Read MoreAbstract Accidental hypothermia with a core temperature below 28°C is associated with an increased risk of hemodynamic instability. It is difficult to predict which patients will survive with a favorable..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Venovenous ECMO is a lifesaving technique for patients with severe respiratory failure. Management of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels at ECMO start is crucial, as recent studies found an association..
Read MoreAbstract Few patients with coronavirus disease 2019–associated severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) require veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Prolonged VV-ECMO support necessitates repeated oxygenator replacement, increasing the risk for..
Read MoreOver the last two years, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a therapy for COVID-related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and continues to be a successful therapy for ARDS..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To determine if a cannulation method for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is related to patient outcome. Methods A retrospective, multicenter study of adult patients (≥18 years old)..
Read MoreAbstract Background. In this study, we evaluate the previously reported novel Minnesota Score for association with in-hospital mortality and allocation of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory..
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding and thromboembolic events are common during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO). It is unknown whether these complications are driven by the ECMO system itself, multiorgan-failure, or both. The..
Read MoreAbstract Increased plasma concentrations of circulating cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) are supposed to contribute to the multifactorial etiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). In their recent article: “The role of cell-free..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: This study aimed at analyzing the prevalence, mortality association, and risk factors for bleeding and thrombosis events (BTEs) among adults supported with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Methods:..
Read MoreAbstract Abstract: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is now an established modality of support for patients with the who are failing evidence-based conventional therapies. Minimising ventilator-induced lung injury is..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has been used as a life-supporting modality for patients with severe respiratory failure because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aim to evaluate..
Read MoreAbstract We have read with interest the report of ELSO-registry data published by Nunez and coworkers in Intensive Care Medicine analyzing risk factors for bleeding and thrombotic events (BTE) on..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) has gained widespread use as a supposedly less invasive alternative for hypercapnic respiratory failure besides venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). Despite technological advances,..
Read MoreAbstract El uso de la técnica de oxigenación mediante membrana extracorpórea (ECMO), en su configuración venovenosa (V-V), en pacientes con síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo (SDRA) ha aumentado en los..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To determine if a cannulation method for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is related to patient outcome. Methods A retrospective, multi-center study of adult patients (≥18 years..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: The question of whether cancer patients with severe respiratory failure beneft from veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) remains unanswered. We, therefore, analyzed clinical characteristics and outcomes of a..
Read MoreAbstract We read with great interest the paper of Giani and colleagues titled "Prone positioning during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory distress syndrome: a pooled individual patient data..
Read MoreAbstract The outcome of COVID-19 patients treated on intensive care units (ICU) is unsatisfying (1). Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) can serve as a rescue strategy when patients deteriorate during..
Read MoreAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) encountered during the course of cardiothoracic (CT) surgery is a rare (1.1% incidence) unfortunate event increasing both morbidity and mortality., Cardiogenic shock occurring during CT..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: This study aimed at analyzing the prevalence, mortality association, and risk factors for bleeding and thrombosis events (BTEs) among adults supported with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Methods:..
Read MoreAbstract WE READ with great interest the work by Li et al. in the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. In their work, the authors characterized the incidence and effect on outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract The role of intraoperative mechanical support during lung transplantation (LTx) is essential to provide a safe hemodynamic and ventilatory status during critical intraoperative events. This hemodynamic and ventilatory stability..
Read MoreAbstract A 47-year-old man, with no medical history, was diagnosed with severe COVID-19 ARDS and pulmonary embolism. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was required for impossibility to deliver protective ventilation...
