Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Southern African Journal of Critical Care, 2013
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being employed in South African intensive care units for the management of patients with refractory hypoxaemia and for haemodynamic support, particularly following cardiothoracic procedures. ECMO is expensive, however, and there is a danger that this rescue modality may be abused or utilised ...

Severe hypoxemia during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: exploring the limits of extracorporeal respiratory support

Clinics, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation for respiratory support has emerged as a rescue alternative for patients with hypoxemia. However, in some patients with more severe lung injury, extracorporeal support fails to restore arterial ...

Simulation Training on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation [PDF]

, 2016
Conventional extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) training usually only consists of didactic lectures and water drill of ECMO circuit. However, learners cannot “experience” changes of clinical condition of patients.

Echocardiography in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017
In this era of using imaging as a diagnostic modality for a better prognosis, a lifesaving procedure such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), too needs good imaging modality for success. The placement of cannulas and the right patient selection for ECMO, all requires echocardiography.

Silicon Membranes for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) [PDF]

, 2019
In cases of severe lung or heart failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy in which a patient’s blood is passed into a circuit outside of their body to provide respiratory support.
