Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used for> 40 years to support
lung and heart failure; however, bleeding and thrombosis remain serious complications. The …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenators are used in critical care for the management of
severe respiratory and cardiac failure. Activation of the coagulation system is initiated by the …

Iron metabolism and tumor biology are intimately linked. Iron facilitates the production of
oxygen radicals, which may either result in iron-induced cell death, ferroptosis, or contribute …

Rationale: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use has exploded over the last
decade. However, it remains invasive and associated with significant complications …

Background Acute cerebral complications (ACC) of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (VA-ECMO) are associated with poor long-term neurologic outcome. We …

The diagnostic approach to patients with intravascular haemolysis remains challenging,
since no first-line laboratory test seems to be entirely suitable for the screening of this …

Though extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides life-saving support, this
intervention exposes patients to certain risks. Circulating free hemoglobin (fHb) resulting …

Objectives: Hemolysis is a known complication of pediatric extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation associated with renal failure and mortality. We sought to identify predictors of …

Oxidative stress is a frequent condition in critically ill patients, especially if exposed to
extracorporeal circulation, and it is associated with worse outcomes and increased mortality …

Intravascular hemolysis with elevated plasma-free hemoglobin (PFH) complicates
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In 50 consecutive pediatric cardiac patients …
