| I guess somewhere between running between the kid on ECMO and trying to draw blood from an arm the size of my index finger, I just plum forgot about it. |
|
| Thus the panel recognized that further study on the use of ECMO itself is required. |
|
| The trial investigators interpreted the results as showing efficacy of ECMO when used for certain newborn illnesses. |
|
| Like the FDA, they also identified special risk categories like ECMO therapy used for premature infants. |
|
| The national ECMO centre in Leicester has five beds but all are being used. |
|
| Ten years ago, there were about a hundred cases of adult ECMO for lung failure reported to ELSO per year. |
|
| There is NO confirmatory harm data, even for therapies like ECMO, and yet here product replacement is recommended by the panel. |
|
| Use of ECMO would not be recommended by clinicians or in centers not experienced in its use. |
|
| The FDA safety assessment and the Health Canada safety assessment were finalized before this ECMO follow-up study. |
|
| After nine days on ECMO they had a trial to see if his body could manage coming off it and were amazed by how well he was doing. |
|
| According to Rudich, ECMO could also be used to obtain healthy pancreata from NHB donors. |
|
| He found one ECMO survival statistic, somewhere around seventy per cent. |
|
| My company doesn't make the kinds of products for those very unique, specialized patient populations, like ECMO, where the concern statements by Health Canada were focused. |
|
| Although fewer than 40 babies per year may be receiving ECMO in Canada, there are many complications and each baby could possibly use many kits in the course of one treatment. |
|
| Data on ECMO in infants beyond the newborn period is even more limited. |
|
| The highest priorities for further study in the Panel's opinion include: ECMO, haematolysis, intrauterine transfusions, TPN, oxygen therapy, IV therapy, particularly using blood products, IVIg, etc. and enteral feeding. |
|
| It will also be able to accommodate special devices like defibrillators electrocardiographs, echographs, a blood bank and an ECMO unit. |
|
| In particular, the ECMO treatment I received at Glen-field was crucial in keeping me alive. |
|
| Considering the stabilised haemodynamic situation, veno-venous ECMO was instituted the first day after admission. |
|
| This means that Deer Jet Medical becomes the only air ambulance operator in China with dedicated jets able to fly ECMO patients nationwide and overseas. |
