Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Cerebral perfusion temperatures during antegrade cerebral perfusion and their affect on cerebral metabolism and neurological outcomes are evaluated in this study. Young piglets were subjected to a period of hypothermic circulatory arrest at 20°C using alphastat pH management. Four study groups were then assigned to differing temperatures of selective cerebral perfusion. Lower perfusion temperat...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique that involves oxygenation of blood outside the body, and provides support to selected patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. The two major ECMO modalities are venoarterial and venovenous. Data from several randomised trials support the use of ECMO in neonatal respiratory failure, and a recent randomised controlled trial of ...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
EDITOR,-The need for facilities to provide extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the newborn is as yet undetermined in the UK. To estimate the number of babies who may be candidates for this form of neonatal intensive care, we carried out a prospective study in the four Thames regional health authorities (June-November 199 1) and the Oxford Regional Health Authority (November 1991-Apri...
متن کاملVasopressin After the Fontan Operation.
BACKGROUND Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation is common and increases morbidity and hospital length of stay. Vasopressin (VP), a neurohypophysial hormone, has numerous effects on the cardiovascular system. The most notable is increased peripheral vascular resistance, but it may also reduce capillary leakage by tightening endothelial intercellular junctions and reducing capill...
متن کاملleft ventricular mechanical support with the impella during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
background: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) provides systemic arterial support without directly unloading the left heart, which causes an elevated left ventricular (lv) pressure. the aim of the present study was to investigate the adjunctive application of the impella device for lv unloading in patients during ecmo. methods: this retrospective cohort study included patie...
