Emergency Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Cardiopulmonary Failure
Artificial Organs, 09/23/09
Arlt M et al. – In all ECMO patients, oxygen delivery and systemic blood flow could be restored and vasopressor support was markedly down. Hospital survival rate in the PECLA group was 50%, and 61% in the ECMO group. Out–of–center emergency treatment of hypercapnic pulmonary failure with pumpless extracorporeal gas exchange and treatment of cardiac, pulmonary, and cardiopulmonary failure with this new hand–held ECMO device is safe and highlyeffective. Patient outcome in cardiopulmonary organ failure could be improved.
