Abstract As the medical complexity of pregnant patients increases, the rate of maternal morbidity has risen. Maternal cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality followed closely..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) remains associated with high rates of complications, weaning failure and mortality which can be partly explained by a knowledge gap on..

Abstract Background: This study aims to assess the outcomes and complications of patients who received veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support after cardiac surgery at..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a mechanical support treatment modality used in patients with refractory cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. Bleeding and thrombotic complications associated with ECMO are inherent concerns..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The application of venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has gained wide acceptance for the treatment of acute severe respiratory failure. Since no rat model of VV ECMO therapy..

Abstract Background Unfractionated heparin, administered during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to prevent thromboembolic events, largely depends on plasma antithrombin for its antithrombotic effects. Decreased heparin responsiveness seems frequent on extracorporeal..
