Update on the Extracorporeal Life Support

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2015
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a type of cardiopulmonary bypass. It is an artificial means of supplying oxygen and removing CO2 on behalf of damaged lungs while patients are recovering from underlying diseases. Recently, the use of ECLS is rapidly increasing as this machine becomes smaller, less invasive and easier to use.

Extracorporeal Life Support in Respiratory Failure

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2022
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has a role in different types of respiratory failure including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), decompensated pulmonary hypertension, bridge to lung transplantation, and primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation. ECLS in ARDS allows for lung-protective ventilation with the goal to reduce the risk

The peripheral cannulas in extracorporeal life support [PDF]

Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik, 2018
Abstract Femoral cannulation is a minimally invasive method which is an alternative method for central cannulation. This review focuses on the parameters and features of the available peripheral cannulas. Nowadays there exist many peripheral cannulas in a variety of sizes, configurations and lengths to meet the specific needs of the ...
