BACKGROUND The investigators compared a series of adult survivors of severe H1N1 pneumonia treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with members of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry for patients with H1N1 with regard to ventilator management while on ECMO. METHODS Adults who survived ECMO were compared regarding time on ECMO for those treated with the Volume...
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to present our experience with short-term mechanical circulatory support by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). A series of cases is described involving patients with symptoms of severe cardiogenic shock successfully treated with V-A ECMO. CASE REPORTS Depending on indications, veno-venous (V-V) or veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO can be u...
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been successfully used as a method for the interhospital transportation of critically ill patients. In South Korea, a well-established ECMO interhospital transport system is lacking due to limited resources. We developed a simplified ECMO transport system without mechanical ventilation for use by public emergency medical services. METH...
BACKGROUND Incidence and impact on adult patients' outcomes of nosocomial infections (NIs) occurring during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support for refractory cardiogenic shock have rarely been described. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of a large series of patients who received VA-ECMO in our intensive care unit (ICU) from January 2003 through De...
The benefit of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cases of high-risk congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) was studied by comparing pre-ECMO (1987-1990) and post-ECMO (1991-1994) 3-month survival statistics. Fifty-five CDH patients who presented in respiratory distress within 6 hours after birth were referred--18 in the pre-ECMO era and 37 in the ECMO era. During the entire study per...
BACKGROUND Even though bleeding and thromboembolic events are major complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), data on the incidence of venous thrombosis (VT) and thromboembolism (VTE) under ECMO are scarce. This study analyzes the incidence and predictors of VTE in patients treated with ECMO due to respiratory failure. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients treated on E...
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe acute respiratory failure (ARF) in adults is growing rapidly given recent advances in technology, even though there is controversy regarding the evidence justifying its use. Because ECMO is a complex, high-risk, and costly modality, at present it should be conducted in centers with sufficient experience, volume, and expertise to e...
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate. We report our treatment results with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe ARDS patients. Patients and Methods: From December 2001 through July 2005, there were 10 patients receiving treatment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for ARDS and/or septic shock in our hosp...
BACKGROUND: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is still a condition associated with a high mortality, and many patients require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as rescue therapy. Beneficial effects of surfactant and perflubron lavage have been reported. However, pure surfactant supplementation has not been proven to be beneficial in the most severe forms of MAS. This study was perfor...
BACKGROUND Utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has increased worldwide, but its use remains restricted to severely ill patients, and few referral centers are properly structured to offer this support. Inter-hospital transfer of patients on ECMO support can be life-threatening. In this study, we report a single-center experience and a systematic review of the available publ...
