Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for COVID-19: lessons learned
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the management severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) has been described. However, this complex patient population evolved over course pandemic, likely contributing variable outcomes. We report our adaptive experience managing patients on venovenous (VV) ECMO from a single institution with focus lessons learned.

The spread of the new Corona virus, known as COVID-19, has raised concerns and problems for many countries, and its out-of-China exposure is worryingly increasing. This trend is increasing in our country as well and has reached a critical point in some of the infected cities. This article attempts to provide appropriate strategies for controlling the virus for Iran based on the East Asia countr...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Cerebral perfusion temperatures during antegrade cerebral perfusion and their affect on cerebral metabolism and neurological outcomes are evaluated in this study. Young piglets were subjected to a period of hypothermic circulatory arrest at 20°C using alphastat pH management. Four study groups were then assigned to differing temperatures of selective cerebral perfusion. Lower perfusion temperat...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique that involves oxygenation of blood outside the body, and provides support to selected patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. The two major ECMO modalities are venoarterial and venovenous. Data from several randomised trials support the use of ECMO in neonatal respiratory failure, and a recent randomised controlled trial of ...

EDITOR,-The need for facilities to provide extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the newborn is as yet undetermined in the UK. To estimate the number of babies who may be candidates for this form of neonatal intensive care, we carried out a prospective study in the four Thames regional health authorities (June-November 199 1) and the Oxford Regional Health Authority (November 1991-Apri...
