Carboxyhemoglobin predicts oxygenator performance and imminent oxygenator change in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
Intensive Care Medicine ExperimentalBackground The continuous exposure of blood to a non-biological surface during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may lead to progressive thrombus formation in the oxygenator, hemolysis and consequently impaired gas exchange.

Failure to oxygenate during cardiopulmonary bypass; treatment options and intervention algorithm [PDF]
The Journal of ExtraCorporeal TechnologyMembrane 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 ...

High pressure excursion in a radial design oxygenator [PDF]
The Journal of ExtraCorporeal TechnologyOxygenator high-pressure (HPE) is a phenomenon that can occur during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in which the oxygenator inlet pressure increases rapidly, thereby limiting flow. Most perfusionists globally do not use inlet oxygenator pressure monitoring

Sterility and oxygenator function in pre-primed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A prospective clinical study [PDF]
Resuscitation PlusAim: Minimizing cardiac arrest times is critical in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Pre-primed extra corporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) is used for this, but knowledge is limited to experimental studies.

Microbial Colonization of Oxygenator and Clinical Outcomes in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
ASAIO journal (1992), 2021 The importance of microbial colonization during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is unclear. We prospectively cultured ECMO oxygenators and retrospectively reviewed the culture results, clinical outcomes, and associated factors in 112 ECMO ...

Effect of Platelet Transfusions on Extracorporeal Life Support Oxygenator’s Function
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022 ObjectiveBleeding is a common complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), leading to increased mortality. Since one of its main complications is bleeding, platelet transfusions are frequently prescribed for children on ECMO.
