Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Shanghai, China

Severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cannot be adequately managed with mechanical ventilation alone. The role and outcome of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the management of COVID-19 is..

“Awake” extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): pathophysiology, technical considerations, and clinical pioneering

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) has been classically employed as a rescue therapy for patients with respiratory failure not treatable with conventional mechanical ventilation alone. In recent years, however, the..

Setting mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients during VV-ECMO: where are we?

Currently, many centers use venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) as an adjunctive means of gas exchange to mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with severe ARDS and refractory hypoxemia. One of..

Mechanical ventilation in patients subjected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a crucial element in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), because there is high level evidence that a low tidal volume of 6ml/kg (protective..

Evaluation of Recirculation During Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Incorporating Fluid-Structure Interaction

Abstract Recirculation in venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) leads to reduction in gas transfer efficiency. Studies of the factors contributing have been performed using in vivo studies and computational..
