Determination of insensible water loss and sodium accumulation behavior from the Medtronic Nautilus Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) oxygenator: An in vitro study [PDF]
Introduction: Fluid and electrolyte balance is closely managed in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. Neglecting oxygenator-related insensible fluid losses can distort fluid balance and electrolyte levels.

Accelerometer-based vibration analysis and oxygenator thrombosis in venovenous ECMO: an experimental porcine model [PDF]
Background Oxygenator thrombosis is a potentially life-threatening complication during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). It can cause blood flow obstruction, impaired gas exchange, hematologic abnormalities, or sudden ECMO flow ...

Failure to oxygenate during cardiopulmonary bypass; treatment options and intervention algorithm [PDF]
Membrane oxygenator failure remains a concern for perfusion teams. Successful outcomes for this low-frequency, high-risk intervention are predicated on having written institutional protocols for both the oxygenator change-out procedure as well as how ...

High pressure excursion in a radial design oxygenator [PDF]
Oxygenator high-pressure (HPE) is a phenomenon that can occur during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in which the oxygenator inlet pressure increases rapidly, thereby limiting flow. Most perfusionists globally do not use inlet oxygenator pressure monitoring

Effect of Platelet Transfusions on Extracorporeal Life Support Oxygenator’s Function
ObjectiveBleeding is a common complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), leading to increased mortality. Since one of its main complications is bleeding, platelet transfusions are frequently prescribed for children on ECMO.
