Development of the orpheus perfusion simulator for use in high-fidelity extracorporeal membrane oxygenation simulation.
Despite its life-sustaining potential, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains a complex treatment modality for which close teamwork is imperative with a high risk of adverse events leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The provision of adequate training and continuing education is key in mitigating these risks. Traditional training for ECMO has relied predominantly on dida...
متن کاملUtile or futile: biomarkers in the ICU
Biomarkers complement other clinical information by proving quantitative data regarding a pathophysiological mechanism that can be used for the early diagnosis of a specific disease, to monitor and guide treatment, and to predict the risk of death or other adverse events. The stronger the link between the information provided by the biomarker and the immediate clinical course of action that we ...
متن کاملTherapeutic drug monitoring in rheumatic diseases: utile or futile?
Rapid and effective suppression of inflammation is a primary goal in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. However, the therapeutic effect of most medications may be slow to manifest, in the order of weeks or months in the case of DMARDs. Monitoring of drug concentrations allows the possibility of appropriate dose adjustment or changes in medication to achieve more rapid or better outcomes. We r...
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...
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 ...
