Read MoreBienvenido a nuestro webinar Generalidades del Circuito de ECMO en Pediatría en colaboración con la Comunidad de Enfermería de Chile. Este espacio está diseñado para fortalecer el conocimiento y la..
Read MoreEste encuentro es una oportunidad invaluable para actualizarnos en los avances en perfusión, intercambiar experiencias y fortalecer los lazos que nos identifican, no solo como colegas, sino también como una..
Read MoreAsociacion Latinoamerican de Perfusion is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: DIA 1: Generalidades de ECMO y como desarrollar un programa ECMO Time: Oct 28, 2025 07:00..
Read MoreAbstract Weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and determining the optimal timing for liberation from mechanical circulatory support (MCS) remain critical yet complex. Although multiple weaning protocols exist,..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is a life-saving organ support for patients with severe respiratory failure. One of the possible complications involves cannula positioning, but the literature has..
Read MoreAbstract Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare and severe malformation that can lead to life-threatening postnatal physiological challenges which may require lifesaving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, sometimes more..
Read MoreAbstract Background Liberal administration of crystalloid fluid is often required to maintain adequate tissue perfusion when treating life-threatening conditions. Current knowledge indicates that either overhydration or underhydration can promote..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a well-known blood conservation technique, yet its adoption in the US remains low (<20%), and cardiac surgery remains the largest consumer of blood components...
Read MoreAbstract Cytokine hemoadsorption therapy has been proposed to reduce inflammation in patients with hyperinflammation. However, the clinical benefit of cytokine hemoadsorption therapy during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is providing an increasingly important therapy for patients in severe heart and lung failure. Care of these patients is complex, with changes in circulation that..
Read MoreAbstract Background A main concern during cardiac surgery is the protection of the heart. Myocardial ischemia tends to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species. Based on its oxidation–reduction potentials,..
Read MoreAbstract Autologous salvaged blood, commonly called cell salvage, is an established perioperative blood conservation modality to mitigate the impact of acute blood loss by recapturing shed blood and reducing allogeneic..
Read MoreVentilator Management in ECMO for ARDS: Navigating the Balance Between Lung Rest and Lung Protection November 18, 2025 | 11:00 AM EST | Duration: 60 minutes On behalf..
Read MoreAbstract Background The management of intraoperative autologous blood salvage (ABS) quality is essential to ensure safety and outcomes; although publications on this subject are scarce. We evaluated a standardized program..
Read MoreAbstract Chronic respiratory diseases claim nearly four million lives annually, making them the third leading cause of death worldwide. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often the last line of support..
Read MoreAbstract Aims Academic achievement of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) has not been comprehensively studied across the entire CHD severity spectrum. Methods and results Through nationwide registries, we identified..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To summarize the currently available evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation performed by intensivists. Methods We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE,..
Read MoreAbstract Objective This study aims to investigate pulmonary protective and antiinflammatory effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by meta-analysis. Methods Six databases were..
Read MoreAbstract CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS (CPB) is an essential component of cardiac surgery, and its unexpected failure during surgery can compromise circulatory and respiratory management, potentially endangering the patient's life. In the..
Read MoreAbstract Background The experience of a percutaneous microaxial (Impella) in children with is limited. The primary objective of this study was to review our institutional clinical outcomes of Impella use in children..
Read MoreAbstract Delays in mechanical circulatory support initiation, in particular extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), can exceed an hour while awaiting a specialized shock team. Delays can negatively impact patient outcomes. To address..
Read MoreAbstract Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in pediatric patients presents many challenges, including management of a large extracorporeal volume (ECV) and calcium replacement for patients who may not be able to..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of autologous blood transfusion on the requirement of allogeneic blood products and the change in hemoglobin levels in..
Read MoreAbstract Background Despite the widespread adoption of selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) for neonatal aortic arch reconstruction, significant variability in techniques persists across institutions, thus reflecting limited supporting data and..
Read MoreAbstract Background The bleeding in cardiac surgery remains a significant clinical problem. There is no “gold standard” method to quantify blood loss. Traditional measurement of drainage volume often underestimates or..
Read MoreAbstract Context Use of palliative care in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has increased, but its impact on patient- and family-centered outcomes remains unclear. Objective To examine the relationship between specialty..
Read MoreAbstract IMPORTANCE: Physical therapy (PT) interventions for patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is thought to help preserve independence, but the impact of PT frequency on ECMO recovery is..
Read MoreAbstract Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, highly vascular benign tumor that predominantly affects adolescent males. Despite its benign histology, JNA may exhibit aggressive behavior, often invading adjacent anatomic..
Read MoreAbstract Preventing coagulation during extracorporeal blood circulation is critical for clinical treatments. Developing anticoagulant materials for key components can reduce reliance on systemic anticoagulants and improve safety. However, such materials..
