Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in pediatric ovarian tumors: a novel treatment approach
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been used in adults with ovarian carcinoma proving overall survival benefit in randomized trials, but measured in months.
Incidence of Hemolysis in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock Treated with Impella Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device
Impella assist devices have been increasingly used in cardiogenic shock (CS).
Cardioplegic or Fibrillatory Arrest for Correction of Partial and Intermediate Atrioventricular Septal Defects?
Certain congenital cardiac surgeries can be performed in ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) as an alternative to cardioplegic arrest.
Effectiveness and Safety of the Impella 5.0 as a Bridge to Cardiac Transplantation or Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device
Many patients with end-stage heart failure require mechanical circulatory support as a temporizing measure to enable multidisciplinary assessment for the most suitable therapeutic strategy.
Identifying Prognostic Criteria for Survival after Resuscitation Assisted by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
The objective for this study was to assess the clinical outcomes of children after ECMO cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and to determine pre-ECPR prognostic factors for survival to guide its indication.
The Complex Relationship of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Acute Kidney Injury: Causation or Association
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a modified cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit capable of providing prolonged cardiorespiratory support.
ECMO: Improving our Results by Chasing the Rabbits
With the support of experts from USA, Europe and Canada the results in Latin America ELSO'S centers are improving by following its guidelines for training, and using a standard educational process.
The Effect of an Improvement of Experience and Training in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Management on Clinical Outcomes
This study aimed to show that increased experience and improved teamwork through education may reduce the mortality rate associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Mechanisms and Perspective Therapeutic Approaches
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung inflammatory disorder with a 30-50% mortality. Sepsis and pneumonia are the leading causes of ARDS.
Awake Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients with Severe Postoperative Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of awake extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to increase the success rate of weaning patients from ECMO and ventilator care during treatment of postoperative severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Adults: Prognostic Factors for Outcomes
This study was aimed at investigating the prognostic factors for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-treated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adult patients.
Treatment of a Refractory Skin Ulcer Using Punch Graft and Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Combining platelet-rich plasma and skin graft enhances the efficacy of treating chronic diabetic wounds by enhancing healing rate and decreasing recurrence rate.
