The Role of Shunt Occlusion During Extracorporeal Life Support

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2023
Introduction: The current recommendation for systemic to pulmonary artery shunt (SPS) patients requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is to keep the shunt open, maintaining a higher pump flow.

Ambulatory home wearable lung: progress and future directions

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was first implemented as an extension of cardiopulmonary bypass technology. The early use of ECLS in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was discouraging, likely due to limitations of technology ...

Inter-Hospital Transportation of Patients on Extracorporeal Life Support: A Single Center Experience [PDF]

Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2014
Background: Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is an effective life-saving tool for patients in refractory cardiac or respiratory failure. Although transportation of patients on ECLS is challenging, it is necessary in some instances.

Role of ECLS in Managing Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) and the preoperative use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to surgery. Methods:

Quantitative Analysis of Clot Deposition on Extracorporeal Life Support Membrane Oxygenators Using Digital and Scanning Electron Microscopy Imaging Techniques

Bio-Protocol, 2023
Device-induced thrombosis remains a major complication of extracorporeal life support (ECLS). To more thoroughly understand how blood components interact with the artificial surfaces of ECLS circuit components, assessment of clot deposition on these ...

ECLS supported transport of ICU patients: does out-of -house implantation impact survival?

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021
Background Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is an established tool to stabilize severely ill patients with therapy-refractory hemodynamic or respiratory failure. Recently, we established a mobile ECLS retrieval service at our institution. However, data

Electrocardiogram-synchronized pulsatile extracorporeal life support preserves left ventricular function and coronary flow in a porcine model of cardiogenic shock. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly being used to treat rapidly progressing or severe cardiogenic shock. However, it has been repeatedly shown that increased afterload associated with ECLS significantly diminishes left ...

Trends in Veno‐Arterial Extracorporeal Life Support With and Without an Impella or Intra‐Aortic Balloon Pump for Cardiogenic Shock

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Mechanical circulatory support devices, such as the intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella, are often used in patients on veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA‐ECLS) with cardiogenic shock despite limited supporting clinical ...
