Perfusion and EuroELSO: A Revolution In Evolution – Indeed an ongoing evolvement – Online adaptation
This is the Editorial to a special issue of Perfusion on ECLS in cooperation with EuroELSO.
Multi-Modal Characterization of the Coagulopathy Associated With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Therapy protocols for treating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-associated coagulopathy should be further validated in large-scale prospective clinical investigations.
Factors Associated With Survival Following Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Children
Efforts to improve systemic output before and after institution of ECPR might mitigate some of the significant risk factors for mortality.
Multicenter Study on Postcardiotomy Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Center experience with postcardiotomy venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may contribute to improved results.
Pre-Intubation Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients at Risk for Respiratory Decompensation
Initiation of awake VV-ECMO is feasible and is safe before intubation and induction of anesthesia in patients at high risk for respiratory decompensation.
PaO2 Greater than 300 mmHg Promotes an Inflammatory Response During Extracorporeal Circulation in a Rat Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Model
These data demonstrate that it is better to avoid administration of too much oxygen during ECMO to attenuate lung injury linked to generation of superoxide and the systemic inflammatory response.
A Dual-Lumen Bicaval Cannula for Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This cannula introduces design qualities that may offer advantages for acute respiratory failure requiring venovenous ECMO.
ECMO as a Platform for Rapid Ammonia Removal in a Neonate With Multienzyme Urea Cycle Disorder
This case will add to the existing scant literature supporting the use of ECMO as a platform for rapid removal of serum ammonia.
Regional Planning for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Allocation During COVID-19
Drawing from a collaborative framework developed by one United States metropolitan area with multiple adult and pediatric extracorporeal life support centers, this article aims to inform decision-making around ECMO use during a pandemic such as COVID-19.
Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest during the Covid-19 Outbreak in Italy
The cumulative incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2020 was strongly associated with the cumulative incidence of Covid-19, and the increase in the number of cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest over the number in 2019 followed the time course of the Covid-19 outbreak
A Narrative Review of Antithrombin Use During Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Adults: Rationale, Current Use, Effects on Anticoagulation, and Outcomes
Antithrombin use in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation should be investigated on the threshold for supplementation, dose, and time of administration.
Platelet Count and Function during Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this review, we provide an overview of hemostatic alterations during ECMO, changes in platelet count and function, platelet monitoring techniques, bleeding risk, and future needs to best optimize patient management and care.
