Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex and life‐threatening condition characterized by a sudden and profound reduction in cardiac output, leading to inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery and organ..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in critical care to manage patients with severe respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO brings blood from a critically ill patient into contact with..

Abstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for severe respiratory failure has seen an exponential growth in recent years. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) represent two modalities that can..

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has already become a global pandemic as a public health emergency of international concern. Previous..

Abstract Inadequate venous drainage decreases the efficiency of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Pump augmentation may even make it worse due to collapse of the venous system under negative pressures. Furthermore, recirculation is..

Abstract Abstract: Here we report two cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in pediatric patients following orthotopic heart transplantation due to low cardiac output and inability to separate from..

Abstract Traditional venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory failure requires deep sedation and immobilization of patients, both of which carry high morbidity and mortality rates. Technological innovation has..

Abstract Objective: Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) varies in the way care is provided from hospital to hospital. This variability in hospital ECMO care can be represented by the variation..

Abstract Nosocomial blood stream infections (BSIs) increase both the morbidity and the mortality of patients receiving extracorporeal life support (ECLS). The aim of this study was to identify common practices..

Abstract A term neonate was cannulated for venoarterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) via the right neck for non-postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia. Initial echocardiogram demonstrated an echogenic strand in the transverse..
