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 Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the most important support for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure. As the key component, the oxygenation membrane has suffered the risk of blood coagulation..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the paediatric population has increased over time, with the ability to rescue pulmonary and cardiovascular deterioration. ECMO can be utilised by..

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 Anticoagulation in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) presents unique challenges due to developmental hemostasis, coagulation factor production, and response to anticoagulants. This process requires close monitoring to prevent..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Patients who undergo extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) are at risk of left ventricular distention and complications. There is emerging evidence that concurrent mechanical left ventricular (LV) unloading (e.g...
