The X-COPD trial tested extracorporeal CO2 removal in COPD patients requiring invasive ventilation. Recruitment stopped at 18 of 192 planned patients. Ventilation duration was
This randomized single-center trial evaluated 65 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and found that adding the HA380 hemoperfusion cartridge reduced early
This single-center retrospective cohort study examined 229 neonatal and pediatric VA-ECLS patients and found that early hyperoxia was common, affecting 79% of cases. Severe
This international survey evaluates anticoagulation strategies in ECMO patients across 17 countries. Findings show unfractionated heparin remains the primary anticoagulant, while bivalirudin use is
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving intervention used for critically ill patients, yet it is frequently associated with high incidences of kidney injury.
This study examines risk factors affecting survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock (CS) treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Trendelenburg position and carotid ultrasound in predicting fluid responsiveness in VV-ECMO patients with ARDS in the prone position.
This study investigates the interactions between milrinone, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used in critically ill patients, and extracorporeal life support (ECLS) systems, specifically extracorporeal membrane
This systematic review and network meta-analysis investigates the comparative effectiveness of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO), cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and OffPump strategies for
This study explores the efficacy of using artificial intelligence (autoMAPSE) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to continuously monitor left ventricular (LV) function in postoperative intensive
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) emerges as a crucial lifesaver in critical care for patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. This review delves into
