Objective: To describe mechanical ventilation settings in adult patients treated for an acute
respiratory distress syndrome with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and assess the …

Objective To evaluate clinical and treatment factors for patients recorded in the
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry and survival of adult …

BACKGROUND Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) is an
established salvage therapy for severe respiratory failure, and may provide an alternative …

The EOLIA randomised controlled trial, 1 which was published in 2018, did not show a
significant difference in its prespecified primary endpoint of 60-day mortality between the …

Purpose Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for patients
with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of this study was to evaluate …

Background Severe acute respiratory failure in adults causes high mortality despite
improvements in ventilation techniques and other treatments (eg, steroids, prone …

Since 1979, four randomized trials have studied the effectiveness of extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in respiratory failure. Zapol et al. found no difference …

Background The survival predictors and optimal mechanical ventilator settings in patients
with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) undergoing extracorporeal …

ARDS is characterized by a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema with bilateral chest
radiograph opacities and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy. It is a common cause of …

Purpose In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung recruitment could
be maximised with the use of recruitment manoeuvres (RM) or applying a positive end …
