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 ...

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 ...

Packed red blood cell transfusion improved survival among adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation when using a hemoglobin threshold of less ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
