Abstract Background Veno-arterial (V-A) and veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are crucial support modalities during lung transplantation, yet their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. Methods We conducted an 8-year retrospective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to support neonates and children with cardiopulmonary failure was first described in the 1970s, since which time its use has expanded to an increasingly complex..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a modality of extracorporeal life support which allows temporary support in cases of cardiopulmonary failure and cardiogenic shock. This study presents a valveless pump..

Abstract The clinical tolerance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) membrane changes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients under veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO) has not been reported. The aim of this..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been primarily used for respiratory and circulatory failure, but its airway-related use has not been investigated well. Tracheal procedures are a situation when ECMO..

Abstract Objective To describe the six-month functional outcomes of patients who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in Australia. Design Secondary analysis of EXCEL registry data...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective We aimed to outline the experience with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory and cardiac failure in neonates in our institution and compare our results with those from..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Children who undergo cardiac surgery may require postcardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Although morbidities are considerable, our understanding of outcome determinants is limited. We evaluated associations between patient..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in cardiac surgery is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Beside other therapeutic measures (e.g. intraaortic balloon pump (IABP)), extracorporeal life..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with fewer neurological complications and decreased mortality compared to veno-arterial (VA) ECMO in neonatal respiratory failure. The Crescent right atrial (RA)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Mortality remains elevated during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock and the role of inflammation is uncertain. By using the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), we investigated inflammatory..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can support patients with severe cardiorespiratory failure presenting with hypoxia who would otherwise have not survived. Patient selection for ECMO is challenging and relies on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute lung injury and acute respiratory failure are frequent complications of cardiogenic shock and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Even with increased use of temporary mechanical..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Severe accidental hypothermia can lead to cardiac arrest. The most efficient method of resuscitating and warming is by ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). While the convention is to use VA..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Over the past two decades, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used to support critical patients with cardiac and respiratory failure who fail to respond to conventional management...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgery patients are potentially exposed to an acute inflammatory host response with a huge release of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines both through intrinsic (e.g., tissue damage, endothelial..
