Abstract The role of intraoperative mechanical support during lung transplantation (LTx) is essential to provide a safe hemodynamic and ventilatory status during critical intraoperative events. This hemodynamic and ventilatory stability..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapy used in severe cardiopulmonary failure. Blood is pumped through an artificial circuit exposing it to nonphysiologic conditions, which promote platelet activation and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be delivered in veno-arterial (VA) and veno-venous (VV) configurations based on the cannulation strategy. VA and VV ECMO are delivered primarily for haemodynamic and..

Abstract Introduction Unfractionated heparin is widely used as an anticoagulant for extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and usually monitored with activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Due to its limitations in pediatric..
