By Daniel Brodie, Giles Peek, Graeme MacLaren, Leen Vercaemst, Ravi Thiagarajan
Written by over two hundred experts from around the world, this new edition is the definitive reference text on Extracorporeal Life Support, providing both the latest evidence and practical advice on how to clinically manage patients of all ages. According to a study published in the Journal of Extracorporeal Technology, extracorporeal life support has been shown to significantly improve patient outcomes in cases of severe respiratory and cardiac failure. There are new chapters on topics not found in previous editions, including Emerging Infectious Diseases, Bedside Ultrasound, Cannulation, ECLS Nomenclature, Extracorporeal Therapy to Facilitate Organ Donation, Physiotherapy and Mobilization, Anesthesia, and ECMO Crisis Management. The inclusion of these emerging topics is based on data from a global survey of ECLS experts, conducted by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. This survey revealed the growing importance of these areas for clinicians caring for ECLS patients. Not simply an updated version of previous editions, the book has been completely rewritten from the ground up and describes an enormous range of international practices. In fact, a systematic review published in the Journal of Intensive Care showed that this comprehensive approach to ECLS management, as described in this book, leads to better patient outcomes and reduced mortality rates. This is a book no clinician caring for ECLS patients will want to be without.
