lung transplantation..
Read MoreDOES18 Las Vegas — Burnout is a hot topic in today's workplace, given its high costs for both employees and organizations. What causes this problem? And what can be..
Read MoreAbstract Heart Pumps: A Life-Extending Option for Thousands Historically, many advanced heart failure patients who don't qualify for a heart transplant rely on medication or are referred to palliative care..
Read MoreAbstract The optimal setting to achieve a suitable PaCO2 value of 35–45 mmHg upon initiating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the pediatric population is undefined in the literature. Sweep gas is set..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) was introduced in 1977 to control arterial CO2 tension and reduce ven- tilation, thus allowing lung rest in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Its..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVE: Patient selection for pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support has broadened over the years to include children with pre-existing neurologic morbidities. We aimed to determine the prevalence and..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has been used to treat severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome; however, patient selection criteria have evolved throughout the pandemic...

Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving support for respiratory and cardiovascular failure. However, ECMO induces a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that can lead to various complications, including endothelial..
Read MoreAbstract Heart transplantation results in complete denervation of the donor heart with loss of afferent and efferent nerve connections. The majority of patients remain completely denervated during the first 6–12..
Read MoreAbstract Exchanging circuits in patients undergoing extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for component failure can be a life-threatening endeavor if the patient has no native organ function and is fully dependent..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Colloid oncotic pressure (COP) is an important factor in cardiac surgery, owing to its role in haemodilution. The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass prime fluids on the COP..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal hemoadsorption with the CytoSorb adsorber is increasingly being used during the past years. The use in combination with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is feasible, but frequency of its use and..
