ECMO use in Germany: An analysis of 29,929 ECMO runs
Background Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) use is increasing despite limited evidence. The aim of this study was to demonstrate heterogeneity of ECMO use and its association with hospital size and annual frequency in Germany. Methods This is a database analysis of all ECMO cases in Germany from 2010 to 2016 using the German Diagnosis ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is essentially a heart-lung bypass machine that can be used to support certain critically ill neonates. ECMO therapy reached a peak in usage in the mid to late 1980s. At that time, ECMO was most often used for severe complications of persistent pulmonary hypertension, meconium aspiration, congenital ...

The ECMO specialist’s role in troubleshooting ECMO emergencies
Whether a patient still has native lung function or not, respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) complications need an immediate response from the ECMO team assigned to the patient. Methodological troubleshooting can be a key aspect to responding to an ECMO emergency if the cause of the issue is not clearly identifiable.

Awake ECMO and mobilizing patients on ECMO [PDF]
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving technology in critically ill patients who present with cardiac/pulmonary/combined cardiopulmonary failure. These patients are the sickest of all patients in any critical care unit and will invariably have a prolonged course and rehabilitation.

Sepsis is being recognized as an important complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its presence is a poor prognostic marker and increases the overall mortality. The survival rate differs in the various types of cannulation techniques. Adult patients with prolonged duration of ECMO constitute the major risk population.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is becoming increasingly utilized to manage neonates with cardiac and respiratory failure. The procedure involves extensive anticoagulation in a sick neonate with underlying disease pathology. In addition, the immature hemostatic system in the neonate adds to the complexity of titrating the necessary ...

Cerebral and Peripheral Tissue Oxygenation in Children Supported on ECMO for Cardio-Respiratory Failure [PDF]
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for patients with cardio-respiratory failure. Establishing, maintaining and weaning from ECMO may increase the risk for intracranial injury.
