Alternative position of cannulae in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for maintaining sufficient flow support
Blood flow disturbance of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) can be a risk factor of weaning failure. We report an alternative position of cannulae of VV-ECMO which can maintain blood fl...

Open AccessThe Association between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Sarcopenia in U.S. Adults
One pathophysiological sign of sarcopenia is chronic inflammation. Given that levels of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) are increased in chronic inflammation, we evaluated the association between incre...

Veno–veno–arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory distress syndrome with septic-induced cardiomyopathy due to severe pulmonary tuberculosis
We describe the rare experience of veno–veno–arterial (VVA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome and septic-induced cardiomyopathy due to pulmonary t...

The Ability of Stroke Volume Variation Measured by a Noninvasive Cardiac Output Monitor to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Mechanically Ventilated Children
Continuous noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) is a clinically useful tool in the pediatric setting. This study compared the ability of stroke volume variation (SVV) measured by NICOM with that of re...

Respiratory Variation in Aortic Blood Flow Velocity as a Predictor of Fluid Responsiveness in Children After Repair of Ventricular Septal Defect
This study aimed to compare respiratory variation in transthoracic echo-derived aortic blood flow velocity (∆Vpeak) and inferior vena cava diameter (∆IVCD) with central venous pressure (CVP) as predictors of f...
