Abstract Background The utilization of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for intraoperative support during lung transplantation has increased over the past decade. Although veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has recently emerged..
Lee masAbstract Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as a bridge to lung transplant is an infrequent but accepted pathway in patients who have refractory end-stage pulmonary failure. The American Association of Thoracic..
Lee masAbstract There has been an increase in the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to bridge critically ill patients to lung transplant (LTX). This study evaluates how ambulatory status on..
Lee masAbstract Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), imply a decrease in the ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide by the..
Lee masAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplant (BTT) has been used for critically ill candidates with excellent outcomes, but data on this strategy in older recipients..
Lee masAbstract While extracorporeal support of patients awaiting pulmonary transplantation is now well-established, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains a nondurable technology deployed for short-term support or recovery in patients with progressive..
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..
