Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Medical Journal of Australia, 2009Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique that involves oxygenation of blood outside the body, and provides support to selected patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. The two major ECMO modalities are venoarterial and venovenous.

Oxygen transport in membrane oxygenizers
Biomedical Engineering, 1985Mass transfer properties of the Soviet membrane oxygenator, MOCT, are tested. The liquid chambers of the oxygenator are made of disk membranes separating the moving blood from gas chambers. Processes of transportation and saturation of the blood film with oxygen are described by the simultaneous solution of the hydrodynamic and diffusion problem that ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
2012Summary For the last three decades, extracorporeal lung assist (ECLA) has been employed as a life-saving therapy in few highly-specialised centres. A deeper understanding of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) pathophysiology, improved technology and the positive results of recent trials have led to a reassessment of ECLA in the clinical setting.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Pregnancy
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2015Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may pose specific challenges in pregnant women, including the need for prone decubitus ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We present our experience with ECMO during pregnancy and review the literature on this topic.We performed a systematic literature review using the MEDLINE-NIH ...

EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION
Nursing Clinics of North America, 1997Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass used to treat critically ill patients with severe but reversible cardiac and/or respiratory failure. The severity of their symptoms, the rapid deterioration in their conditions, the difficulty in mechanical transportation, and the risks of traveling with an ECMO circuit ...

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
DeckerMed Transitional Year Weekly Curriculum™, 2018Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), also known as extracorporeal life support, is the practice of using circulatory assist devices and a gas exchange system to maintain sufficient tissue oxygen delivery, supplementing pulmonary and/or cardiac function in patients whose native physiology is too severely altered to be successfully supported ...

Oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer in membrane oxygenators
Medical & Biological Engineering, 1969Gas transfer in membrane oxygenators can be limited by the liquid dispersion or the membrane diffusion. If limited by liquid dispersion, the increase in average oxygen saturation of blood flowing in straight gas-permeable tubes is dependent upon the flow rate, the tube length, and the diffusion coefficient and independent of the tube diameter.

Predictors of membrane oxygenator failure in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Artificial OrgansAbstractBackgroundVeno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V‐A ECMO) is increasingly utilized in pediatric patients. Failure to recognize membrane oxygenator failure can lead to critical complications due to rapid deterioration of membrane oxygenator function.
