Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite decades of progress in ventilatory support. Mechanical ventilation, while essential for oxygenation, may exacerbate lung..

Abstract Background: Prone positioning improves survival in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by reducing ventilator-induced lung injury and enhancing ventilation–perfusion matching. Whether these physiological benefits translate to patients..

Abstract Background Separation from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a pivotal transition for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Impaired alveolar ventilation more so than oxygenation may be..

Abstract Decisions regarding veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are often based solely on clinical and physiological parameters, which may insufficiently reflect severity..

Abstract To investigate the feasibility of regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) monitoring for preventing acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in infants undergoing ventricular..

Abstract Purpose To assess whether prone positioning (PP) increases bleeding risk compared to supine positioning in ARDS patients undergoing veno venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV ECMO). Materials and Methods A..

Abstract 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...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Whether an anticoagulation strategy combining bivalirudin and aspirin during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) would prolong oxygenator use is unknown. No clear data exist on oxygenator life span during prolonged..
