Abstract BACKGROUND The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in the trauma population remains controversial and has been reported only in small cohort studies. Recent ECLS technical advances have increased..
Read MoreAbstract The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no..
Read MoreAbstract Context Use of palliative care in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has increased, but its impact on patient- and family-centered outcomes remains unclear. Objective To examine the relationship between specialty..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a lifesaving treatment for patients with refractory acute respiratory, circulatory, or combined cardiopulmonary failure. The patient is cannulated with one or two cannulae for..
Read MoreAbstract Background Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in cardiac surgery is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Beside other therapeutic measures (e.g. intraaortic balloon pump (IABP)), extracorporeal life..
Read MoreAbstract The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS), including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), is a lifesaving therapy for critically ill children. Despite this, these modalities carry frustratingly..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiogenic shock is a critical condition that affects up to 10% of patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), representing the primary cause of death in this group [, ]...
Read MoreAbstract Despite multimodal treatment of patients with (CS) complicating (AMI), the outcome remains poor. Large retrospective analyses and animal models suggest that (ECLS) in CS-complicating AMI improves outcome . However, to date, no assessing the..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly used in patients during cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock, to support both cardiac and pulmonary function. We performed a systematic review..
Read MoreAbstract Over the past decade, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has gained increasing utilization in the management of refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) with a class IIaC recommendation according to the latest..
Read MorePresented by: Timothy M. Maul, CCP, FPP, PhD The Hoosier Extracorporeal Science Conference (HESC) is hosted and managed by Heartbeat Perfusion Solutions Inc. The video content has been made available..
Read MoreAbstract Background: In lung transplantation surgery, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is essential for safety. Various support methods, including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump techniques, are used, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)..
Read MoreAbstract Background Although cardiogenic shock requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) after cardiac surgery is associated with high mortality, the impact of sex on outcomes of post-cardiotomy ECLS remains unclear with..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: We planned to synthesize evidence examining the potential efficacy and safety of performing physical rehabilitation and/or mobilization (PR&M) in adult patients receiving extracorporeal life support (ECLS). DATA SOURCES: ..
Read MoreAbstract ExtraCorporeal Liver Support (ECLS) systems were developed with the aim of supporting the liver in its detoxification function by clearing the blood from hepatic toxic molecules. We conducted a..
Read MoreAbstract Patients requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) post-Norwood operation constitute an extremely high-risk group. We retrospectively described short-term outcomes, functional status, and assessed risk factors for requiring ECLS post-Norwood operation..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The objective of this study was to investigate the potential synergistic utility of a combination of gaseous nitric oxide (gNO)-intravenous Cangrelor as an effective pharmacological option for the..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) pertains to therapeutic and prophylactic techniques utilized in a wide range of medical applications, with severe pulmonary diseases being the most prominent cases. Over..
Read MoreAbstract Despite ECMO being a well-accepted and established life-saving support for newborns, prematurity (<34 weeks of gestation) and low birth weight <2.0 kg are still considered relative contraindications due to..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly used in the treatment of infarct-related cardiogenic shock despite a lack of evidence regarding its effect on mortality. METHODS In this multicenter..
Read MoreAbstract Drainage insufficiency is a common phenomenon during extracorporeal life support, related to a variable and potentially multiple etiologies. Being associated with impaired extracorporeal blood flow (EBF), so with impaired..
Read MoreAbstract Background In the field of extracorporeal life support (ECLS), the rapid influx of novel technologies and innovative techniques presents an ongoing challenge for professionals to stay informed about these..
Read MoreAbstract A new, lightweight (2.3 kg), ambulatory pulmonary assist system (PAS) underwent preliminary evaluation in ambulatory sheep. The PAS was purposefully designed for long-term extracorporeal respiratory support for chronic lung..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Objective: Resuscitative therapies for respiratory and cardiac failure are lifesaving and extended by using extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as mechanical circulatory support (MSC). This review informs the debate..
Read MoreAbstract Refurbishing single use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) oxygenators for in vitro research applications is common. However, the refurbishment protocols that are established in respective laboratories have never been evaluated. In the present study, we aim at proving..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal life support is an accepted treatment modality for children with severe cardiac and/or respiratory dysfunction. However, after a period of inadequate gut perfusion, clinicians are often reluctant..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Simulation training offers an authentic team-based learning opportunity without risk to real patients. The Educational Corner at the annual congress of the European Branch of Extracorporeal Life..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an intervention used for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from COVID-19 who have failed conventional ventilatory strategies. Very few studies have given..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of mechanical life support that provides full respiratory bypass in patients with severe respiratory failure as a bridge to recovery..
