Increased Sedation Requirements in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Respiratory and Cardiorespiratory Failure
The aim of our study was to characterise the sedation requirements in adult patients receiving ECMO for cardiorespiratory failure.
Outcomes of Axillary Artery Side Graft Cannulation for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
To determine the safety, efficacy, and frequency of side graft axillary artery cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and compare it with other cannulation techniques.
Sequestration of Drugs in the Circuit May Lead to Therapeutic Failure During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This ex vivo study was designed to determine the degree of sequestration of commonly used antibiotics, sedatives and analgesics in ECMO circuits.
Side-Arm Grafts for Femoral Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation
We describe our experience with the use of a side-arm graft sewn to the femoral artery that facilitates adequate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flow while preventing lower extremity ischemia.
Arterial Chimney Graft Cannulation for Interventional Lung Assist
An interventional lung assist membrane ventilator (iLA) for arteriovenous extracorporeal CO2 removal was connected to a small-diameter femoral artery by use of a chimney graft in an underweight patient with acute respiratory failure and a previous history of heart-lung transplantation.
Aggressive Management of Massive Hemothorax in Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this study, we present the clinical results of using aggressive management to treat a consecutive series of patients on ECMO whose conditions were complicated by massive hemothorax.
Antithrombin Replacement During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Our objective is to determine ATIII's effect on anticoagulation and blood loss during ECMO.
Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fluconazole in Young Infants Supported with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This study determined the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole in infants on ECMO.
ASAP ECMO: Antibiotic, Sedative and Analgesic Pharmacokinetics During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multi-Centre Study to Optimise Drug Therapy During ECMO
This study was designed to describe the pharmacokinetics of the commonly used antibiotic, analgesic and sedative drugs in adult patients receiving ECMO.
Subclavian Insertion of the Bicaval Dual Lumen Cannula for Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We describe a method for cannula placement through the left subclavian vein that is well suited for smaller patients and convenient for patient mobility.
Lung Transplantation on Cardiopulmonary Support: Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Outperformed Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In a retrospective analysis, we compared the postoperative course and outcomes of patients treated using these approaches.
Percutaneous Left Ventricular Support With the Impella 2.5 Assist Device in Acute Cardiogenic Shock – Results of the Impella EUROSHOCK-Registry
The Impella-EUROSHOCK-registry evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Impella-2.5 percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) in patients with CS following AMI.
