Physiology-guided management of patients with severe hypoxemia ineligible for ECMO: a multidisciplinary lung rescue team approach
Abstract Not all patients with refractory hypoxemia meet ECMO criteria — yet many still face catastrophic oxygenation failure with limited options. This study describes a physiology-guided “Lung Rescue Team (LRT)” model, designed to evaluate patients who are ineligible or borderline for ECMO by integrating mechanical ventilation physiology, multimodal imaging, hemodynamics, gas exchange, and lung recruitability […]
