Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being deployed for selected patients in cardiac arrest who do not attain a native circulation with conventional CPR (ECPR). This ELSO guideline intended to be practical guide implementing ECPR and the early management following establishment of ECMO support. Where paucity high-quality evidence exists, consensus has been reached amongst authors provide guidance clinician. will updated as further this field becomes available.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has several applications as a resuscitative intervention, including extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). ECPR is rarely initiated in the emergency department (ED) by physicians outside regional academic institutions.To evaluate whether improves clinical outcomes after cardiac arrest when (EPs) nonacademic hospital.We performed retrospective analysis of prospectively identified consecutive EP-initiated ECMO subjects from single...
The goal of this study is to examine whether porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) exhibits antimicrobial properties in a standard vitro system, without pretreatment with acetic acid or extraction soluble proteins. Previous animal studies suggest that SIS may have inherent antibiotic properties. Using the guidelines for disk diffusion susceptibility testing by Bauer, 17/64-inch diameter disks made and gortex were compared antibiotic-impregnated against six organisms. zone inhibition was...
Introduction: Patients with implanted Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are being assessed by an increasing number of health care providers. Despite a lack evidence, many emergency medical systems and hospitals have discouraged providers from performing chest compressions in these patients when they present cardiac arrest. This deviation conventional resuscitation algorithms is secondary to concern that could dislodge the LVAD. Objective: To determine rate cannula dislodgment for...
