Abstract:BACKGROUND:
Systemic hemodynamics and specific ventilator settings have been shown to predict survival during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). How the right heart (the right ventricle and pulmonary artery) affect survival during venoarterial ECMO is unknown. We aimed to identify the relationship between right heart function with mortality and the duration of ECMO support.
METHODS:
Cardiac ECMO runs in adults from the Extracorpore… Show more
