Journal ArticleDOI
Association of hospital-level volume of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cases and mortality: Analysis of the extracorporeal life support organization registry
Ryan P. Barbaro,Folafoluwa O. Odetola,Kelley M. Kidwell,Matthew L. Paden,Robert H. Bartlett,Matthew M. Davis,Gail M. Annich +6 more
TL;DR: In this international, case-mix-adjusted analysis, higher annual hospital ECMO volume was associated with lower mortality in 1989-2013 for neonates and adults; the association among adults persisted in 2008-2013.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation-based mock codes significantly correlate with improved pediatric patient cardiopulmonary arrest survival rates.
TL;DR: The use of mock codes as an integral part of residency programs could provide residents with the resuscitation training they require to become proficient in their practice, suggesting that a simulation-based mock code program may significantly benefit pediatric patient CPA outcomes—applied clinical outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in anticoagulation management of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: an international survey
Melania M. Bembea,Gail M. Annich,Peter Rycus,Gary Oldenburg,Ivor Berkowitz,Peter J. Pronovost +5 more
TL;DR: The majority of extracorporeal membrane oxy genation programs employ activated clotting time as the preferred anticoagulation monitoring tool, and the coagulation system is also monitored using more specific markers such as antithrombin III, anti-factor Xa, and thromboelastography by a large number of centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hyperventilation on regional cerebral blood flow in head-injured children
Peter Skippen,Michael Seear,Ken Poskitt,John R. W. Kestle,Doug Cochrane,Gail M. Annich,Jeffrey Handel +6 more
TL;DR: The clear relationship between the frequency of cerebral ischemia and hypocarbia, combined with the rarity of hyperemia, suggests that hyperventilation should be used with caution and monitored carefully in children with severe head injuries.
