Abstract Background PPHN is a common cause of neonatal respiratory failure and is still a serious condition and associated with high mortality. Objectives To compare the demographic variables, clinical characteristics,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technology that can temporarily take over the functions of the heart and lungs. Acute kidney injury is a common issue in patients receiving..

Abstract Aims Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a life-saving procedure for supporting patients with cardiogenic shock after cardiac surgery. This work aimed to analyse the impact of changes in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate the duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its effect on outcomes. Also, we sought to identify hospital mortality predictors and..

Abstract Objective:  To characterize surface-bound proteins and to measure the thickness of fibrin fibers bound to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits used in children. Design:  Single-center observational prospective study, April..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is a rapidly expanding life-support technique worldwide. The most common indications are severe hypoxemia and/or hypercapnia, unresponsive to conventional treatments, primarily in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The efficacy and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare benefit and risk of ECMO..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Low pulse pressure (PP) in venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a marker of cardiac dysfunction and has been associated with acute brain injury (ABI) as continuous-flow centrifugal pump may..
