A special cause of acute coronary syndrome in patients supported with VA ECMO Open
A transesophageal echocardiography was performed for a patient supported with peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) for his acute decompensated heart failure. One of the main aims of echocardiography was to…

Clinical use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Open
With advances in mechanical circulation, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has become an established technique to provide cardiopulmonary support for patients with cardiovascular collapse. This article reviews the physiologi…

Clinical use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Open
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been used clinically for more than 40 years. The technique provides respiratory and/or circulatory support via venovenous and veno-arterial configurations, respectively. We review the basic physiolog…

Metformin-associated lactic acidosis requiring intensive care in a regional hospital in Hong Kong and predictive factors for mortality Open
Metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) has estimated the incidence of 3-9/100,000 patient-years [1] and mortality rate ranging from 9.1% to 61% with inconsistent prognostic factors [1-3] [Table 1].Patients admitted to Intensive Care U…

Experiences with continuous venovenous hemofiltration using 18mmol/l predilution citrate anticoagulation and a phosphate containing replacement solution Open
Regional citrate anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy is associated with a longer filter-life, less bleeding events and improved mortality. Problems associated with using Prismocitrate 10/2 solution in continuous renal …
