Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 1991Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a means of diverting a fraction or all of the circulation through a device that permits gas exchange across a permeable membrane. The site of removal and the site of return of blood are dictated primarily by practical considerations based on the volume of flow of blood to be diverted and whether a ...

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Respiratory Care, 2023The utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiopulmonary support continues to increase globally, with > 190,000 ECMO cases reported to the international Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry. The present review aims to synthesize important contributions to the literature surrounding the management of mechanical ...

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1992Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is still a relatively new technology that has recently achieved recognition after initial clinical disappointment in the late 1970s. At present, it is considered standard therapy for the full-term infant with PPHN who fails CMV and extraordinary, heroic therapy for older children and adults with ARF or cardiac ...

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2008ECMO 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
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 ...
