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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO) in cardiac critical care has steadily increased over the past decade. Significant improvements in the technology associated with ECMO have propagated..
