Read MoreAbstract Purpose Previous studies support the potential efficacy of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) for improving survival in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) cases. Prone positioning (PP) has been..
Read MoreAbstract Background The optimal haemoglobin threshold for use of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in anaemic patients remains an active field of research. Blood is a scarce resource, and in some countries,..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives We aim at identifying the changes in venous blood saturation values that associates intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in cardiac surgery patients with reduced left ventricular function (LVF). Methods..
Read MoreAbstract From its foundational years, transfusion medicine (TM) has been associated with errors and their reporting. Patient safety and quality were brought to the forefront of health care through the..
Read MoreAbout the MS-ECS Program The Master of Science in Extracorporeal Science (MS-ECS) provides students with the cognitive knowledge and application of extracorporeal technology. The MS-ECS program is an online, distance-based..
Read MorePatient with IAS tumor with malignant appearance undergone resection and reconstruction with autologous pericardial patch. Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical research ADKWA center as well as Head..
Read MoreAbstract Vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) was proposed to optimize venous drainage during bypass through femoral venous cannulation. It is currently used in both adult and pediatric surgery when siphon gravity..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Percutaneous cannulation is increasingly used for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, there is limited evidence about the benefit of this approach compared with conventional surgical cannulation. By..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The aim of this study was to develop and validate a score to accurately predict the probability of death for adult extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Background ECPR is..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To investigate platelet pathophysiology associated with pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Design: Prospective observational study of neonatal and pediatric ECMO patients from September 1, 2016, to December 31,..
