Abstract Objective The use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been suggested to unload the left ventricle while on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock (CS), leading..
Read More
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) traditionally has been used under deep sedation and mechanical ventilation. However, recent advancements have led to the development of awake ECMO strategies, allowing patients to..
