Read MoreAbstract Clinical presentation and mortality of patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) were different during the French epidemic waves. The management of..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: The ProtekDuo with oxygenator mimics veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in veno-pulmonary (V-P) configuration. We have recently developed a new configuration by utilizing a 25 Fr multistage femoral..
Read MoreAbstract There is a subset of patients who develop severe ARDS for whom supportive care with mechanical ventilation is insufficient or possibly injurious. The use of ECMO as an adjunct..
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: Despite increasing use and promising outcomes, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) introduces the risk of a number of complications across the spectrum of ECMO care. This narrative review describes..
Read MoreAbstract We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients under mechanical ventilation with COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A systematic..
Read MoreAbstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been associated with the significant use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VVECMO) globally. Identifying strategies to optimize care is essential to improving..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has been used to treat severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome; however, patient selection criteria have evolved throughout the pandemic...
Read MoreAbstract In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung imaging is a fundamental tool in the study of the morphological and mechanistic features of the lungs. Chest computed..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used for patients with severe respiratory failure and has received particular attention during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Evidence from two..
Read MoreAbstract Background Severe COVID-19 induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) often requires extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Recent German health insurance data revealed low ICU survival rates. Patient characteristics and experience..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is indicated in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and severely impaired gas exchange despite evidence-based lung protective ventilation, prone positioning and other parts of..
Read MoreAbstract Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) accounts for 10% of ICU admissions and affects 3 million patients each year. Despite decades of research, it is still associated with one of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) therapy for respiratory failure is an increasingly popular modality of support. Patient selection is an important aspect of outcome success. This review assesses the..
Read MoreAbstract The outcome of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) treated in ICUs is unsatisfying (). Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) can serve as a rescue strategy when patients deteriorate during..
Read MoreAbstract Perfluorocarbons are oxygen-carrying, dense liquids initially intended for the use in partial or total liquid ventilation of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome but which did not show beneficial effects in clinical studies...
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used extensively for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Reports early in the pandemic suggested that mortality in patients..
Read MoreAbstract We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of post‑traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)in young patients with and without Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. A retrospective analysis was conducted for..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The benefit of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for patients with severe acute respiratory distress from coronavirus disease 2019 refractory to medical management and lung-protective mechanical ventilation has not been..
Read MoreAbstract Background A retrospective analysis of SUPERNOVA trial data showed that reductions in tidal volume to ultraprotective levels without significant increases in arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) for..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) may be used in the setting of pregnancy or the peripartal period, however its utility has not been well-characterized. This study aims to give..
Read MoreAbstract Refractory hypoxemia despite the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–related acute respiratory distress syndrome remains a challenging problem. A single ECMO circuit may not..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with COVID-19 has been supported by major healthcare organizations, yet the role of specific management strategies during ECMO requires..
Read MoreAbstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased the demand for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and introduced distinct challenges to patient selection for ECMO. Standardized processes for patient selection amidst resource..
Read MoreAbstract For patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), receipt of ECMO(1) may improve survival. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients with COVID-19 referred for ECMO has..
