I read with great interest the article by Hermon and coworkers [1], who reported that surfactant application in children with severe respiratory failure treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was associated with improved lung volume and pulmonary mechanics. Although these findings must be confirmed in prospective studies, they are very promising. Based on a series of animal studies, m...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Life Support in Critical Care Medicine
W ITH THE INTRODUCTION of intensive care units in the 1960s an environment was established for aggressive patient care.

OBJECTIVES To conduct an exploration of the hospital costs of extracorporeal life support therapy. Extracorporeal life support seems an efficient therapy for acute, potentially reversible cardiac or respiratory failure, when conventional therapy has been inadequate, or as bridge to transplant, but unfortunately, no evidence in randomized controlled trials is delivered yet. DESIGN Single-cente...
