TL;DR: The results suggest that both ECMO circuit systems provide similar effects for safe clinical application, but the Quadrox PLS EC MO circuit system demonstrated partially improved biocompatibility in terms of improved cell preservation, lower TMPDs, less plasma leakage, and thrombus formation.

TL;DR: Increased PFHb is a predictor of ARF among adult patients on venous-arterial ECMO support and patients who underwent heart transplantation experienced less ARF, according to a multiple logistic regression model.

TL;DR: Hyperbilirubinemia remains common in patients with VA ECMO and is associated with low platelets and high in-hospital mortality, and repeated measurement analysis of variance revealed that the main effect for three groups in pFHb and lg(AST + 1) was significant at first 3 days during ECMO.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified predictors of acute renal failure during ECMO in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery using multivariate logistic regression and showed a linear correlation between maximum SCr and maximum free hemoglobin (FHB) before initiation of ECMO.

TL;DR: Clinical CPB protocol used in Beijing Fuwai Hospital is a safe, simple, and conventional CPB management system that is suitable for practical clinical application in China and further optimization is still needed to improve perfusion quality.
