Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract CentriMag® extracorporeal VAD support could represent a more physiological choice than conventional ECMO in primary cardiogenic shock. We therefore evaluated the outcome of patients with primary cardiogenic shock who were..

Abstract Background: Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) that is refractory to inotropic support remains a major concern in cardiac surgery and is almost universally fatal unless treated with mechanical support. While reported..

Abstract Purpose Preoptimizing the hemodynamics and volume status prior to heart transplant is essential for the outcome. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been expanding especially after recent changes to..

Abstract Importance  Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used as temporary cardiorespiratory support in critically ill patients, but little is known regarding long-term psychiatric sequelae among survivors after ECMO. Objective  To investigate the..

Abstract Background: The benefit of the combined use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for postcardiotomy shock remains unclear. We aimed to analyse the potential..

Abstract Adequate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in the adult requires cannulae permitting blood flows up to 6-8 L/minute. In accordance with Poiseuille's law, flow is proportional to the fourth power..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is an effective mechanical circulatory support for cardiopulmonary failure. Conventionally, an arterial cannula over 15 Fr is inserted for full circulatory support in..

Case A 55 year old female, no previous medical history, underwent out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) was initiated, with return of spontaneous circulation after 30’ of conventional..

Abstract Burns are among the leading causes of trauma worldwide, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of death in burn patients. Some patients develop hypoxemia refractory..

Abstract We applied the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) schema to cardiogenic shock (CS) patients treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) to assess performance in this high..

Abstract Background and purpose Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) continues to play an essential role in organ support in cardiogenic shock or acute respiratory distress syndrome and bridging to transplantation. The..

Abstract Rationale: Data are suggesting that altered antimicrobial concentrations are likely during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Objectives: The primary aim of this analysis was to describe the pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials..

Abstract In September 2020, researchers from the University Heart and Vascular Center Hamburg, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, and Department of Cardiology/Electrophysiology described their technique for laser lead extraction during VA-ECMO..

Abstract Objectives Refractory hypoxemia can occur in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome from COVID-19 despite support with venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Parallel ECMO circuits can be used..
