Abstract Objective To investigate the factors contributing to the "ECMO gap," the discrepancy between successful weaning from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and survival to hospital discharge, using different definitions..

Perfusfind S.L.

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..

Abstract While iterative developments have improved outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction, mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) remains stubbornly high. Several promising treatments have ultimately..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion that can quickly progress to multiorgan failure and death. Various devices and configurations..

Abstract Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a severe complication seen in patients with refractory septic shock, characterized by cardiac dysfunction due to an overwhelming inflammatory response secondary to infection. Despite its reversible..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Clinical evidence regarding predictors of successful weaning from mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is lacking. This study aimed to create a simple risk score to predict successful weaning from..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is a common treatment in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) but is associated with high..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Approximately 6000 intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States maintain extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) programs.1 Patients who require ECMO are among the most critically ill in the ICU...

Abstract PROFOUND HYPOTENSION AND end-organ hypoperfusion are most often the consequence of inadequate systemic blood flow from primary cardiac failure (cardiogenic shock) or hemorrhage (hemorrhagic shock). However, profound hypotension may..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) alongside venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in critically ill patients presenting refractory cardiogenic shock raises questions regarding its impact on organs perfusion...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) in patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and severe valvular abnormalities poses unique challenges to traditional mechanical circulatory support (MCS) strategies, such as intra-aortic balloon pumps..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study conducts an in-vitro experiment using a mock circulation system that mimics human circulation to assess the veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system. This study aims to compare the hemodynamic..

Introduction Profound hypotension and end-organ hypoperfusion is most often a consequence of inadequate systemic blood flow from primary cardiac failure (cardiogenic shock) or hemorrhage (hemorrhagic shock). However, profound hypotension may..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute poisoning may lead to life-threatening conditions that require advanced life support, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Data about the use of ECMO in intoxications and overdose are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Life Support (VA ECMO) is a critical intervention for patients with cardiogenic shock, serving as bridge to recovery, transplantation, or long-term therapies. The complexity of VA..
