Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‑ECMO) frequently develop arte‑rial hyperoxaemia, which may be harmful. However, lower oxygen saturation targets may also lead to harmful episodes of hypoxaemia...
Read MoreAbstract Data on perioperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in liver transplantation (LT) are scarce. ECMO has been used preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively for a variety of indications at our center...
Read MoreAbstract Endothelial injury is usually considered as a major com-ponent of the systemic inflammatory response observed during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygena-tion (VA-ECMO) support [1, 2]. Yet, few data are avail-able..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk and low-volume life support with increasing clinical study. However, heterogenous outcome definitions impede data assimilation into evidence to guide practice. The Academic..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) therapy is increasingly being used to support children with refractory cardiorespiratory failure, but its use is occasionally associated with complications. Neonatal aortic dissection in association..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support device for patients with severe heart and/or lung failure. Emergency situations require immediate ECMO response. Primed circuits have become a..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in severe cardiorespiratory failure refractory to conventional management, often as a bridge to recovery, long-term support, or transplant. However, some patients might not..
Read MoreAbstract Controversy has emerged around how to treat patients who were placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) expecting recovery, organ transplant, or durable device, but who can no longer be..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To assess the association between fluctuations of arterial carbon dioxide early after start of (ECMO) with (ICH) or (IS). Materials and methods This single-center retrospective study included patients who required ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Bleeding and thrombotic events (BTE) are frequent during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). They occur at varying timepoints and may be affected by temporal changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis...
Read MoreAbstract Background Clinical blood resources are scarce and autologous blood transfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal is less studied. Objectives To assess the use of staged during decannulation. Methods The study..
Read MoreAbstract Background PPHN is a common cause of neonatal respiratory failure and is still a serious condition and associated with high mortality. Objectives To compare the demographic variables, clinical characteristics,..
Read MoreAbstract Since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2011, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has rapidly evolved to become the preferred ultimate intervention for high- and intermediate-risk..
Read MoreAbstract Background We sought to characterize the association between venovenous (VV-ECMO) bridging duration and outcomes in patients listed for . Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted using the Organ Procurement and..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of Review To present an abridged overview of the literature and pathophysiological background of adjunct interventional left ventricular unloading strategies during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). From..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the impact of inflammation on monitoring for patients supported with (ECMO). Design Prospective single-center . Setting University-affiliated tertiary care academic medical center. Participants Adult venovenous and venoarterial ECMO patients..
Read MoreAbstract Aims Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a life-saving procedure for supporting patients with cardiogenic shock after cardiac surgery. This work aimed to analyse the impact of changes in..
Read MoreAbstract Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate the duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its effect on outcomes. Also, we sought to identify hospital mortality predictors and..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Transport on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a risky and complex procedure. Although most published data support the feasibility of interhospital transport on ECMO, data concerning intra-facility transportation..
Read MoreAbstract The efficacy and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare benefit and risk of ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Low pulse pressure (PP) in venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a marker of cardiac dysfunction and has been associated with acute brain injury (ABI) as continuous-flow centrifugal pump may..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the association of RBC transfusions with thrombosis in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and compare this with the transfusion of other blood products and..
Read MoreAbstract The authors of the study ‘Outcome after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy in Norwood patients before the bidirectional Glenn operation’ should be congratulated for their very good results of Norwood..
Read MoreAbstract Obesity is often considered a contraindication to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) candidacy due to technical challenges with vascular access, higher cardiac output requirements, and known associations between obesity and..
