Prognostic factors for non-asphyxia-related cardiac arrest patients undergoing extracorporeal rewarming - HELP Registry Study
2020
Objective: Extracorporeal rewarming is the treatment of choice for patients who had hypothermic cardiac arrest, allowing for best neurologic outcome. The authors’ goal was to identify factors associated with survival in nonasphyxia-related hypothermic cardiac arrest patients undergoing extracorporeal rewarming. Design: All 38 cardiac surgery departments in Poland were encouraged to report consecutive hypothermic cardiac arrest patients treated with extracorporeal life support. All variables collected were analyzed in order to compare survivor and nonsurvivor groups. The parameters available at the initiation of extracorporeal rewarming were considered as potential predictors of survival in …
Unfractionated Heparin Versus Subcutaneous Nadroparin in Adults Supported With Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: a Retrospective, Multi…
2021
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requires constant management of coagulation. Whereas unfractionated heparin remains the anticoagulant of choice, experienced centers report high bleeding rates. Biocompatibility of the extracorporeal circuit enables management of anticoagulation with subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparins only. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of anticoagulation with subcutaneous nadroparin compared with unfractionated heparin during respiratory ECMO in patients. We assessed for thrombotic complications and number of bleeding and life-threatening bleeding events. Additionally, we evaluated the change in resistance to flow in the …
