Read MoreAbstract Background Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the care of patients with COVID-19 has changed and the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has increased. We aimed to..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Soluble MER has emerged as a potential biomarker for delayed resolution of inflammation after myocardial injury and a therapeutic target to reduce cardiac-related morbidity and mortality in adults...
Read MoreAbstract Decision-making surrounding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation and decannulation has become a key challenge in critical care. Nuanced communication skills and transparent discussions about prognosis are imperative during this lifesaving,..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 83-year-old man, with a history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and myocardial infarction, who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a common treatment for cardiopulmonary failure. Although it can effectively reduce the mortality of patients with cardiopulmonary failure, it still has a high mortality..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Patients after cardiac surgery with (CPB) require a stay in the ICU postoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of prolonged length of stay (LOS) in the ICU..
Read MoreAbstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic began in the United States around March 2020. Because of limited access to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the authors’ region, a mobile..
