Myocardial Perfusion and Cardiac Dimensions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Supported Circulation in A Porcine Model of Critical Post-Cardiotomy Failure
Coronary artery blood flow is maintained during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest despite severely affected performance of the left ventricle.
Survival Following Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Postcardiotomy Cardiogenic Shock Adults
Older age, left main coronary artery disease, and vasoactive inotropic score were associated with 36-month mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients who received venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Outcomes of End-Organ Function and Survival with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Maintaining perfusion with VA-ECMO utilization on indicated patients demonstrated improvements in end-organ functions. Survival rates of VA-ECMO patients were also optimistic.
Characteristics of Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Programs in the United States and Canada
The majority of pediatric ECMO centers have adopted the infrastructure recommendations from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. However, there remains broad variability of practice characteristics and organizational infrastructure for pediatric ECMO centers across the United States and Canada.
Protocol-Driven Daily Optimisation of Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Blood Flows: An Alternate Paradigm?
This staged approach to weaning VV ECMO allows us to fully utilise the “decoupling” of oxygenation and decarboxylation that is possible only during extracorporeal support.
COVID-19 and ECMO: An Unhappy Marriage of Endothelial Dysfunction and Hemostatic Derangements
It is the authors’ perspective that it is through the integration of diagnostic assessment of viscoelastic testing with dedicated management schemes, up to and including the titration of antifibrinolytic therapies, that unmasks the capacity of this technology to enhance clinical outcomes.
Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Teams for Organ Donation After Circulatory Death
This article analyses a potential mobile team organization based on the hub-and-spoke model, which already exists and functions in Italy, by estimating the dimension of the controlled DCD phenomenon in Italy, coordination requirements, costs, personnel training, and education, and reporting a single center experience in Milan, Italy.
Severe Shivering on Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Raising the Circuit Temperature to Stop Rhabdomyolysis: A Case Report
This case demonstrates therapeutic hyperthermia to treat infection-induced severe shivering and rhabdomyolysis while on ECMO.
Cytokine Adsorption in Severe Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Therefore, our data suggest that cytokine adsorption might be beneficial in patients with severe ARDS requiring V-V ECMO support.
Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Adult Survivors of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
The results of the study suggest that subclinical cerebral lesions are commonly found in patients with ECMO support.
Simple and Effective Blood Salvage Technique for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuit
We describe a simplified technique to salvage the blood in the ECMO circuit that requires no special equipment, is safe, and maximizes blood salvage.
Pathophysiology and Complications during Extracorporeal Circulation
We need to have a good knowledge of the pathophysiology and complications during extracorporeal circulation, as well as each component of the extracorporeal circulation system.
