Conservative or liberal oxygen targets in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
Purpose Patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) frequently develop arterial hyperoxaemia, which may be harmful. However, lower oxygen saturation targets may also lead to harmful episodes of hypoxaemia.

Epidemiology of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
Background While venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) provides lifesaving support for cardiopulmonary failure, complications may increase mortality, with few studies focusing on ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke.

Antithrombin Levels and Heparin Responsiveness during Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Prospective Single-center Cohort Study [PDF]
Background: Unfractionated heparin, administered during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to prevent thromboembolic events, largely depends on plasma antithrombin for its antithrombotic effects.

An adolescent female with intentional ingestion of a large amount of metformin requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous renal replacement therapy [PDF]
Acute overdose of metformin can show potentially fatal lactic acidosis. Management should be directed towards close monitoring of renal function and hemodynamics.

Cardiogenic shock due to yew poisoning rescued by VA-ECMO: case report and literature review
Ingestion of leaves of the European yew tree (Taxus baccata) can result in fatal cardiac arrhythmias and acute cardiogenic shock. This cardiotoxicity derives from taxine alkaloids that block cardiac voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complications in Heparin- and Bivalirudin-Treated Patients
OBJECTIVES:. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a potentially life-saving intervention in refractory cardiopulmonary failure, but it requires anticoagulation to prevent circuit thromboses, which exposes the patient to hemorrhagic complications ...
