ECPR2: Expert Consensus on Percutaneous Cannulation for Extracorporeal CardioPulmonary Resuscitation
Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged as a promising resuscitation strategy for select patients suffering from refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), though limited data exist regarding the best..
Read MoreAbstract Hypoxemic arrests due to severe traumatic pulmonary injury may not respond to usual medical support. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) can be life-saving; adequate flows are needed in this setting..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To determine if a cannulation method for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is related to patient outcome. Methods A retrospective, multi-center study of adult patients (≥18 years..
Read MoreAbstract Background The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services decreased reimbursement rates for peripheral venoarterial (VA) (ECMO) and venovenous (VV) ECMO procedures in October 2018. Limited data are available describing hospital..
Read MoreAbstract Stroke has potentially devastating consequences for patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane support (VA-ECMO). Arterial cannulation sites for VA-ECMO include the ascending aorta, axillary artery, and femoral artery. However, the..
Read MoreAbstract Type A aortic dissection most often requires emergent surgery to prevent malperfusion, stroke, and/or rupture of aorta. To achieve the structural goals of the operation, the conduct of the..
Read MoreECMO and CRRT ECMO patient selection ECMO cannulation strategies Discussion
Read MoreThe learners will be able to describe where Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) cannulas can be placed to achieve specific respiratory and circulatory support goals.
Read MoreECMO patient selection, cannulation strategies, weaning and how we manage staffing for ECMO patients.
Read MoreAnother excellent review by John Ingram, CCP of various ECMO cannulation strategies, including basic cannulation and exotic cannulation strategies.
Read MoreBackup perfusion coverage for TAVR is a standard of care in the United States. The panel explores other centers in Europe that does not provide any backup coverage and discusses..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of Review This paper will discuss current cannulation strategies for infant aortic arch repair and compare them to more traditionally used techniques. Recent Findings Aortic arch reconstruction in..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) refers to specific mechanical devices used to temporarily support the failing heart and/or lung. Technological advances as well as growing collective knowledge and experience have..
Read MoreAbstract Different arterial cannulation strategies are feasible for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in postcardiotomy shock. We aimed to analyze potential benefits and safety of different arterial cannulation strategies. We..
