In a study comparing the effectiveness of Impella and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a study compared clinical outcomes of patients on ECMO support using polypropylene (PP) oxygenation membranes versus poly-methylpentene (PMP) membranes. It
This study utilized machine learning algorithms to predict acute brain injury (ABI) in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), analyzing data from the
In lung transplantation, the use of intraoperative mechanical support, particularly cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), has evolved over time due to
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 39 studies involving 6409 patients reveal that more than 50% of patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism (HRPE) treated
This study surveys clinicians across seven U.S. hospitals to understand the informed consent process for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and ethical complexities in its
This study investigates the impact of different operational modes of an extracorporeal blood pump (CentriMag) on blood flow patterns and the associated risks of
The study developed and validated RIETS, a machine learning-based system using 11 routine clinical and laboratory biomarkers to predict COVID-19 severity upon hospitalization, showing
In a study analyzing 37,473 VV-ECMO patients, machine learning was used to predict acute brain injury (ABI), revealing a 7.1% incidence of ABI and
This study compared prehospital care, in-hospital treatment, and outcomes among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing that survival
This review evaluates the use of Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as strategies to stabilize patients with post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR)
Six months after hospital discharge, patients with severe COVID-19 who received veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) showed persistent impairments in small airway function
