Post-cardiotomy extracorporeal life support (PC-ECLS) in adult patients has been used only
rarely but recent data have shown a remarkable increase in its use, almost certainly due to …

Despite increasing improvement in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
technology and knowledge, thrombocytopenia and impaired platelet function are usual …

Purpose The purpose was to evaluate the safety of anticoagulation in venoarterial
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Design We performed a systematic …

OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a life-sustaining therapy for severe
respiratory failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits require systemic …

Despite expensive life-sustaining interventions delivered in the ICU, mortality and morbidity
in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) remain unacceptably high. Extracorporeal …

Purpose The association between extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use and
the development of thrombocytopenia is widely presumed yet weakly demonstrated. We …

Systemic anticoagulation is a standard of care in adult patients supported by extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to prevent circuit thrombosis and subsequent …

Rationale: Definitive guidelines for anticoagulation management during veno-venous
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) are lacking, whereas bleeding …

Since the last decade extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy has been
widely accepted as the treatment of life-threatening cardiac and pulmonary failure …

Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is a form of extracorporeal life support
(ECLS) largely aimed at removing carbon dioxide in patients with acute hypoxemic or acute …
