Advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenator design for artificial placenta technology. [PDF]
Extreme prematurity, defined as a gestational age of fewer than 28 weeks, is a significant health problem worldwide. It carries a high burden of mortality and morbidity, in large part due to the immaturity of the lungs at this stage of development.

Biofilm microbiome in extracorporeal membrane oxygenator catheters. [PDF]
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

Anticoagulation Therapy during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator Support in Pediatric Patients [PDF]
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a salvage therapy for critically ill patients. Although ECMO is becoming more common, hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications remain the major causes of death in patients undergoing ECMO treatments ...

Failure to oxygenate during cardiopulmonary bypass; treatment options and intervention algorithm [PDF]
Membrane oxygenator failure remains a concern for perfusion teams. Successful outcomes for this low-frequency, high-risk intervention are predicated on having written institutional protocols for both the oxygenator change-out procedure as well as how ...

Accelerometer-based vibration analysis and oxygenator thrombosis in venovenous ECMO: an experimental porcine model [PDF]
Background Oxygenator thrombosis is a potentially life-threatening complication during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). It can cause blood flow obstruction, impaired gas exchange, hematologic abnormalities, or sudden ECMO flow ...
