Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used extensively for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Reports early in the pandemic suggested that mortality in patients..
Read MoreAbstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute cardiac and/or respiratory failure has grown exponentially in the past several decades. Systemic anticoagulation is a fundamental element of caring..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aim of the Study Acute cardiovascular failure remains a leading cause of death in severe poisonings. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been increasingly used as a..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose With newer generation diagonal and centrifugal blood pumps gaining popularity, the objective of this study was to compare the DP3-i-cor diagonal and RotaFlow centrifugal pumps in terms of..
Read MoreAbstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased the demand for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and introduced distinct challenges to patient selection for ECMO. Standardized processes for patient selection amidst resource..
Read MoreAbstract Background We reviewed our experience with 505 patients with confirmed coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at 45 hospitals and estimated risk factors for mortality. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract This study evaluated differences in efficacy and safety outcomes with bivalirudin compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). We..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives This study aimed at investigating the effects of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) service on Burnout syndrome (BOS) development in the intensive care unit (ICU). Design The authors..
Read MoreAbstract For patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), receipt of ECMO(1) may improve survival. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients with COVID-19 referred for ECMO has..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our program changed the model of care pursuing to protect the multidisciplinary team from the risk of infection..
Read MoreAbstract A 55-year-old patient experiencing severe coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) related acute refractory respiratory failure requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) support, with femoro-femoral approach, suddenly developed both signs of..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has been used during the COVID-19 pandemic to support patients with the most severe cases of COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The earliest..
Read MoreHow do you know when it’s time to take your ECMO program to the next level? Though COVID-19 cases may be dropping for the time being, the need for ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) can improve survival in selected patients with cardiac arrest (CA). In this meta-analysis, we evaluated factors associated with short-term survival and favorable neurologic outcome (FNO)..
Read MoreAbstract Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) with femoral access has gained wide acceptance in the treatment of critically ill patients. Since the patient´s cardiac output (CO) can compete..
