Anticoagulation management during veno-venous ECMO support because of ARDS: Single-center experience
Abstract Background Patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) show a high mortality rate of up to 60 %. In such cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is often required,..
Read MoreAbstract The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has become increasingly prevalent, particularly in respiratory disease pandemics such as H1N1-influenza and SARS-CoV-2. This surge has emphasized the importance of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Guideline-based care of patients requiring extracorporeal membranous oxygenation, a form of life support for patients with refractory respiratory and/or cardiac failure, requires a multidisciplinary approach, yet a detailed..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has increasingly been utilized to support patients in respiratory failure as a bridge to recovery or lung transplantation. As patients progress from cannulation to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a supportive therapy for acute respiratory failure with increased risk of packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfusion. Blood cell salvage (BCS) aims..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction This study aimed to identify characteristics associated with survival during and post Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) therapy, in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during the..
Read MoreAbstract We would like to express our gratitude to Aravind Bommiasamy and his coauthors for their detailed analysis on the physiological impacts of cardiac output (CO) on oxygen supply in..
Read MoreAbstract Objective may influence candidacy for venovenous (VVECMO) support. Indeed, (BMI) >40 is considered to be a relative contraindication due to increased mortality observed in patients with BMI above this value. There..
Read MoreAbstract The application of venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has gained wide acceptance for the treatment of acute severe respiratory failure. Since no rat model of VV ECMO therapy..
Read MoreAbstract A 31-year-old woman at 41 weeks gestation presented after a home-delivery attempt, resulting in an intrauterine fetal demise. A cesarean section revealed purulent amniotic fluid. The patient had a..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a critical intervention for patients with severe lung failure, especially acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The weaning process from ECMO relies largely..
Read MoreAbstract IMPORTANCE: “Awake” cannulation for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), where patients remain spontaneously breathing without invasive mechanical ventilation during the cannulation procedure, may reduce lung injury from positive pressure..
Read MoreAbstract Background Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is associated with acute brain injury (ABI), including central nervous system (CNS) ischemia (defined as ischemic stroke or hypoxic-ischemic brain injury [HIBI]) and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a form of mechanical respiratory support for critically ill patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Using a large intravenous line in..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is an integral part of the management algorithm of patients with severe respiratory failure refractory to evidence-based conventional treatments. Right ventricular injury (RVI)..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is an integral part of the management algorithm of patients with severe respiratory failure refractory to evidence-based conventional treatments. Right ventricular injury (RVI)..
Read MoreAbstract Background We sought to characterize the association between venovenous (VV-ECMO) bridging duration and outcomes in patients listed for . Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted using the Organ Procurement and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is a rapidly expanding life-support technique worldwide. The most common indications are severe hypoxemia and/or hypercapnia, unresponsive to conventional treatments, primarily in..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: To examine trends in utilization and outcomes among patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring prolonged venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support. DESIGN: Retrospective observational..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Antithrombin (AT) is a natural anticoagulant essential to enhancing the unfractionated heparin (UFH) anticoagulant effect. Its supplementation in the management of UFH-based anticoagulation during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is used for refractory hypoxemia, although despite this, in high cardiac output states, hypoxaemia may persist. The administration of beta-blockers has been..
Read MoreAbstract Background It is common for patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) to require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This can be done using separate vascular access for..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a therapy for patients with refractory respiratory failure. The decision to decannulate someone from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often involves weaning trials..
Read MoreAbstract Background Bicaval dual lumen cannula (DLC) is gaining popularity in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) for having less recirculation and facilitating mobilization. It is usually inserted under fluoroscopic..
Read MoreAbstract Thermodilution methods to determine cardiac output (CO) may be affected by veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We compared CO estimations by pulmonary arterial thermodilution using a pulmonary arterial catheter..
Read MoreAbstract Cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) is used to detect hemolysis and was recently suggested to trigger acute lung injury. However, its role has not been elucidated in severe acute respiratory distress..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex procedure affecting both the risk of thrombosis and bleeding. High-quality data to personalize anticoagulation management in ECMO are lacking, resulting in..
Read MoreAbstract The clinical tolerance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) membrane changes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients under veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO) has not been reported. The aim of this..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used for respiratory support in the most severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Blood is drained from the large veins, oxygenated in an..
