Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Quo Vadis?

Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a form of artificial circulatory support, continues to evolve beyond its well-established neonatal applications. It is often the most aggressive aspect of treatment algorithms in the management of severe respiratory and cardiac failure. While its use is relatively infrequent and executed in a small number of centers, it remains an important supportive measure while organ function is preserved and restored. Refinements in equipment and techniques continue to develop; patient… Show more

“…[26][27][28] In the experiments here, almost all generated microbubbles after the application of sonication had diameters of 1.5 µm, which were considered as fine microbubbles, including nanobubbles, suggesting that sonication is a useful method to generate finer microbubbles with nanobubbles ( Figure 2B). Sonication may divide generated microbubbles into finer MNBs.…”

“…(1,2,7) Respiratory failure in children was the latest indication introduced for ECMO and use of ECMO for this group of patients has increased steadily, leveling off in the nineties, but recently it has been reported to be slightly increasing again. (2,8) The survival of pediatric respiratory ECMO is 50-55%. (8) There are no fixed inclusion criteria for pediatric respiratory ECMO, and ECMO is usually started if there is a high probability of a lethal outcome despite maximal conventional therapy.…”

“…(2,8) The survival of pediatric respiratory ECMO is 50-55%. (8) There are no fixed inclusion criteria for pediatric respiratory ECMO, and ECMO is usually started if there is a high probability of a lethal outcome despite maximal conventional therapy. Lung disease should be considered to be reversible; the patient should be mechanically ventilated for less than 14 days; and no other organs major complications (significant neurologic morbidity, ongoing hemorrhagic condition, or multiple organ system failure) should be present when starting ECMO.…”
