Modified ultrafiltration postextracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

چکیده
Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been widely used for the removal of extracellular water in the immediate postcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) period. The reported benefits of this technique are improved hematological status and hemodynamic stability post-CPB, as well as a decrease in blood utilization during the operation. MUF has also been associated with improved pulmonary status along with enhanced myocardial performance. With these benefits in mind, we have explored the possible advantages of using MUF following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The theoretical advantages of using MUF post-ECMO are the reduction of blood use prior to removal from ECMO for optimization of hemoglobin levels, improved pulmonary compliance decreasing the duration of ventilatory support, improved myocardial function, as well as the other reported benefits described with MUF post-CPB. This report communicates the technique used to perform MUF post-ECMO, as well as a simple MUF circuit design for use in the intensive care unit setting.

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) is a method which can be used for nanoscale coating and surface functionalization of a material. LbL technique mainly uses the electrostatic attracting between charged materials (polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles, etc.) and an oppositely charged surface. In this study, protein separation (BSA) from lactose solution was carried out using the LbL self-assembly method, which was...

Patients needing the assistance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at risk of hemodilution and, in some instances, may require exposure to large amounts of allogeneic blood products. Patient outcomes can be improved by taking steps to reduce transfusions and hemodilution. Currently, modified ultrafiltration (MUF) is used across the world to reduce hemodilution after cardiopulmona...
