Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for 2009 Influenza A(H1N1) Severe Respiratory Failure in Japan
To evaluate procedures and outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy applied to 2009 influenza A(H1N1) severe respiratory failure patients in Japan.
Outcome of Patients with Profound Cardiogenic Shock after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Prompt Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support. A Single-Center Observational Study
Profound CS was associated with high mortality. Both successful weaning from ECMO and an APACHE II score might serve as outcome predictors for risk stratification.
