Extracorporeal life support
By Feilong Hei, Yulong Guan, Kun Yu
This book covers up-to-date knowledge of extracorporeal life support/ membrane oxygenation (ECLS/ECMO), which is performed as one special procedure that takes over the work of the lungs when they are too sick to properly support the body. ECLS has been recognized as one primary rescue strategy when the conventional treatments cannot reverse the process of cardiac dysfunction or respiratory dysfunction. During the recent years, ECLS has also been utilized as the bridge during peioperative organ transplantation, emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and chronic assistant devices such as left ventricular assist device.This book summarizes the major characteristics of technique, current status of implication and topics of development. Physiology and mechanism of ECLS is defined in the initial part of the book. Type and primary characteristics of ECLS, including instrument materials and monitoring methods are further introduced. Methods of cannulation, characteristics of patients and key-point of management during pediatric ECLS are included. ECLS has been recognized as one kind of novel CPR procedures, transport of ECLS, treatment of various complications with preventive strategy are demonstrated. Recent hot topics of ECLS and training perspective are also discussed.
The field of extracorporeal life support or membrane oxygenation (ECLS/ECMO) has seen significant advancements in recent years. This life-saving procedure is used when the lungs are unable to function properly and takes over their role to support the body. ECLS serves as a primary rescue strategy when conventional treatments fail to reverse cardiac or respiratory dysfunction. Additionally, it has been utilized as a bridge during organ transplantation, emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and for chronic assistance devices like left ventricular assist devices.
“Extracorporeal Life Support and Membrane Oxygenation: Current Status and Future Development” by Feilong Hei, Yulong Guan, and Kun Yu provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of ECLS/ECMO. The book covers various aspects of the technique, its current status of implication, and future developments in the field.
In the initial part of the book, the authors define the physiology and mechanism of ECLS, establishing a strong foundation for understanding the procedure. They delve into the types and primary characteristics of ECLS, including instrument materials and monitoring methods. The book also discusses methods of cannulation, patient characteristics, and key management points during pediatric ECLS.
ECLS is also recognized as a novel CPR procedure, and the book explores transportation of ECLS and treatment of various complications with preventive strategies. The authors highlight recent hot topics and provide insights into training perspectives in the field of ECLS.
