Cerebral Oximetry is an optical technique that allows for noninvasive and continuous monitoring of brain oxygenation by determining tissue oxygen saturation (SctO 2). In conjunction with pulse ...

Bei schwerem COVID-19 kann sich ein akutes respiratorisches Distress-Syndrom (ARDS) entwickeln. Ist der Gasaustausch erheblich gestört, wird eine extrakorporale Membranoxygenierung (ECMO) erforderlich ...

ECMO is a life support system that can temporarily take over the work of the heart and lungs, providing the body with oxygen. It can allow the heart and lungs time to rest and heal. A person may ...

A notable proportion of patients receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory failure developed acute kidney injury (AKI), likely due to the greater severity ...

Many extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients experienced long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms, cognitive impairment, or functional impairment, a meta-analysis found. Fully 41% of ECMO ...

Eine Langzeit-VV-ECMO-Therapie (Median 49 Tage) benötigten 52 Patienten (38 %). 26 dieser Patienten (50 %) konnten aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen werden. Zu Beginn der ECMO-Therapie bestanden keine ...

Patients with severe COVID-19 who require venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) support can, if carefully selected and managed, obtain “exceptional survival” approaching 87% at 1 ...

Early application of prone positioning did not help patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -- mostly from COVID -- get off venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ...

Some patients with severe COVID-19 who are treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may experience significant lung recovery and return to normal lives with 'meaningful' long-term ...
