Abstract Background: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a critical intervention for patients with severe lung failure, especially acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The weaning process from ECMO relies largely..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction In children requiring venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for long durations, conversion to venovenous (VV) support may be advantageous. The purpose of this study was to evaluate..
Read MoreAbstract IMPORTANCE: “Awake” cannulation for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), where patients remain spontaneously breathing without invasive mechanical ventilation during the cannulation procedure, may reduce lung injury from positive pressure..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cold-induced RNA binding protein (CIRBP) is widely involved in critical physiological processes of myocardial fibrosis (MF), a crucial mechanism of cardiac insufficiency in myocardial infarction (MI). However, whether CIRBP..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with significant inflammatory reactions that can impact patient outcomes. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of ECMO on the functional ability of..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Hydroxocobalamin increases systemic blood pressure through nitric oxide pathway suppression. However, its effects on hypotension during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are unknown. The objective of this study was to..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Although decannulation from ECMO is usually irrevocable, in rare circumstances, ECMO will be reinitiated. Data on outcomes after re-cannulation of ECMO are limited,1 so we studied our experience with ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk procedure with significant morbidity and mortality and there is an uncertain volume-outcome relationship, especially regarding long-term functional outcomes. The aim of..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been increasingly used for refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Although guidelines have downgraded the recommendations for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in CS, escalation from..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as an important intervention for children both preceding and following cardiac surgery. There is a notable lack of comprehensive information regarding neurodevelopmental outcomes...
Read MoreAbstract We present a case of successfully treating an adult woman with a lethal bupropion overdose with VA-ECMO. The patient presented to the hospital with severe encephalopathy, which progressed to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is associated with acute brain injury (ABI), including central nervous system (CNS) ischemia (defined as ischemic stroke or hypoxic-ischemic brain injury [HIBI]) and..
Read MoreAbstract Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides lifesaving cardiopulmonary support for patients with a multitude of clinical diagnoses, resulting from cardiac and/or respiratory failure refractory to conventional supports. The utilization..
Read MoreAbstract When native blood flow through the aorta from the adult heart and lungs meets retrograde blood flow from an artificial heart and lung during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO),..
Read MoreAbstract With advancements in (ECLS) technologies, venoarterial (VA-ECMO) has emerged as a crucial cardiopulmonary support mechanism. This review explores the significance of VA-ECMO system configuration, strategies, and timing of initiation. Through an analysis..
Read MoreAbstract A patient with a percutaneously inserted cardiopulmonary bypass cannula into the right internal jugular vein, connected to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit using tape, was referred for transport..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a vital intervention for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), yet its efficacy with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains unknown. This study compared the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a form of mechanical respiratory support for critically ill patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Using a large intravenous line in..
Read MoreAbstract CONTEXT: Conventional MRI is incompatible with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulas and pumps. Ultra-low-field portable MRI (ULF-pMRI) with 0.064 Tesla may provide a solution, but its safety and compatibility..
Read MoreAbstract In recent decades, the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has increased. In acute cardiogenic shock, VA-ECMO implantation can serve as a bridging solution to facilitate recovery, provide..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving treatment for critically ill patients in cardiac or respiratory failure refractory to conventional treatment. Patients on an ECMO circuit (pump, oxygenator, tubing)..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides temporary cardiopulmonary support in the setting of refractory cardiogenic shock. Mechanical ventilation and sedation often accompanies VA-ECMO support and carry the increased risk..
Read MoreAbstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) strategies in children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have not been studied much and the ventilatory parameters to avoid greater lung damage are still unclear. Our..
Read MoreAbstract Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential tool for the management of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Its ease of access makes it ideally suited for routine daily bedside assessments, which..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often withheld in patients with significant neurologic injury or recent neurosurgical intervention due to perceived futility. Studies of neurosurgical interventions before or during..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Calcium channel blocker (CCB) toxicity presents a significant mortality risk, highlighting the need for effective treatment strategies such as ECMO. This study analyzes ELSO registry data to determine the..
Read MoreAbstract With the COVID pandemic, veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was implanted in many patients around the world. Data regarding follow-up and recovery of patients who are placed on..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an effective life support technology in treating patients with cardiorespiratory failure. It could be used as a bridge to recovery, potentially improving patient outcomes due..
Read MoreAbstract Thrombosis and plasma leakage are two of the most frequent dysfunctions of polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane (PPM) used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. In this study, a..
