Read MoreAbstract Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an intervention used for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from COVID-19 who have failed conventional ventilatory strategies. Very few studies have given..
Read MoreAbstract Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) confers significant in-hospital mortality despite implementation of evidence-based ventilatory strategies. Acute right ventricular (RV) injury characterized by abnormal RV and pulmonary vascular biomechanics is..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V–V ECMO) has an established evidence base in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has seen exponential growth in its use over the past decades...
Read MoreIntroduction In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), mechanical ventilation can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) through multiple mecha-nisms, including volutrauma, barotrauma, atelectrauma,myotrauma, and biotrauma [1]. In the most..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Pneumothorax is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We sought to examine the outcomes of patients who are supported on veno-venous extracorporeal..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: To compare complications and mortality between patients that required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 viral pathogens. DESIGN: ..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Obesity is associated with a worse prognosis in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Veno-venous (V-V) Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) can be a rescue option, however, the..
Read MoreAbstract A growing body of evidence supports the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) refractory to maximal medical therapy. ARDS may develop in..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of mechanical life support that provides full respiratory bypass in patients with severe respiratory failure as a bridge to recovery..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Assessment of the results of the ProtekDuo cannula applied for dedicated right ventricular support with oxygenator in ARDS secondary to COVID-19. Methods: Systematic literature search in NHS library,..
Read MoreAbstract Background To inform future research and practice, we aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 20-year-old patient with no relevant medical history, who was admitted to the emergency room with severe polytrauma after hitting a stationary car whilst on his..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To determine in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) whether reducing driving pressure (ΔP) would decrease plasma biomarkers of inflammation..
Read MoreAbstract Rational. Long-term outcomes of patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are unknown. Methods. Multicenter, prospective study in patients who received ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Prone positioning and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are both useful interventions in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Combining the two therapies is feasible and safe, but the..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Assessment of the results of the ProtekDuo cannula applied for dedicated right ventricular support with oxygenator in ARDS secondary to COVID-19. Methods: Systematic literature search in NHS library,..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Ultra‑lung‑protective ventilation may be useful during veno‑venous extracorporeal membraneoxygenation (vv‑ECMO) for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to minimize ventilator‑induced lunginjury and to facilitate lung recovery. The objective..
Read MoreAbstract Background In patients receiving venovenous (VV) (ECMO) packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion thresholds are usually higher than in other patients who are critically ill. Available guidelines suggest a restrictive..
Read MoreAbstract Right ventricular injury (RVI) in the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is well recognized as an important determinant risk factor of mortality. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO)..
