This study analyzed the mean cost of inpatient care for COVID-19 patients in the US from March 2020 to March 2022, finding an overall
This technical report details methods for performing dialytic therapies, such as intermittent hemodialysis (iHD) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), safely and effectively through
Patients with biventricular cardiogenic shock, ineligible for heart transplantation, may benefit from a micro-invasive hybrid BiVAD approach, combining the ProtekDuo cannula and the Impella
Machine learning models, specifically extreme gradient boosting and light gradient boosting, demonstrated higher accuracy than conventional models in predicting 90-day mortality for patients undergoing
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a life-saving technology for patients with cardiorespiratory failure unresponsive to standard treatments, has seen increased global use since the H1N1
The study investigates the impact of ECMO and CRRT circuits on meropenem pharmacokinetics, finding minimal extraction by ECMO components but rapid clearance during CRRT,
This study investigates the adsorption of propofol in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits, noting that drugs prescribed to ECMO patients often lack optimized dosing
Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurs in 1-6% of pediatric ICU admissions, with survival rates improving from 9% to 35% over the past 25
The abstract discusses the establishment of an Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) program in a high-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center, emphasizing patient selection and
We propose the creation of a multipurpose circuit that integrates multiple extracorporeal life support (ECLS) functions to cater to diverse medical needs. This innovative
After the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple reviews have documented the success of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Patients who experience hypoxemia but have normal contractility
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation serves as a crucial mechanical circulatory support for pediatric patients with severe heart diseases, but the mortality rate remains high.
