Introducing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for healthcare professionals: the importance of a basic theoretical course
Methods A basic six-hour theoretical course on ECMO was taught to a heterogeneous audience formed by 12 medical students, 10 nurses, 4 perfusionists and 4 physicians. Content included the following topics: 1) concept of ECMO; 2) usage scenarios; 3) aspects of the circuit; 4) differences between pulmonary and cardiac ECMO; 5) management of patients on ECMO; 6) aspects of cannulation; 7) complica...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) reconsidered.
The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is controversial, notwithstanding the recent publication of the results of the CESAR (Conventional Ventilation or ECMO for Severe Adult Respiratory Failure) trial. Using Bayesian meta-analytic methods from three randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of ECMO in ARDS, we estimat...
متن کاملNeonatal respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) referrals.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex technique for providing life support in neonatal respiratory failure. T UK Collaborative ECMO trial demonstrated cost-effectiveness and substantial improvements in neurological morbidity and mortality. Currently, infants requiring ECMO in Ireland are referred to one of various centres in the UK and Scandinavia. We aimed to review the numbe...
متن کاملImaging adults on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used in adults following failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass, after cardiac surgery or in cases of severe respiratory failure. Knowledge of the different types of ECMO circuits, expected locations of cannulas and imaging appearance of complications is essential for accurate imaging interpretation and diagnosis. Commonly en...
متن کاملVenovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) using a double-lumen cannula.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can support neonates with severe respiratory failure. Currently, the most common application of ECMO requires venoarterial access. Venovenous (VV) ECMO is desirable to avoid common carotid artery ligation. However, the best technique of venous access for VV ECMO is not established. Using a single cannula with a double-lumen (DLC) in the right atrium fo...
