Cardiogenic shock is an acute emergency, which is classically managed by medical support
with inotropes or vasopressors and frequently requires invasive ventilation. However, both …

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has become increasingly popular as a salvage strategy
for critically ill adults. Major advances in technology and the severe acute respiratory …

Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used
successfully for treatment of cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The exact complication rate …

Background The mortality rate of severely ill patients treated with venoarterial extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remains unknown because of differences in patient …

This review highlights that ECPR is feasible for both IHCA and OHCA. In the recent series,
the outcome of ECPR in IHCA is satisfactory, with survival rates good with neurologic …

Fulminant myocarditis (FM) may lead to cardiogenic shock requiring veno-arterial
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Results of effectiveness studies of VA …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is life-saving for potentially reversible heart
failure and respiratory injuries not responsive to conventional therapies. Technological …

The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for temporary
mechanical circulatory support in various clinical scenarios has been increasing …

Background. Venoarterial ECMO is increasingly used in resuscitation of adult patients with
cardiogenic shock with variable mortality reports worldwide. Our objectives were to study the …

Background Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is often a self-resolving entity if the patient survives
the acute illness. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been …
