Regional Perfusion during Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report and Educational Modules on the Concept of Dual Circulations
We present an adult V-A ECMO case report, which illustrates a unique encounter with the concept of "dual circulations."
Using HitAlert Flow Cytometry to Detect Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Antibodies in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Flow cytometry may have a role in the first-line laboratory diagnosis of HIT, especially when combined with an immunological assay such as PaGIA.
Regional Variation in Arterial Saturation and Oxygen Delivery during Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
These results suggest that antegrade cannulation for VA-ECMO improves oxygen delivery to the proximal aorta distribution.
