Proactive management of children who undergo cardiac surgery and receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support may significantly increase survival rates, according to […]
The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility, safety, and effect on oxygenation and lung mechanics of PP during ECMO. As a secondary exploratory aim, we assessed the association between PP and hospital mortality.
Based on our experience, we recommend the use of heparin-free ECMO in multiple injured patients with pulmonary failure that is not successfully controlled by lung-protective ventilation even if severe TBI is present.
