All in all, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy seems to be the best choice for almost all types of calculosis. |
So they switched her to an artificial-lung system known as ECMO — extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. |
Another method that may be applicable is the use of shock waves generated by extracorporeal lithotripters or lasers. |
I normally use these parts for special prototypes of filters and bioreactors, and dedicated extracorporeal tubing sets. |
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with extracorporeal warming is the gold standard treatment for patients with profound hypothermia. |
Another approach, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, uses shock waves to break up the stones into tiny pieces that can then pass easily out of the system. |
