Abstract 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..

Read MoreAbstract Objective The pattern and timing of palliative care utilisation and end-of-life characteristics in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported patients remain underused. We wanted to share our centre’s experience. Methods This is an..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Pediatric Veno-Arterial Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA ECMO) can be a lifesaving technology; however, it is associated with high mortality. A successful VA ECMO course requires attention to..
Read MoreAbstract Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a severe complication seen in patients with refractory septic shock, characterized by cardiac dysfunction due to an overwhelming inflammatory response secondary to infection. Despite its reversible..
Read MoreAbstract Venopulmonary arterial (VPA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is emerging as an alternative to traditional venovenous (VV) ECMO for respiratory failure. This study compares rates of hemolysis and acute kidney..
Read MoreAbstract As extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly utilized for refractory cardiac arrest in adults, we learn significantly more about resuscitation in ways that were not applicable, or even available..
Read MoreAbstract Background:Mechanical circulatory support, and specifically extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, plays a critical role in managing paediatric cardiac patients with severe heart failure. Whilst these technologies are vital for bridging patients..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a medical device that provides temporary external circulation and respiratory support during heart-lung procedures, substituting for heart and lung function to alleviate their burden..
Read MoreAbstract The use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is a common treatment in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) but is associated with high..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving cardiopulmonary bypass technology for critically ill patients. Patients treated with ECMO receive multiple drugs to treat critical illnesses, prevent infections, and maintain..
Read MoreAbstract The aim of this study was to develop a scoring tool to estimate the probability of survival following extracorporeal rewarming in patients suffering hypothermic cardiac arrest. This is a..
Read MoreAbstract Although venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for trauma patients with severe respiratory failure, its mortality rate is 27%, and optimal metabolic markers for its..
Read MoreAbstract Objective This study aims to utilize HFO analysis to enhance existing SSEP modality and develop it as a bedside diagnostic tool for acute brain injury (ABI) detection in Extracorporeal..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is increasingly being used in patients with respiratory failure. The goal of this study was to characterize postdischarge psychological and functional outcomes of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Approximately 6000 intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States maintain extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) programs.1 Patients who require ECMO are among the most critically ill in the ICU...
Read MoreAbstract During ECMO therapy, infections are common and have substantial impact on treatment outcomes. However, data on the prevalence and clinical impact of microbial ECMO cannula colonization are scarce. Between..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supports severe cardiorespiratory failure but carries a significant bleeding risk. This systematic review aims to report bleeding definitions in studies involving neonates and children treated..
Read MoreAbstract PROFOUND HYPOTENSION AND end-organ hypoperfusion are most often the consequence of inadequate systemic blood flow from primary cardiac failure (cardiogenic shock) or hemorrhage (hemorrhagic shock). However, profound hypotension may..
Read MoreAbstract When conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) cannot restore spontaneous circulation, the initiation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during refractory cardiac arrest—known as extracorporeal CPR (ECPR)—might restore circulation and adequate tissue..
Read MoreAbstract The success of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in treating Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and the risk factors associated with mortality remain uncertain. Methods: We describe the survival outcomes at..
Read MoreAbstract The use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) alongside venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in critically ill patients presenting refractory cardiogenic shock raises questions regarding its impact on organs perfusion...
Read MoreAbstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) in patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and severe valvular abnormalities poses unique challenges to traditional mechanical circulatory support (MCS) strategies, such as intra-aortic balloon pumps..
