Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Perioperative Care of the Lung Transplant Patient
Future studies will need to improve patient selection to fully take advantage of the use of ECMO in LT while minimizing its costs.
Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality in Adult Postcardiotomy Cardiogenic Shock Patients Successfully Weaned from Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Sequential organ failure assessment score might help clinicians to predict in-hospital mortality for patients successfully weaned from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Extracorporeal Resuscitation with Carbon Monoxide Improves Renal Function by Targeting Inflammatory Pathways in Cardiac Arrest in Pigs
Our data demonstrate improved renal function by extracorporeal CO treatment in a porcine model of cardiac arrest.
Antithrombin Supplementation in Adult Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Therapeutic anticoagulation occurred more frequently following antithrombin supplementation; however, this difference was not statistically significant. More bleeding events occurred following antithrombin supplementation while observing an increase in platelet transfusions.
Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Treatment of Malignant Hyperthermia
This suggests the potential for CPB or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a possible treatment for the symptoms of MH.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Pregnant and Postpartum Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be considered as an acceptable salvage therapy for pregnant and postpartum patients with critical cardiac or pulmonary illness.
Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Cardiogenic Shock: An Introduction for the Busy Clinician
We provide a practical review for cardiovascular clinicians on the application of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients with cardiogenic shock
Predictors for Acute and Chronic Renal Failure and Survival in Patients Supported with Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this study, we investigated the occurrence of acute and chronic kidney failure in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients as well as predictors for survival.
Outcomes of Infants Supported With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Using Centrifugal Versus Roller Pumps: An Analysis From the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry
In this propensity score–matched cohort study of 8,366 extracorporeal membrane oxygenation recipients weighing less than 10 kg, those supported with centrifugal pumps had increased mortality and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications.
Changing Risk of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Children Following Cardiac Surgery in Victoria, Australia, 2007–2016
The IHCA rate following cardiac surgery has more than halved over the last decade; children who experience IHCA also have lower mortality than in previous years.
Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Neck Cannulation: A Fixation Strategy Without Tourniquets
This article is focused on the peripheral neck cannulation technique.
Anticoagulation Management and Antithrombin Supplementation Practice during Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Worldwide Survey
There is large practice variation among institutions regarding anticoagulation management and antithrombin supplementation during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
