Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of cardiopulmonary support associated with improved survival in severe respiratory failure and refractory cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is highly specialized and..
Read MoreAbstract Rescue Extracorporeal Life Support Programs based at non-cardiac surgery centers have unique needs to be able to ensure successful outcomes despite low patient volumes. In this paper we describe..
Read MoreAbstract Background:The study objective was to characterize compliance with Standardized Therapy after ECMO Program (STEP), an intentional discharge pathway for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) survivors in a US pediatric hospital. ..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) represents a potentially lifesaving support for respiratory and/or circulatory failure but its availability is limited to larger medical centers. A well-organized regional ECMO center..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging approach to cardiac arrest. We present two contrasting cases from a high-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center (defined as greater than 30..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a vital therapy offering a lifeline to critically ill patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. Its life-saving potential is undeniable, with survival..
Read MoreAbstract We describe the development, implementation, and outcomes of an intensivist-led adult extracorporeal life support (ECLS) program using intensivists both to perform venovenous (V-V), venoarterial (V-A), and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation..
Read MoreDr. Eric Skipper lectures and discusses the importance of patient selection by ELSO guidelines to ensure a successful and beneficial ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) program.
Read MoreAbstract Aim: The ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) Program at the American University of Beirut Medical Center was established in November 2015 as the first program serving adult and pediatric population..
