Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation [PDF]
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has now evolved into standard therapy for patients unresponsive to conventional ventilatory and pharmacological support. This article presents a clinical review of extracorporeal life support and its application to neonatal and pediatric patients as well as children requiring circulatory support after open heart ...

Membrane artificial lungs (oxygenators) are used in cardiopulmonary surgery as well as, in some cases, in severe lung disease to support the natural lung by means of ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). The oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer rates

Biofilm microbiome in extracorporeal membrane oxygenator catheters.
Despite the formation of biofilms on catheters for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), some patients do not show bacteremia. To elucidate the specific linkage between biofilms and bacteremia in patients with ECMO, an improved understanding of the
