ECMO IN THE NEWBORN

American Journal of Perinatology, 2000
Since the first use in neonates in 1974, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been a life-saving technology for newborns with respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO has been used to treat a variety of cardio-respiratory problems, including meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the neonate (PPHN), congenital ...

On “Not Recommending” ECMO

Hastings Center Report, 2020
AbstractThe neonatologist was describing the dire situation, the complexity of the fetus's anomalies, and the options—comfort care, some resuscitation—and finished by saying, “We would not recommend ECMO …” “We would not recommend” is a curious phrase.

An Update on ECMO

Neonatal Network, 2004
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 ...

Cardiac performance in ECMO candidates: Echocardiographic predictors for ECMO

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1992
Twenty-one neonates with severe respiratory failure, who met criteria in this center for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), underwent echocardiographic examinations to assess the role of cardiac dysfunction in determining the need for ECMO. The echocardiographic indexes of function included peak aortic and pulmonary flow velocity, aortic and ...

ECMO

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2018
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used for both cardiac and pulmonary failure when conventional measures are no longer substantial in supporting life. ECMO is not a permanent device. It is used as a temporary measure to allow the lungs and heart, as well as other organs to recover.

ECMO and Right Ventricular Failure: Review of the Literature

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2020
Right ventricular (RV) failure is the inability of the RV to maintain sufficient cardiac output in the setting of adequate preload, due to either intrinsic injury to the RV or increased afterload. Medical treatment of RV failure should include optimizing

ECMO cannula review

Perfusion, 2012
This paper reviews the basic fluid dynamics underlying extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannula design. General cannula features and their effect on flow are discussed and the specific requirements of different ECMO circuits are explained.
