Efficacy of peritoneal oxygenation using a novel artificial oxygen carrier (TRM-645) in a rat respiratory insufficiency model

“…Moreover, the Sham group showed cardiac arrest 5 min after pneumothorax and percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) have been used for blood gas exchange when the oxygenation of blood by a respirator was not suffi cient or when the excessive use of a respirator was not desirable because of the possibility of the destruction of normal lung tissues. [3][4][5][6][7][8] However, intravenacaval blood gas exchange devices result in many complications and require systemic administration of heparin.

Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: An Introduction for Emergency Medicine Physicians

“…It should also be noted that the oxygenation provided by VV ECMO might also be lower because the returning circuit blood enters the right atrium, and is mixed with unsaturated venous blood. At times, the maximum SaO 2 achievable may be as low as 80-85% (3,5,24).…”

“…Ekstrakorporal Yaşam Desteği (ECLS) çocuklarda ilk kez 1972 yılında Büyük Damar Transpozisyonu nedeni ile yapılan Mustard Operasyonu sonrası gelişen kalp yetersizliği için ve yenidoğan-larda ilk kez 1975 yılında mekonyum aspirasyonu nedeni ile gelişen pnömoni ve pulmoner hipertansiyon (PH) için Dr. Robert H. Bartlett tarafından kullanılmıştır (1)(2)(3). Günümüzde, maksimum tıbbi tedaviye yanıt vermeyen solunum ve/veya kalp yetmezliği bulunan yenidoğan, çocuk ve erişkin hastalarda kullanılan bir tedavi yöntemidir.…”
