Read MoreAbstract Background Acute brain injury (ABI) remains common after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Using a large international multicenter cohort, we investigated the impact of peri-cannulation arterial oxygen (PaO2) and carbon..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose The impact of body mass index (BMI) on outcomes in respiratory failure necessitating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been poorly described. We aimed to assess: (i) whether adults..
Read MoreAbstract A nationwide trial has kicked off in the Netherlands as four Mobile Medical Teams join forces to offer extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as rescue therapy for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest...
Read MoreAbstract The time between onset of cardiogenic shock and initiation of mechanical circulatory support is inversely related to patient survival as delays in transporting patients to the operating room (OR)..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: The Harlequin syndrome is a complication observed in patients receiving peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This condition is defined as a critical variation in the oxygen saturation between..
Read MoreAbstract Dual lumen cannulas (DLCs) for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy are introduced in the right internal jugular vein, passing through the superior vena cava and the right atrium (RA) down..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of organ support which is used for severe, potentially reversible respiratory, cardiac or cardiorespiratory failure. While it is associated with significant risk..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been widely used in patients with COVID-19, but uncertainty remains about the determinants of in-hospital mortality and data on post-discharge outcomes are scarce...
Read MoreAbstract Previous studies suggested that contact pathway factors drive thrombosis in mechanical circulation. We used a rabbit model of veno-arterial extracorporeal circulation (VA-ECMO) to evaluate the role of factors XI..
Read MoreAbstract Background In patients receiving venovenous (VV) (ECMO) packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion thresholds are usually higher than in other patients who are critically ill. Available guidelines suggest a restrictive..
Read MoreAbstract The effect and safety of bivalirudin compared with heparin in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and..
Read MoreAbstract Right ventricular injury (RVI) in the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is well recognized as an important determinant risk factor of mortality. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO)..
Read MoreAbstract Revised guidelines clarify indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Limited data exist to compare clinical outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To assess the association of timing to prone positioning (PP) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) with the probability of being discharged alive from the ICU at..
Read MoreAbstract Limited data exist to guide antimicrobial therapy commonly prescribed to patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This study aimed to describe the kinetics of the cefazolin, doripenem, daptomycin, and levofloxacin in..
Read MoreAbstract In patients in cardiogenic shock (CS), mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may improve systemic perfusion without increasing myocardial work. Restoration of oxygen delivery with reduced myocardial oxygen demand favors myocardial..
Read MoreAbstract We have read the review article entitled “Controversies in ECMO: Immediate versus Watchful Waiting for VA-ECMO Venting” by Cavayas and colleagues, published in the Special Issue of Invited Presentations:..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction After cardiac surgery, patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have a higher risk of nosocomial infection in the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to establish an..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly being used for circulatory support in cardiogenic shock patients, although the evidence supporting its use in this context remains insufficient. The aim..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is recommended in adult patients with refractory acute respiratory failure (ARF), but there is limited evidence for its use in patients with less severe..
Read MoreAbstract Background Neurologic complications can occur during neonatal Veno-Venous (VV) ECMO. The addition of a cephalad drainage cannula (i.e., VVDL+V) to dual lumen cannulation (i.e., VVDL) has been advocated to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has salvaged many people's life during global pandemics. However, ECMO is associated with a high incidence of hemostatic complications. This study aims to explore..
Read MoreAbstract The primary objective was to investigate the association between partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) change after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation and neurologic outcome in neonates treated for respiratory..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which can support gas exchange or hemodynamics in patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure, has demonstrated considerable evolution over the last decade [], with..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is becoming a common procedure to support patients with severe cardio-circulatory or respiratory failure as well as in case of combined compromise of the two..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Simultaneous mechanical (MCS) with intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to (ECMO) is common in postcardiotomy (PCS). This study aimed to analyse the effect of concomitant ECMO and IABP therapy on the short-term..
