Side-Arm Grafts for Femoral Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation
We describe our experience with the use of a side-arm graft sewn to the femoral artery that facilitates adequate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flow while preventing lower extremity ischemia.
Increased Sedation Requirements in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Respiratory and Cardiorespiratory Failure
The aim of our study was to characterise the sedation requirements in adult patients receiving ECMO for cardiorespiratory failure.
Aggressive Management of Massive Hemothorax in Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this study, we present the clinical results of using aggressive management to treat a consecutive series of patients on ECMO whose conditions were complicated by massive hemothorax.
Subclavian Insertion of the Bicaval Dual Lumen Cannula for Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We describe a method for cannula placement through the left subclavian vein that is well suited for smaller patients and convenient for patient mobility.
Sequestration of Drugs in the Circuit May Lead to Therapeutic Failure During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This ex vivo study was designed to determine the degree of sequestration of commonly used antibiotics, sedatives and analgesics in ECMO circuits.
Subclavian Artery Cannulation for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Patients with acute cardiopulmonary failure can safely be placed on subclavian venoarterial ECMO for prolonged periods with full flows, adequate oxygenation, and sufficient ventricular unloading.
ASAP ECMO: Antibiotic, Sedative and Analgesic Pharmacokinetics During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multi-Centre Study to Optimise Drug Therapy During ECMO
This study was designed to describe the pharmacokinetics of the commonly used antibiotic, analgesic and sedative drugs in adult patients receiving ECMO.
Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fluconazole in Young Infants Supported with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This study determined the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole in infants on ECMO.
Arterial Chimney Graft Cannulation for Interventional Lung Assist
An interventional lung assist membrane ventilator (iLA) for arteriovenous extracorporeal CO2 removal was connected to a small-diameter femoral artery by use of a chimney graft in an underweight patient with acute respiratory failure and a previous history of heart-lung transplantation.
Percutaneous Left Ventricular Support With the Impella 2.5 Assist Device in Acute Cardiogenic Shock – Results of the Impella EUROSHOCK-Registry
The Impella-EUROSHOCK-registry evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Impella-2.5 percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) in patients with CS following AMI.
Aortic Arch Replacement with Moderate Hypothermia and a Modified Three-PUMP Circuit
The method preserved the auto-regulation of the cerebral blood flow without high vascular resistance.
The Occurrence of Shivering in Cardiac Arrest Survivors Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia is Associated with a Good Neurologic Outcome
We hypothesized that cardiac arrest survivors who develop shivering while undergoing TH are more likely to have intact central neurologic pathways and thus have better neurologic outcome as compared to those who do not develop shivering during TH.
