Extra-corporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Single Center Experience
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate. We report our treatment results with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe ARDS patients. Patients and Methods: From December 2001 through July 2005, there were 10 patients receiving treatment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for ARDS and/or septic shock in our hosp...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique for providing life support, in case the natural lungs are failing and are not able to maintain a sufficient oxygenation of the body's organ systems. ECMO technique was an adaptation of conventional cardiopulmonary bypass techniques and introduced into treatment of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the 1970s. The initia...
متن کاملPredicting Survival of Patients with Lung Cancer Using Improved Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System
Introduction: Lung cancer is the main cause of mortality in both genders worldwide. This disease is caused by the uncontrollable growth and development of cells in both or one of the lungs. Although the early diagnosis of this cancer is not an easy task, the earlier it is diagnosed, the higher will be the chance of treating. The objective of this study was to develop an optimized prediction mod...

متن کاملImpact of statin therapy on mortality in patients with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) depends on ARDS severity: a prospective observational cohort study
BACKGROUND Previous investigations have presumed a potential therapeutic effect of statin therapy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Statins are expected to attenuate inflammation in the lungs of patients with ARDS due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Clinical investigations of the role of statin therapy have revealed contradictory results. This study aimed to inves...
