Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assists blood circulation and gas exchange via a heart-lung machine. ECMO is used mainly in intensive care units as bridging therapy until heart and respiratory failure can be addressed or until transplantation can be performed. ECMO is sometimes used during surgery under general anaesthesia, depending on the patient's underlying diseases and the nature of the operation. If the oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal capacity are limited, venovenous (VV)-ECMO can be helpful. Here, we describe the use of VV-ECMO for surgical resection of an endotracheal mass through rigid bronchoscopy in a patient who developed decompensating dyspnoea due to central airway obstruction (CAO).

Purpose: With the development of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology, the duration of ECMO support has gradually increased, leading to an increased risk of ECMO-related bacterial resistance. Polymyxin B (PMB) is used to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections. However, the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of antibiotics may change during ECMO, resulting in over- or under-exposure.

Nitric oxide (NO) was proclaimed the 1992 "molecule of the year" by Culotta in Science magazine because of its importance in neuroscience, physiology and immunology. Inhaled NO has been in clinical use for over 35 years to decrease pulmonary hypertension and improve oxygenation. Over the last 20 years there has been much research to understand the role of nitric oxide on cell surface receptors, mitochondria, and intracellular processes which involve calcium and superoxide radicals.

Background And Objectives: The outcomes and characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary across geographic regions. The etiologies and prognoses of OHCA in Asian populations remain less established. This study aimed to investigate the etiologies and clinical characteristics of patients successfully resuscitated after OHCA and to identify predictors of survival outcomes.

Background: Albumin, a vital component in regulating human blood oncotic pressure, plays an important role in the prediction of prognosis in pediatric patients.Previous research identified significant differences in serum albumin levels of healthy and critically ill children.
Methods: The present study aims to investigate the correlation between albumin levels measured during pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) admission and clinical outcomes.
