Read MoreAbstract Critically ill patients rescued with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at risk for devastating complications, including stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Despite an appreciation of some clinical risk factors, we..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review The process of weaning from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is a critical step in the recovery of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome..
Read MoreAbstract Background The Association between hyperoxia and mortality in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains controversial. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of arterial hyperoxia on mortality..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cannulation for peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) can lead to severe local complications. This study evaluated site-specific complications between percutaneous and surgical cannulation techniques for femoro-femoral..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Prolonged ECMO has become more common during the COVID-19 pandemic but is associated with high resource utilization and poor outcomes. This study aimed to identify predictors of prolonged..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in ICUs and is associated with poor outcomes. However, little is known about AKI in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To describe the incidence and survival of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) deployment in the operating room (OR) for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after surgery for..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients, especially among those with severe and advanced organ failure. The use of extracorporeal support (ECS) is..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are often used together to treat critically ill patients. This systematic review aims to assess mortality and renal..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being utilized in critical care globally to allow for adequate oxygenation in patients with cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Unfortunately, haemostatic complications – both..
Read MoreAbstract Background The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization recommends daily antithrombin monitoring and supplementation to achieve > 50%–80% activity during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Evidence supporting this practice is uncertain, and whether..
Read MoreAbstract ECPR Efficacy and Use: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) improves survival and neurologic outcomes in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with global adoption and center availability expanding significantly.
Read MoreAbstract Purpose The benefits of adopting restrictive transfusion strategies, as opposed to a liberal approach, during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remain unclear. This network meta-analysis aims to determine whether a..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can cause blood water loss due to insensible perspiration via oxygenators and plasma leakage. The accurate quantification of water loss is crucial for maintaining..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can provide an option for high-risk procedures that may result in cardiopulmonary collapse. The indications for ECMO standby are not well delineated. We describe the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Children undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at risk of hematologic and coagulation complications, including intracranial hemorrhage. Thromboelastography is used to monitor anticoagulation in patients receiving ECMO, but..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: An increasing number of pediatric centers use the femoral vein in neonates and smaller children to provide venovenous multisite (VVMS) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), but there are no..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Limited data exist on outcomes in COVID-19- vs. influenza A (H1N1)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients when supported on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We aimed to..
Read MoreAbstract Thrombosis and inflammation represent major challenges limiting the functionality of asymmetric poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) hollow fiber membranes in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) systems. Moreover, the interplay between these two pathological..
Read MoreAbstract Data on factor XIII (FXIII) activity in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are scarce. In this prospective, observational, single-centre study, we determined the rate of acquired FXIII deficiency..
Read MoreAbstract Critically acute and ill and Obstetrical patients constitute a unique clinical population with a high mortality rate. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is gradually being used in obstetrical acute and..
Read MoreAbstract This retrospective cohort study evaluates the validity of the Renal Angina Index (RAI) in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) in 272 patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergoing ipsilateral cannulation may develop distal limb ischemia. We postulate 2 clinical questions: (1) Would contralateral cannulation have a lower distal limb..
Read MoreAbstract Background Outcomes of postcardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are well studied, but preoperative ECMO bridging is less studied. This single-center review evaluates outcomes of patients supported with ECMO as..
Read MoreAbstract To our knowledge, no previous reports have described the use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) in patients wearing a halo vest. We present a case in which..
Read MoreAbstract Background Immediate initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has not demonstrated benefit in individuals diagnosed with cardiogenic shock based on the presence of hypotension. The relationship between other hemodynamic..
Read MorePrevalence and Predictors of 3 Vital Outcomes After Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Abstract Background Predictors of death resulting from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal, in-hospital death after ECMO liberation, and survival to hospital discharge have been evaluated incompletely, despite the prognostic insight..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To characterize the variability in venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) candidacy decision-making processes across international Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) member institutions. Design: An international survey study of..
