WeiterlesenAbstract We read with great interest the article by Zhang and colleagues : a single-center experience showing that although 48.8% of all extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients are successfully decannulated..
WeiterlesenAbstract Bedside ultrasound represents a well-suited diagnostic and monitoring tool for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) who may be too unstable for transport to other hospital areas for diagnostic..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background Reliable predictors of outcomes in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy are limited. While elevated lactate levels over time have been linked to outcomes in cardiogenic shock (CS),..
WeiterlesenAbstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) shunts venous blood to the systemic arterial circulation to provide end-organ perfusion while increasing afterload that may impede left ventricle (LV) ejection and impair..
WeiterlesenAbstract OBJECTIVE: To examine characteristics associated with formal ethics consultation (EC) referral in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cases, and document ethical issues presented. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using mixed..
WeiterlesenAbstract Purpose: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) can be used to support severely ill patients with cardiogenic shock. While age is commonly used in patient selection, little is known..
WeiterlesenAbstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a powerful hemodynamic support strategy for patients with cardiogenic shock and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Given that significant proportions of patients presenting with..
WeiterlesenAbstract Continuous negative abdominal pressure (CNAP) therapy effectively provides respiratory support in patients with respiratory failure and severe obesity; however, its use in clinical practice remains limited. In this case,..
WeiterlesenAbstract Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging approach to cardiac arrest. We present two contrasting cases from a high-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center (defined as greater than 30..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) not only significantly improves survival rates in severely ill neonates but also is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental issues. To systematically review the available literature..
WeiterlesenAbstract Patients requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) post-Norwood operation constitute an extremely high-risk group. We retrospectively described short-term outcomes, functional status, and assessed risk factors for requiring ECLS post-Norwood operation..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background The utilization of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for intraoperative support during lung transplantation has increased over the past decade. Although veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has recently emerged..
WeiterlesenAbstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to support patients with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, and acute respiratory distress syndrome is rising worldwide.1 While ECMO may save the lives of..
WeiterlesenAbstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is increasingly used to treat refractory cardiogenic shock, despite randomized clinical trials reporting no difference in outcomes., Although traditional ECMO pumps maintain a constant flow..
WeiterlesenAbstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a critical clinical syndrome characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery resulting from severe heart dysfunction, leading to multi-organ failure. Diagnostic criteria include hypoperfusion..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background Bleeding and thrombotic complications compromise outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS) with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and/or microaxial flow pumps like the Impella™...
WeiterlesenAbstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can be considered in selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest. Given the risk of patient futility and high resource utilisation, identifying ECPR candidates, who..
WeiterlesenAbstract Objectives: To describe clinical characteristics, mechanical ventilation strategies, and outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during weaning from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). Design: Retrospective, multicenter cohort..
WeiterlesenAbstract Rationale: Blood flow rate affects mixed venous oxygenation (SvO2) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), with possible effects on the pulmonary circulation and the right heart function. Objectives: We..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a cardiopulmonary bypass device that provides life-saving complete respiratory and cardiac support in patients with cardiorespiratory failure. The majority of drugs prescribed to..
WeiterlesenAbstract A 53 year old female was referred to our quaternary center for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) retrieval. Following a brief admission for a cosmetic procedure, she had represented..
WeiterlesenAbstract Objectives: Extracorporeal life support can lead to rapid reversal of hypoxemia but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation targets in severely ill patients are unclear. Our primary objective..
WeiterlesenAbstract Despite the frequent use of prophylactic antibiotics in hospitals for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Infectious Disease Task Force does not recommend routine..
WeiterlesenAbstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a vital therapy offering a lifeline to critically ill patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. Its life-saving potential is undeniable, with survival..
