Abstract Nutrition support in critically ill infants and children remains an integral part of providing optimal care for these patients. The pediatric patient requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy faces specific..
Read MoreAbstract Background Bleeding and thrombosis are common extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) complications associated with increased mortality. Heparin is the most commonly used ECMO anticoagulant, employed in 94% of cases. Reduced..
Read MoreAbstract Children who experience cardiac arrest are one and a half times more likely to survive at a hospital capable of providing the life support system called ECMO, research suggests...
Read MoreAbstract The main objective of this study was to describe the current mechanical ventilation (MV) settings during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (P-ARDS) in six..
Read MoreAbstract Clinicians caring for children with cardiopulmonary failure using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are refining bedside clinical practices by focusing on minimizing morbidity associated with neurologic complications. Neurologic complications are the main drivers of survival..
Read MoreAbstract Background Fluid overload is a serious complication in the treatment of infants with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Volume overload leads to prolonged ECMO therapy if left untreated. The renal..
Read MoreAbstract Despite increasing early rehabilitation and mobilisation (ERM) in paediatric intensive care, current evidence for ERM of neonatal and paediatric patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is limited. The proposed..
Read MoreAbstract Fluid overload is common among pediatric cardiac patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and is often treated with in-line ultrafiltration (UF) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We assessed whether..
Read MoreAbstract This study evaluated practices for image guidance during placement of bicaval dual-lumen (BCDL) venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) cannulas in pediatric and adolescent patients and elucidates reasoning behind surgeon..
Read MoreAbstract Peripheral veno-artertial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is commonly used in the paediatric population for intractable respiratory and cardiac failure. One of the devastating complications of VA-ECMO is severe brain..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: We sought to update our 2015 work in the Second Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC-2) guidelines for the diagnosis and management of pediatric acute respiratory distress..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: To systematically review and assimilate literature on children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) with the goal of developing an update to the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Seizures, strokes, and intracranial hemorrhage are common and feared complications in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Researchers and clinicians have proposed and deployed methods for monitoring..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Children presenting with acute myocarditis may experience rapid clinical deterioration requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); however, our understanding of best practices and timing of ECMO initiation are lacking...
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To describe factors associated with hemolysis during pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and the relationships between hemolysis, complications and mortality. Design: Secondary analysis of data collected prospectively by..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) involves complex coagulation management and frequent hemostatic complications. ECMO practice between centers is variable. To compare results between coagulation studies, standardized definitions and clear..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high risk, low-volume technology. Infrequency of this technology and associated complications may translate to unfamiliarity of identification and management of potentially..
Read MoreAbstract (ECMO) is a form of (ECLS) which is used frequently in the paediatric and neonatal setting to support either the pulmonary, or both the pulmonary and . Management of ECMO requires..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS, also known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO) emerged in the 1970s as a potentially useful life-support therapy for refractory cardiac or respiratory failure in..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Pediatric cardiac Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is effective, however, bleeding and clotting issues continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to assess..
