Ambulatory veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: innovation and pitfalls.
Jose P Garcia, Zachary N Kon, Charles Evans, Zhongjun Wu, Aldo T Iacono, Brian McCormick and Bartley P Griffith
Abstract
We present our early experience with an attempt to optimize extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, emphasizing reduced adjunctive mechanical ventilatory support and aggressive rehabilitation, with a goal of ambulation. This strategy has been enabled by the introduction of a dual-lumen draw and return... | PMID: 21924145
