Abstract Objective The use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been suggested to unload the left ventricle while on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock (CS), leading..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) traditionally has been used under deep sedation and mechanical ventilation. However, recent advancements have led to the development of awake ECMO strategies, allowing patients to..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: In life-threatening conditions like severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), rescue interventions like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be initiated urgently to resolve an otherwise potentially adverse clinical outcome...
Read MoreAbstract In neonates with pulmonary hypertension (PH) supported on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), keeping the ductus arteriosus (DA) open ensures a high cardiac output of well-oxygenated blood through the..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is the most commonly used mode of support in pre-lung transplant recipients. In patients who experience right ventricular dysfunction, venopulmonary ECMO is an excellent option..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Previous studies have shown that inaccurate peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings compared with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) may occur in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. We hypothesized that..
Read MoreAbstract Protamine is widely used after catheter ablation to achieve hemostasis. Anaphylaxis to protamine is a rare but severe complication. A 49-year-old male patient underwent catheter ablation of symptomatic long-standing..
Read MoreAbstract Rationale: Randomised clinical trials in intensive care often prioritize disease-focused outcomes rather than patient-centred outcomes. Objective: To report and evaluate the ‘Daily Organ Support for patients on extracorporeal membrane..
Read MoreAbstract Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) use to support patients in cardiac failure is increasing. Despite this increased use, predicting successful weaning from ECMO can be challenging, no..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used. Previous methods to reduce inflammation have shown inconsistent results. We developed a cytokine adsorption column using polymethyl methacrylate..
Read MoreAbstract Objective The outcomes of COVID-19 patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) varied. We aim to investigate the variability concerning location and timeframe. We conducted a retrospective analysis of..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a crucial support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure, but its availability is limited, often requiring patient transport to specialized centers. Only..
Read MoreAbstract Background Early rehabilitation in an intensive care unit (ICU) can shorten the ICU stay and reduce the associated risks and costs. However, mobilization has been shown to be slower..
Read MoreAbstract Acute brain injury (ABI) is prevalent among patients undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and significantly impact recovery. Early prediction of ABI could enable timely interventions to prevent adverse..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support system composed of a pump, an oxygenator, hemocompatible component coating, and integrated monitoring. ECMO systems have evolved greatly since the..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Although lung transplantation has experienced great development in the past decades, the survival rate remains low, and lung ischaemia–reperfusion injury during transplantation is a major cause of primary..
Read MoreAbstract This study aimed to describe patient characteristics, mortality, and morbidity outcomes in children at a South African extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center. Fifty-seven patients required ECMO from 2018 to..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The last 15 years have seen a rapid expansion in the use of extracorporeal life support. ECMO has evolved from a rescue treatment available in a few expert..
Read MoreAbstract Background Nonintubated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly utilized for patients with severe respiratory failure. Since data on its use as a bridge to lung transplant remain limited,..
Read MoreAbstract Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe complication of bacterial or viral pneumonia that can lead to refractory respiratory failure in children. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a vital..
Read MoreAbstract PULMONARY EMBOLISM (PE) remains a significant healthcare challenge, ranking as the third leading cause of mortality worldwide, following coronary artery disease and stroke. In the United States, mortality rates among..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To describe longer-term survival and morbidity outcomes after hospital discharge in a binational cohort of children who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiac surgery. Methods This was a..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To report differences between 2 anticoagulation protocols during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) intraoperative support and their effects on outcomes after lung transplantation. Methods We performed a retrospective..
Read MoreAbstract Background Coagulopathy frequently complicates venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) procedures, yet its underlying mechanism remains elusive. This retrospective study aimed to identify factors contributing to coagulopathy during VV..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in patients after cardiac surgery; however, anticoagulation management has consistently been challenging. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of a..
Read MoreAbstract Superior vena cava drainage during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may reduce access insufficiency and differential oxygenation and is typically achieved via the femoral approach. Direct multistage jugular cannulation may be..
