Evidence and experience in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
I am in complete agreement with the comments of Morris et al 1 recently published in CHEST (October 2010) that studies unequivocally demonstrating the benefi ts of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in adult respiratory failure are lacking. One randomized trial using obsolete equipment and outdated intensive care practices is largely irrelevant to physicians practicing today. 2 A more ...
متن کاملInstitutional experience with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in lung transplantation.
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is currently accepted in lung transplantation either to bridge patients to transplantation or to treat postoperatively arising severe primary graft failure. Based on promising initial experiences we have since 2001 implemented ECMO as the standard of intraoperative extracorporeal support in lung transplantation (LuTX) patients with haemodyna...
متن کاملH1N1 Influenza Patient Saved by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: First Report from Iran
Respiratory failure is a serious complication of H1N1 influenza that, if not properly managed, can cause death. When mechanical ventilation is not effective, the only way to save the patient's life is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A prolonged type of cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO is a high-cost management modality compared to other conventional types and its maintenance requires sk...

متن کاملExtracorporeal 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...
