Abstract The storing of dry-assembled and primed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits is common practice and endorsed by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) for up to 30 days. We..
Lire la suiteAbstract Introduction & aim Intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) increase postoperative complications, which are devastating to patients and costly to healthcare systems. To optimise patient outcomes, the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist (WHO..
Lire la suiteAbstract Objectives To summarize evidence regarding intravenous angiotensin II administration in critical illness and provide an updated understanding of its effects on various organ dysfunction and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) biomarkers...
Lire la suiteAbstract Objective The use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been suggested to unload the left ventricle while on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock (CS), leading..
Lire la suiteAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) traditionally has been used under deep sedation and mechanical ventilation. However, recent advancements have led to the development of awake ECMO strategies, allowing patients to..
Lire la suiteAbstract Introduction: In life-threatening conditions like severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), rescue interventions like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be initiated urgently to resolve an otherwise potentially adverse clinical outcome...

Lire la suiteAbstract Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is driving the increase in deceased organ donors in the United States. Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and ex situ machine perfusion (es-MP) have been..
Lire la suiteAbstract In neonates with pulmonary hypertension (PH) supported on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), keeping the ductus arteriosus (DA) open ensures a high cardiac output of well-oxygenated blood through the..
Lire la suiteAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is the most commonly used mode of support in pre-lung transplant recipients. In patients who experience right ventricular dysfunction, venopulmonary ECMO is an excellent option..
Lire la suiteAbstract Objectives: Previous studies have shown that inaccurate peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings compared with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) may occur in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. We hypothesized that..
Lire la suiteAbstract Purpose: The Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) poses a significant obstetric challenge, often leading to life-threatening hemorrhage during delivery. Intraoperative Cell Salvage (IOCS) is a promising but insufficiently studied blood conservation..
Lire la suiteAbstract The operating room is often viewed as a high-stakes, technical, and intensely specialized environment. While clinical precision and technological advancements have greatly improved surgical outcomes, one critical element remains..
Lire la suiteAbstract Protamine is widely used after catheter ablation to achieve hemostasis. Anaphylaxis to protamine is a rare but severe complication. A 49-year-old male patient underwent catheter ablation of symptomatic long-standing..
Lire la suiteAbstract Introduction Cardiac arrest in the emergency department (ED) is a rare event. Prior studies have used dedicated cardiac arrest registries, but few have leveraged “big data” from electronic healthcare..
Lire la suiteAbstract We established a compact machine perfusion system for whole blood perfusion of rat liver by making use of oxygenation filters as an artificial lung. Livers removed from rats were..
Lire la suiteAbstract Rationale: Randomised clinical trials in intensive care often prioritize disease-focused outcomes rather than patient-centred outcomes. Objective: To report and evaluate the ‘Daily Organ Support for patients on extracorporeal membrane..
Lire la suiteAbstract Oxygen is crucial for mitochondrial energy production in neurons and is efficiently stored and transported within the hydrophobic core of phospholipid bilayers. Using a diffusive model derived from molecular..
Lire la suiteAbstract Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) use to support patients in cardiac failure is increasing. Despite this increased use, predicting successful weaning from ECMO can be challenging, no..
Lire la suiteAbstract Introduction Congenital cardiac defects disrupt circulation and oxygenation due to structural changes in the heart. Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease, accounting for 5..
Lire la suiteAbstract Objective Cardiac arrest happens in 0.7%-5.2% patients after cardiovascular surgery, and cases with asystole or severe bradycardia need timely temporary pacing. However, routine temporary pacing wire insertion in cardiopulmonary..
Lire la suiteAbstract Purpose Neonates undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at a high risk of a systemic inflammatory response leading to cardiac, respiratory, and renal dysfunction due to their small body size..
Lire la suiteAbstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the operational feasibility of a self-designed minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation integrated circuit (miECC) type IV system and to assess the effectiveness of the..
Lire la suiteAbstract Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used. Previous methods to reduce inflammation have shown inconsistent results. We developed a cytokine adsorption column using polymethyl methacrylate..
