A prospective controlled randomized study of the use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to treat newborns with respiratory failure was carried out using "randomized play-the-winner" statistical method. In this method chance randomly assigning an infant one treatment or other is influenced by outcome each patient in study. If more successful, patients are assigned that treatment. group 12 infants birth weight greater than 2 kg met objective criteria for high mortality risk. One conventional...

Each year thousands of patients require extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for a variety respiratory, cardiac, and emergency reasons. The ECLS registry, Federal Drug Administration approved control group, provides database approximately 37,000 from domestic international hospitals, with details about demographic factors, diagnosis, treatment, complications. report is circulated to Extracorporeal Life Support Organization members the goal providing feedback on each center's practices relative...
We are developing a high performance double lumen cannula (DLC) for minimally invasive, ambulatory and percutaneous paracorporeal artificial lung (PAL). The Wang-Zwische (W-Z) DLC was designed insertion into the Internal Jugular (IJ) vein with drainage open to both superior vena cava (SVC) inferior (IVC) maximizing venous drainage. A separate collapsible but nondistensible membrane infusion right atrium (RA) achieves minimal recirculation allowing total gas exchange. W-Z prototypes made by...
Correct placement of the Avalon Elite Bicaval Dual Lumen catheter (Avalon Laboratories, LLC, CA) for single-site venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is safe using image guidance. Using this technique, 26 27 patients (96%) had uneventful cannula in right internal jugular vein. One patient a superior vena cava injury during serial dilation, and another required repositioning improved flows. We recommend both fluoroscopy transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) training...
Objectives: We sought to determine the long-term survival of patients treated for bronchial carcinoid tumors and whether lesser resections have had an effect on outcomes. Methods: conducted a retrospective, multi-institutional review surgically primary since 1980. Operative approach, pathologic stage, histology, surgical complications, tumor recurrence, were assessed. Results: There 50 men 89 women with mean age 52.2±17.4 58.9±13.3 years, respectively (P=0.021). Men more likely be current or...
Intracranial hemorrhage is a complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the treatment neonatal respiratory failure. A retrospective review 35 neonates treated with was performed; ten had intracranial hemorrhage. Infants lower birth weights and were gestationally younger than infants Eight eight less weeks' gestational age sustained Six died immediately after stopped. Two lived 1 year. 27 older 34 One child normal, other at 18 months age. Based on results this study, risk appears...
Patients with severe cardiac or pulmonary failure who require transport to specialized hospitals currently pose a challenge. Mechanical support in the form of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may increase safety transporting such patients an institution where they will have access advanced medical therapy. Over 2.5 years, 17 were successfully cannulated and placed on simplified ECMO circuit at other institutions transported via ambulance our hospital. Fourteen acute respiratory...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2 is an emerging viral pathogen responsible for the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic resulting in significant human morbidity and mortality. Based on preliminary clinical reports, hypoxic failure complicated by distress syndrome leading cause of death. Further, septic shock, late-onset cardiac dysfunction, multiorgan system are also described as contributors to overall Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation other modalities mechanical...
