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..

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..

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 (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..

Introduction In our institute, we began using peripheral veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in 2010, and peripheral veno-venous (VV) ECMO in 2015. This study aimed to describe clinical characteristics..

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..
