Simple new risk score model for adult cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: simple cardiac ECMO score. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although the use of cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasing in adult patients, the field lacks understanding of associated risk factors. While standard intensive care unit risk scores such as SAPS II (simplified acute

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Management Of Cardiogenic Shock In Pediatric Patients [PDF]
Cardiogenic shock is an acute state of end-organ hypoperfusion following cardiac failure. Usually many children have good compensation if they suffered from cardiogenic shock and sometimes delay diagnosis leads to unfavorable outcome.
