The Early Change in PaCO2 After Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Initiation is Associated with Neurological Complications.

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020
RATIONALE Large decreases in PaCO2 that occur when initiating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with respiratory failure may cause cerebral vasoconstriction and compromise brain tissue perfusion.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2008
ECMO is an important tool to provide oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal in addition to cardiac support for patients with intractable reversible respiratory or cardiovascular collapse unresponsive to conventional treatment. Even though ECMO can be a life-saving modality, it is expensive and labor-intensive and carries a significant complication ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

This dissertation focuses on the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a technique that can temporarily take over the function of the heart and/or lungs when these organs fail. ECMO is being used more frequently, for example in severe lung diseases such as COVID-19, or in patients with cardiac arrest who do not recover with conventional ...

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 ...

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.

Evaluation of Bivalirudin As an Alternative to Heparin for Systemic Anticoagulation in Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation*

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Heparin is the universal anticoagulant for patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. However, heparin has many disadvantages, especially in young children, who develop heparin resistance.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Trials

Pediatrics, 1990
The randomized trial reported by O'Rourke and coworkers1 (they call it a randomized study but why not call it what it is?) provides insight into the dilemma faced when trying to evaluate a therapy believed, rightly or wrongly, to be efficacious. The fact that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the ...
