Echocardiography for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Echocardiography, 2022
AbstractExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides advanced cardiopulmonary life support for patients in cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Echocardiography provides essential diagnostic and anatomic information prior to ECMO initiation, allows for safe and efficient ECMO cannula positioning, guides optimization of flow, provides a modality ...

Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Critical Care Clinics, 2017
Extracorporeal life support is a modified form of cardiopulmonary bypass. Experience in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has come largely from the neonatal population. Most centers have transitioned the ECMO pumps from roller pumps to centrifugal technology.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in ARDS

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2019
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become a key tool in the management of cardiac and/or respiratory failure refractory to conventional management. Although ECMO has multiple indications, it has been widely studied for the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome in adults.

Mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
Transport of critically ill neonates in need of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be risky. Their extreme cardiorespiratory instability may delay or even preclude conventional transport to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation center. We report the use of a UH-1 helicopter specially adapted for mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support ...

Update on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2004
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) consists of the application of intermediate-term cardiopulmonary bypass for the treatment of potentially reversible heart and/or lung failure in the neonate, child, and adult. Applications in the neonate include congenital diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypertension, meconium aspiration syndrome, and pre- and

Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1995
Mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being offered by select ECMO centers in the United States. Mobile ECMO can be performed for the critically ill patient who is unable to be transported by conventional ambulance transport. This article discusses the logistics and safety considerations associated with mobile ECMO.
