ECMO or no ECMO: Do no harm.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used in the management of neonates with life-threatening cardiorespiratory diseases since 19821. Several studies have demonstrated that ECMO promotes normal survival in neonates with respiratory failure2-4. After decades of discussion, ECMO is now well accepted as a standard of treatment for neonatal respiratory failure refractory to conventio...
متن کاملAn improved bladder for pump control during ECMO procedures.
A new inline reservoir called the Better-Bladder, now FDA-cleared for long term use, overcomes some disadvantages of the silicone bladder and bladder box used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits. The Better-Bladder provides compliance in the venous line and allows for noninvasive pressure measurements. Both features are useful for controlling pump speed as a function of venous line ...
متن کاملRisk predictors of infection and mortality in population of cardiac surgery patients on ecmo therapy.
Methods Retrospective trial involving 149 adult cardiac surgery patients undergoing va-ECMO therapy between 2008 and 2012. The variables considered as possible risk factors at baseline were sex, age, BMI, immune suppression therapy (IST), SAPS II score, circumstances of ECMO implantation (OR, not OR) and SIRS. For the effect of baseline variables for time to death and on the risk of infection s...
متن کاملImaging adults on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used in adults following failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass, after cardiac surgery or in cases of severe respiratory failure. Knowledge of the different types of ECMO circuits, expected locations of cannulas and imaging appearance of complications is essential for accurate imaging interpretation and diagnosis. Commonly en...
متن کاملCommon problems and troubleshooting on ECMO run
The technological advances in ECMO have changed to enhance safety, accessibility and facilitate its use, contributing to decreased morbidity and improved survival of patients requiring ECMO support. Major advances in ECMO deployment paralleled advances in conventional CPB including cannulas, pumps, oxygenator bubble detectors and heparin bonded circuits which decrease platelet activation, circu...
