This guideline article argues that extracorporeal life support device testing should follow standardized in-vitro protocols so results can be reproduced, compared across research groups,
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 study describes a pediatric ECMO staffing model using perfusionists supported by remote monitoring technology and hourly bedside rounding. Implemented at a high-volume center,
This review explores axillary artery cannulation as an alternative arterial access in veno-arterial ECMO. While femoral access is most common, it carries risks of
This study presents the development of a novel optical CO₂ sensor for use in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) systems such as ECMO and ECCO₂R.
This study evaluates the impact of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to lung transplantation (BTT) for patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
VA-ECMO provides critical cardiopulmonary support but increases left ventricular afterload, potentially leading to left ventricular distension (LVD). This literature review explores various clinical, hemodynamic,
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 study evaluates the mid-term outcomes of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock, identifying factors like preoperative EuroSCORE II,
This article serves as a primer on mechanical life support therapies, focusing on nonrenal extracorporeal life support for cardiac and pulmonary functions. It targets
