Read MoreAbstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the number of patients who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). To manage the demand for ECMO, Japan ECMOnet for COVID-19 was..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 40-year-old-female who was hospitalized with signs of respiratory distress due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. [pdf-embedder url="https://perfusfind.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/CoW_32_2021_E_web_compressed.pdf"]
Read MoreTo the Editor: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was considered early in the pandemic to rescue the most severe forms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)–associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is commonly used to support patients with severe respiratory failure with adequate cardiac function by providing gas exchange while allowing for lung-protection, lung..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: To establish a model to predict the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after cardiac surgery. Methods: Data were collected on 132 ARDS patients, who received valvular or coronary..
Read MoreAbstract Prone position quickly imposed as a cornerstone in the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [1, 2]. The response to..
Read MoreAbstract Prone position quickly imposed as a cornerstone in the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [, ]. The response to prone..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for severe respiratory failure has seen an exponential growth in recent years. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) represent two modalities that can..
Read MoreAbstract Despite advances in medical technology, the mortality rate for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains high at around 40% []. In recent years, multiple studies, systematic reviews, and..
Read MoreAbstract Background: To report and compare the characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to non-COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients on ECMO. Methods: We..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) can permit lung protective or noninvasive ventilation strategies in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). With evidence supporting ECCO2R..
Read MoreAbstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has already become a global pandemic as a public health emergency of international concern. Previous..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The mortality of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is high, particularly among those receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). Despite the high number of patients treated worldwide, data on respiratory..
Read MoreAbstract Inter-facility transport of a critically ill patient with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) may be necessary for a higher level of care and/or initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)...
Read MoreAbstract AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled milrinone in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS Open-label prospective cross-over pilot study where fifteen adult patients with hypoxemic failure..
Read MoreAbstract In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with refractory septic shock, isolated veno–venous (VV) or veno–arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may lead to differential hypoxia or inadequate tissue perfusion..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with concomitant impairment of oxygenation and decarboxylation represents a complex problem in patients with increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Permissive hypercapnia is not an..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be a lifesaving therapy in patients with refractory severe respiratory failure or cardiac failure. Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) still has a high-mortality..
Read MoreAbstract Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who were placed in the prone position had improved gas exchange and reduced intensity of inspiratory effort compared with the supine position,..
Read MorePediatric population have been affected by the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to a much smaller scale compared with the adult population. The severity of the disease is variable ranging from..
Read MoreAbstract Background Lactate has been recognised as a in several critical conditions. Veno-Venous (VV-ECMO) is a well-established therapy in patients with Syndrome (ARDS) unresponsive to conventional therapy and pre ECMO initiation has been recently..
