Common problems and troubleshooting on ECMO run
The technological advances in ECMO have changed to enhance safety, accessibility and facilitate its use, contributing to decreased morbidity and improved survival of patients requiring ECMO support. Major advances in ECMO deployment paralleled advances in conventional CPB including cannulas, pumps, oxygenator bubble detectors and heparin bonded circuits which decrease platelet activation, circu...
متن کاملECMO or no ECMO: Do no harm.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used in the management of neonates with life-threatening cardiorespiratory diseases since 19821. Several studies have demonstrated that ECMO promotes normal survival in neonates with respiratory failure2-4. After decades of discussion, ECMO is now well accepted as a standard of treatment for neonatal respiratory failure refractory to conventio...
متن کاملTemperature Monitoring During Ecmo: An in Vitro Study
Methods Experiment A. We analyzed heat dispersion of an ECMO circuit (Maquet Rotaflow PLS System) at 36 combinations of blood flow (BF 1-3-5 L/min), gas flow (GF 0-510 L/min) and set temperature (T set 36-37-38-39 °C). In any condition, heat dispersion was considered equal to the power (Watts) generated by the heat exchanger at the steady state, defined as stable temperature throughout the circ...
متن کاملAn improved bladder for pump control during ECMO procedures.
A new inline reservoir called the Better-Bladder, now FDA-cleared for long term use, overcomes some disadvantages of the silicone bladder and bladder box used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits. The Better-Bladder provides compliance in the venous line and allows for noninvasive pressure measurements. Both features are useful for controlling pump speed as a function of venous line ...
متن کاملErythromycin Induced Nightmares
TO THE EDITOR: The word nightmare originates from the 13th century and is composed of night and mare, suggestive of an evil female spirit, afflicting sleepers with a feeling of suffocation, as they ride on their chests. Classified as frightening dreams that awaken the sleeper from rapid eye movement sleep, 1 nightmares impact sleep quality and are linked to various health problems. Likewise, ni...
