This first, community-wide ECMO-facilitated resuscitation program in the US demonstrated 100% successful cannulation, 43% functionally favorable survival rates at hospital discharge and 3 months, as well as safety. The program provides a potential model of this approach for other communities.
High-flow (> 3.0 L/min(2)), high-pressure (> 70 mmHg), normothermic CPB using pulsatile flow and blood cardioplegia is thought to offer the best outcome to the fetus, although data to support these claims are not compelling.
Intraoperative hyperoxia significantly was associated with the risk of AKI after cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass.
