Extracorporeal management of poisonings.
Extracorporeal methods have been an integral part in the management of poisonings. The elimination of a drug or toxin by extracorporeal techniques (ECT) is governed by the properties of the toxin and the chosen extracorporeal therapy. The various ECT include hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, continuous renal replacement therapy and ...

Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
AbstractECPR is defined as the rapidly-deployed application of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, in patients with cardiac arrest, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation before the return of ROSC. ECPR is one of the most rapidly growing segments of ECLS, and is becoming more widespread.

Temporary RVAD support following HM3 LVAD is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Temporary RVAD support occurs most frequently in INTERMACS 1 or 2 patients and those who require pre‐operative VA‐ECMO. In addition to higher post‐operative mortality, a significantly higher risk of both dialysis and stroke at 1 year post‐implant was observed in ...

MANNITOL AND EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION
SUMMARY An investigation of the effects of mannitol has been carried out to evaluate its routine use in open-heart surgery. An in vitro study suggested that increased osmolarity produced by the drug reduced mechanical hemolysis. This was not confirmed in a controlled clinical study when mannitol was used in the pump prime.

Abstract Aims Donation after circulatory death (DCD) has emerged as a strategy to increase the donor pool for heart transplantation (HT). Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients represent a discrete and unique population. We sought to explore the early outcomes of DCD‐HT compared with donation after brain death (DBD) HT in LVAD patients. Methods

Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Dermatology
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy or photopheresis is an immunomodulatory therapy that combines leukapheresis with phototherapy. Blood from the patient is processed to give a leukocyte-rich plasma, which is then treated ex vivo with a photosensitizer and ultraviolet A radiation before reinfusion back into the patient.
