Read MoreAbstract Predictive scoring systems for adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for sepsis have not been yet reported. Based on the Chinese Society of ExtraCorporeal Life Support (CSECLS)..
Read MoreAbstract Patients undergoing liver transplantation infrequently require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. However, when ECMO is required in the peritransplant period, several key considerations are required to maximize the efficacy..
Read MoreAbstract Background The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a cardiocirculatory support has tremendously increased in critically ill patients. Although fluid therapy is an essential component of the..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Critically ill patients who receive circulatory or respiratory assist using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may develop hemolysis, which can complicate the delivery of supportive care and be a..
Read MoreAbstract Background Hemolysis is a common complication in critically ill patients with sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or therapy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Heme degradation product bilirubin might..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving technique in the armamentarium of critical care medicine. It involves extracorporeal blood circulation outside the body, providing temporary respiratory support while..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Hemolysis, characterized by increased carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb) levels, is a complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: This prospective single-center study aimed to investigate the correlation..
Read MoreAbstract Background and objectives Venous-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a pivotal means for rapid cardiopulmonary support, yet it may result in lower limb ischemia. This study aims to explore..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Our objective was to explore the effects of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride via vitro and in vivo experiments Design A single-center animal..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly used for critically ill patients and associated with high rates of kidney injury and mortality. This study aimed to assess the impact of..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can act as a bridge to recovery in both pre- and postoperative patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA). However, literature on its..
Read MoreAbstract Background Casualties of military conflicts suffer a multitude of injuries, and recent research has documented a significant number develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study undertakes a..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES The study’s aim was to investigate the outcomes and risk factors for mortality in patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection receiving concomitant venoarterial extracorporeal membrane..
Read MoreAbstract In massive pulmonary embolism (PE), endovascular therapies and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are increasingly utilised. However, the impact of combining endovascular therapies with ECMO on shock resolution and clinical recovery remains..
Read MoreAbstract Background Pericardiectomy is the curative treatment for constrictive pericarditis, yet postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) may occur. The application of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in post-pericardiectomy refractory..
Read MoreAbstract We read with great interest the recent study by Stadlbauer et al. [1] published in Intensive Care Medicine, which evaluates the impact of reperfusion therapy including systemic thrombolysis (SYS), surgical..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), an advanced life support method, was developed to treat severe cardiac and pulmonary failure in critically ill patients. ECMO was previously used to treat ARDS,..
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding is a common complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), is multifactorial, and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary hemorrhage represents a serious adverse event in pediatric patients..
Read MoreAbstract Aims The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains ill defined in pulmonary embolism (PE). We investigated outcomes in patients with high-risk PE undergoing ECMO according to initial therapeutic..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is an emerging technique designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in venous blood while enabling lung-protective ventilation or alleviating the work of breathing...
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has become increasingly common in the United States to manage refractory cardiopulmonary failure and has been used in complex populations including pregnant women. Application of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition characterized by diffuse alveolar damage and hypoxemia. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) supports gas exchange and reduces ventilator-induced..
Read MoreAbstract Background The optimal pulmonary revascularisation strategy in high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) requiring implantation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains controversial. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of..
Read MoreAbstract Aim To compare the long-term Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) between patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods and..
Read MoreAbstract The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for temporary mechanical circulatory support in various clinical scenarios has been increasing consistently, despite the lack of sufficient evidence regarding its..
