Plasma Exchange in the Setting of Immune-Mediated Multiple Organ Failure in the Cardiac ICU During ECMO: A Case Series

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a last resort treatment for children with cardio-respiratory failure. Some of these patients will develop thrombocytopenia-associated multiple organ failure (TAMOF), which is sometimes managed..

A Novel Approach to Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Patients

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a medical device that provides temporary external circulation and respiratory support during heart-lung procedures, substituting for heart and lung function to alleviate their burden..

The impact of cardiopulmonary bypass time on the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score after cardiac surgery

Abstract OBJECTIVES Postoperative organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery, particularly when cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is validated to predict morbidity and..

An elevated respiratory quotient predicts complications after cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation: an observational pilot study

Abstract Following cardiac surgery, hyperlactatemia due to anaerobic metabolism is associated with an increase in both morbidity and mortality. We previously found that an elevated respiratory quotient (RQ) predicts anaerobic..
