Abstract Background The purpose of this descriptive study was to characterize the utilization and outcomes of CPB after trauma. Methods This is an AAST-sponsored retrospective (2011-2021) multicenter (32 centers) study..
Read MoreAbstract Background Patients with severe trauma are at high risk of developing life-threatening complications, including acute respiratory failure and circulatory collapse. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers critical support when conventional..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for trauma is underreported in Latin America. We conducted a cohort study in four centers from Argentina (2015–2024), including all adults with polytrauma (defined as..
Read MoreAbstract 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 Although venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for trauma patients with severe respiratory failure, its mortality rate is 27%, and optimal metabolic markers for its..
Read MoreAbstract Although venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for trauma patients with severe respiratory failure, its mortality rate is 27%, and optimal metabolic markers for its..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a venovenous configuration (VV-ECMO) is increasingly recognized as an important therapeutic option for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Accumulating scientific evidence as well..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Despite the increasing amount of evidence supporting its use, cell salvage (CS) remains an underutilized resource in operative trauma care in many hospitals. We aim to evaluate the..
Read MoreAbstract Over the past decades, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been utilized increasingly in severe trauma patients, and its advantages are becoming widely accepted., The article by Trivedi et al. illustrates a recent..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Hemorrhage is the most common cause of preventable death after trauma. Coagulopathy plays a central role in uncontrolled bleeding and is caused by multiple factors. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation..
