Abstract This referral center’s prospective inception-cohort study from 1989 to 2000 (Era 1) and 2000 to 2022 (Era 2) included 232 consecutive children having neonatal respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)...

Abstract Pumping blood through an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit in critically ill patients inevitably leads to a pathophysiological response characterized by platelet and procoagulant activation, fibrin deposition, and immunomodulation. This..

Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) cannula configuration and ECMO blood flow on intravascular hemodynamic environment, oxygen saturation, hemolysis, and thrombotic risk under varying..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Family members making decisions about ECMO initiation face high-stakes uncertainty, emotional stress and cultural–ethical dilemmas. However, existing research lacks a synthesised understanding of these decision-making experiences across contexts...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical, life-sustaining intervention often described as ‘a bridge to nowhere’ due to its transient nature and the ethical complexities it entails. This..
