Blood utilization in adult patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenated therapy

Transfusion
S H ButchR H Bartlett

Abstract

The impact of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), performed on adult patients, on the blood transfusion service of a tertiary-care hospital was assessed. The quantity and pattern of blood component utilization by these patients were compared to those in a previous evaluation of neonatal patients receiving similar treatment. The records of blood component transfusion to 74 adult patients, treated with ECMO within a 6-year period, were reviewed. This information was correlated with the clinical indication for ECMO and duration of ECMO treatment. In addition, daily use of components for these patients was studied to ascertain whether the blood requirements were predictable and uniform. Over 15,000 units of blood components, with platelet concentrates making up the largest portion, were transfused to these patients while they were undergoing ECMO. The duration of ECMO varied from less than 1 day to 53 days. However, the length of treatment could not uniformly be correlated with blood utilization or with survival. Daily blood transfusion needs often could not be anticipated, which meant that the transfusion service frequently had to respond to urgent requests for transfusion support. The provision of platelet concentrates pr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
