PRO Building solid evidence in intensive care medicine is challenging, mostly due to patient heterogeneity and concomitant treatment interactions. In the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), only two..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract During veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO), blood is drained from the central venous circulation to be oxygenated and decarbonated by an artificial lung. It is then reinfused into..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has become a standard of care for severe cardiogenic shock, refractory cardiac arrest and related impending multiorgan failure. The widespread clinical use of..

Abstract Introduction Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) improves end-organ perfusion in cardiogenic shock but may increase afterload, which can limit cardiac recovery. Left ventricular (LV) unloading strategies may aid..

Abstract Limb ischaemia is a clinically relevant complication of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) with femoral artery cannulation. No selective distal perfusion or other advanced techniques were used in..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulas inserted through the femoral vein can stray into the ascending lumbar vein. No case has been reported in which the cannula has penetrated the..

Abstract Introduction Targeted temperature management (TTM) is considered to be a neuroprotective strategy during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) assisted procedures, possibly through the activation of cold shock proteins. We therefore investigated..

Abstract Unfractionated heparin, administered during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to prevent thromboembolic events, largely depends on plasma antithrombin for its antithrombotic effects. Decreased heparin responsiveness seems frequent on extracorporeal membrane..
