Abstract Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common and potentially life-threatening complication of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It presents a significant haemodynamic challenge that is often difficult to manage..
Read More
Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in patients after cardiac surgery; however, anticoagulation management has consistently been challenging. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of a..
Read More
Abstract Background In refractory cardiac arrest, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation may increase the survival chance. However, in cases of unsuccessful treatment, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation may additionally provide an important source of organ donors...
