Abstract This study investigates the prevalence and risk factors associated with venous thrombotic events in patients receiving (ECMO) support. Systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies. PubMed, Cochrane..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  Patients maintained on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often require systemic anticoagulation to prevent circuit clotting and systemic thromboembolic complications. The optimal intensity of anticoagulation to balance the risk..

Abstract Background/Objectives: This study evaluated the hemostatic performance and safety of ActiClot (ATC), a new flowable hemostatic agent, through in vivo tests.  Methods: ATC was compared with the commercially available..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a critical intervention for patients with severe lung failure, especially acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The weaning process from ECMO relies largely..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction In children requiring venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for long durations, conversion to venovenous (VV) support may be advantageous. The purpose of this study was to evaluate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Summary Cardiogenic shock is a complex syndrome defined by systemic hypoperfusion and inadequate cardiac output arising from a wide array of underlying causes. Although the understanding of cardiogenic shock..

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) serves as a lifesaving intervention for patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest. With its expanding usage, there’s a burgeoning focus on improving patient outcomes through..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract IMPORTANCE:  “Awake” cannulation for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), where patients remain spontaneously breathing without invasive mechanical ventilation during the cannulation procedure, may reduce lung injury from positive pressure..
