Blood Protection Method: Retrograde Autologous Prime   In order to carry out open heart surgery, the functions of the heart and lungs must be stopped and the blood inside the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute kidney injury (AKI) treated by kidney replacement therapy may also require treatment with extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices to permit..

Abstract Objectives:  Children receiving prolonged extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support may benefit from tracheostomy during ECMO by facilitating rehabilitation; however, the procedure carries risks, especially hemorrhagic complications. Knowledge of tracheostomy practices and outcomes of..
