Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cystic fibrosis [PDF]

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2014
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a potential form of therapy in cystic fibrosis. We discuss this form of treatment, particularly in relation to respiratory failure secondary to influenza in a patient with cystic fibrosis whose condition deteriorated post partum.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in Trauma Patients

2023
Although the first successful use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in adults was reported in post-traumatic respiratory failure, trauma has been traditionally considered a relative contraindication to ECLS due to the possible complications. In recent years, however, technological improvement and a better pathophysiological understanding led to ...

Evaluation of silicon membranes for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Biomedical Microdevices, 2018
While extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a valuable therapy for patients with lung or heart failure, clinical use of ECMO remains limited due to hemocompatibility concerns with pro-coagulatory hollow fiber membrane geometries. Previously, we demonstrated the feasibility of silicon nanopore (SNM) and micropore (SμM) membranes for transport ...

Pharmacotherapy in neonatal and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Current Drug Metabolism, 2012
ECMO support is an established life saving therapy for potentially reversible respiratory and/or cardiac failure. Improvement of outcome depends on effective treatment of the primary diagnosis and complications. Adequate drug therapy is important in reaching these goals.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Cannulation

2018
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a system where an external circuit carries venous blood from the patient to a gas-exchange device (oxygenator), which enriches the blood with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide and returns it to the patient circulation.

An overview of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Paediatrics and Child Health, 2011
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used for unresponsive cardiorespiratory failure in neonates, children and adults. There is good evidence of its efficacy in neonates and adults and as such it is reasonable that children are referred for ECMO when faced with severe cardiorespiratory failure.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for non‐ECMO intensive care nurseries

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1990
AbstractAn extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centre has been established in the sole outborn‐only level 3 nursery in Melbourne. In the absence of other guidelines, an infant may qualify for ECMO if the expected mortality, based on assessment of the severity of hypoxia, exceeds 80%.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as lung or heart assist

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1996
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may serve as extracorporeal lung assist (ECLA) in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) or as extracorporeal heart assist (ECHA) in patients with low output syndrome (LOS) after open heart surgery. From 1988 to 1992 seven patients underwent ECMO in our hospital; four suffered from ARF and three from ...

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for Neonatal Respiratory Failure

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1992
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been a successful treatment (82% survival) in over 5000 neonates with severe respiratory failure (80% predicted mortality without ECMO). ECMO is prolonged extracorporeal cardiopulmonary bypass achieved by extrathoracic vascular cannulation using a modified heart-lung machine.

Follow-up in Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 1995
In 34 survivors of the first 43 ECMO patients from our institution before discharge to another hospital or home an EEG, BAER, Head Ultrasonography, cerebral CT scan, Dubowitz score and ophthalmological inspection were performed. At one year of age Mental Developmental Index of the Bayley scales, Motor Quotient as well as pulmonary and neurological ...
