Better Use of ECMO Saves Lives
2015 25 Mar
A life-support technology called ECMO that takes over for the failing hearts and lungs of critically ill patients saves lives. However, a new study has found that adults treated with ECMO were less likely to die when they were treated at hospitals caring for more ECMO patients per year. That is the key finding of the first large study in patients of... Read more

Measuring Blood Flow in the Brain May Predict Stroke or Hemorrhage in Children on ECMO
2013 12 Jun
Measuring blood flow in the brain may be an easy, noninvasive way to predict stroke or hemorrhage in children receiving cardiac or respiratory support through a machine called ECMO, according to a new study by researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Early detection would allow physicians to alter treatment and take steps to prevent these complications—the... Read more
Study Suggests New Role for ECMO as Rescue Strategy for Refractory Cardiac Arrest & Profound Shock
2013 20 May
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a procedure traditionally used during cardiac surgeries and in the ICU that functions as an artificial replacement for a patient's heart and lungs, has also been used to resuscitate cardiac arrest victims in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Now, a novel study of this technique in the U.S. has been completed... Read more
Shock Teams and ECMO Save Lives in Massive STEMI
2013 11 Mar
Dr. Michael Mooney talks about his 2013 ACC presentation (link to video below) The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), accompanied by mechanical CPR, in patients with massive myocardial infarctions can lead to unexpected survival. These study findings are being presented March 9 at the American College of Cardiology Scientific... Read more
