Exhaled Breath and Oxygenator Sweep Gas Propionaldehyde in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Background: Oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) due to neutrophil-derived reactive oxygen species plays a key role in the early stage of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Evaluation of Different Control Algorithms for Carbon Dioxide Removal with Membrane Oxygenators
Membrane oxygenators are devices that benefit from automatic control. This is especially true for implantable membrane oxygenators—a class of wearable rehabilitation devices that show high potential for fast recovery after lung injury.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), also known as extracorporeal life support (ECLS), can both be used to treat patients with acute pulmonary or cardiovascular failure.This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed on the topics of ...

Low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal in ARDS patients : a prospective short-term crossover pilot study [PDF]
Background: Lung protective mechanical ventilation (MV) is the corner stone of therapy for ARDS. However, its use may be limited by respiratory acidosis. This study explored feasibility of, effectiveness and safety of low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal (

Comparison of anticoagulation strategies for veno-venous ECMO support in acute respiratory failure
Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in acute respiratory failure may be lifesaving, but bleeding and thromboembolic complications are common. The optimal anticoagulation strategy balancing these factors remains to be determined.
