Ambulatory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has shown promise as a bridge to lung transplantation. The primary goal of ambulatory ECMO is to provide enough gas exchange to allow patients to participate in preoperative physical therapy. Various strategies of ambulatory ECMO are utilized depending upon patients' need. A wide spectrum of ECMO configurations is available to tackle this situation. We discuss those configurations in this article.

The Relationship Between Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Atherogenic Index with LV Geometry Pattern in Obese Children: Results from a Cross-Sectional Study in Serbia.

Arterial hypertension and increased atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) are strong predictors of cardiovascular risk associated in individuals with obesity both in adults and children. Thus, we aimed to explore the relationship between AIP and systolic ambulatory blood pressure index (sABPI) with left ventricular geometry pattern in obese children. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 129 obese children (BMI greater or equal to the 95th percentile for age and sex) were examined.

Introduction: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has increasingly been utilized to support patients in respiratory failure as a bridge to recovery or lung transplantation. As patients progress from cannulation to recovery or transplantation, it has been shown that physical therapy and ambulation are possible and beneficial for patient outcomes.
Methods: We sought to evaluate the feasibility of managing these ambulatory VV-ECMO patients in a non-ICU setting by conducting a single-center, retrospective cohort study to characterize the daily data collection (i.

Article Synopsis
- Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECCOR) systems help patients with severe respiratory failure, but their effectiveness is limited due to size and patient metabolic changes.
- A new prototype of a wearable ECCOR is presented that can adjust automatically to a patient's metabolic needs using exhaust gas CO levels as an indicator.
- Initial tests show this system can quickly adapt to changing conditions, paving the way for devices that support physical therapy and offer more independence to patients.
Article Synopsis
- Pump thrombosis is a serious complication after getting a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that can increase health risks and affect eligibility for heart transplantation.
- A case report highlights a new method using temporary, less invasive biventricular devices to support a patient with heart failure caused by LVAD thrombosis.
- This innovative approach may provide effective heart support while keeping patients mobile, which could improve their chances of successfully getting a heart transplant.

Purpose Of Review: Although lung transplantation stands as the gold standard curative therapy option for end-stage lung disease, the scarcity of available organs poses a significant challenge in meeting the escalating demand. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in ambulatory respiratory assist systems, selective anticoagulation therapies that target the intrinsic pathway, and innovative surface coatings to enable permanent respiratory support as a viable alternative to lung transplantation.
Recent Findings: Several emerging ambulatory respiratory assist systems have shown promise in both preclinical and clinical trials.
