Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support under cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is the last option and may be offered to selected patients. Several factors predict outcome in these patients, including initial heart rhythm, comorbidities, bystander (CPR). We evaluated outcomes of all VA-ECMO patients treated within 5 years at our center respect low-flow duration during CPR.We report retrospective registry data on with eCPR a university hospital between October...

We sought to clarify the benefit of cytokine adsorption in patients with COVID-19 supported venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).We did a single-centre, open-label, randomised, controlled trial investigate adult severe pneumonia requiring ECMO. Patients selected for ECMO at Freiburg University Medical Center (Freiburg, Germany) were randomly assigned (1:1) receive using CytoSorb device or not. Randomisation was computer-generated, allocation concealed by opaque, sequentially...

Prone positioning (PP) reduces mortality of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The potential benefit prone maneuvers during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is unknown. aim this study was to evaluate the association between use support and ICU in a pooled population from previous European cohort studies.We performed individual patient data analysis studies which compared treated ECMO (Prone group) "conventional" management (Supine severe ARDS.889...

Prone positioning (PP) has shown to improve survival in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To this point, it is unclear if PP also beneficial for ARDS treated veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support. We report retrospective data of a single-centre registry requiring VV ECMO support between October 2010 and May 2018. Patients were allocated the group was performed during treatment or supine group. weaning success hospital analysed before...

Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is used to sustain blood and decarboxylation in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It under debate if V-V ECMO as appropriate for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) ARDS it influenza. In this retrospective study, we analyzed all patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A/B infection, ECMO, treated at our medical intensive care unit (ICU) between October 2010 June 2020. Baseline procedural characteristics well...

Hypercoagulability in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism necessitating systemic anticoagulation. Case reports of intracerebral hemorrhages ventilated COVID-19 patients warrant precaution. It is unclear, however, if with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or without veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (VV-ECMO) have more (ICH) compared to other ARDS patients.

An indication for dual antiplatelet therapy due to coronary stent implantation present considerable number of these patients. The objective this retrospective study was evaluate if (DAPT) significantly increases the high intrinsic bleeding risk VA-ECMO. Methods and Results A total 93 were treated with VA-ECMO between October 2010 2013. Average time 58.9 ± 1.7 hours. Dual given...

Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is a last resort treatment option for patients with acute respiratory failure (acute distress syndrome [ARDS]). Cytokine adsorption has been incorporated in the management of some these on an individual basis to control imbalance danger-associated molecular patterns and proinflammatory cytokines. However, little known about combination V-V ECMO cytokine as earlier reports contained mixed patient cohorts terms disease mode ECMO,...

Abstract Background Critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have a high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) that requires renal replacement therapy (RRT). A state hypercoagulability reduces circuit life spans. To maintain patency and therapeutic efficiency, an optimized anticoagulation strategy is needed. This study investigates whether alternative strategies for RRT during COVID-19 are superior to administration unfractionated heparin (UFH). Methods Retrospective cohort on...
