Abstract We investigated echocardiographic and hemodynamic effects of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) in 26 patients with cardiogenic shock on veno-arterial membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Our study demonstrated an 8.1% increase..

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for nosocomial infection in patients undergoing..

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..

Abstract A novel simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) course for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation—Introduction to ECMO Cannulation—was developed and tested at the Division of Cardiac Surgery at McMaster University in..

Abstract Poor or worsening functional status of lung transplant (LTx) candidates is a key risk factor for waitlist and post-transplant mortality. As more critically ill adults and children are listed..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of life support for critically ill patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. Interactions between patient blood and ECMO biomaterials increase the..

Abstract In-hospital mortality after venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remains high. This study compared the performance of the Survival after Venoarterial ECMO (SAVE) score with machine learning (ML) models incorporating..

Abstract Objective To review and compare the frequency of thrombus and adverse events in patients treated with heparin or bivalirudin systemic anticoagulation strategies supported on combined venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Veno‑venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‑ECMO) is associated with a high transfusion burden. While trials have concluded that red blood cell (RBC) storage does not impact patient morbidity and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract There are conflicting clinical data on whether the use of a distal perfusion catheter (DPC) is beneficial for reducing the risk of limb ischemia in peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane..

Abstract Purpose The evidence supporting the benefit on clinical outcomes of prone positioning during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure remains inconclusive. We aimed to..

Abstract The storing of dry-assembled and primed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits is common practice and endorsed by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) for up to 30 days. We..

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..

Perfusfind S.L.

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..

Abstract Introduction: In life-threatening conditions like severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), rescue interventions like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be initiated urgently to resolve an otherwise potentially adverse clinical outcome...

Abstract In neonates with pulmonary hypertension (PH) supported on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), keeping the ductus arteriosus (DA) open ensures a high cardiac output of well-oxygenated blood through the..

Abstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is the most commonly used mode of support in pre-lung transplant recipients. In patients who experience right ventricular dysfunction, venopulmonary ECMO is an excellent option..
