    • Venoarterial-extra corporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted parathyroidectomy for hypercalcemic crisis due to parathyroid carcinoma complicated by severe circulatory and respiratory failure: a case report
    Authors: Yuria, Enomoto; Yuko, Matsuda; Yusuke, Nagamine; Takahisa, Goto;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Hypercalcemia crisis is a rare but severe form of hypercalcemia complicated by multiple organ failure. The most common cause of hypercalcemia crisis is primary hyperparathyroidism caused by a parathyroid tumor, which often requires surgical resection [1]. However, there are no clear recommendations on when the surgery should be performed. Although there have been case reports of venoarterial-extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support after cardiac arrest due to hypercalcemia crisis [2], there have been no reports of prophylactic VA-ECMO for circulatory and respiratory failure during surgical treatment of hypercalcemia crisis. In this report, we describe a case in which prophylactic VA-ECMO was used to safely manage circulatory and respiratory failure during parathyroid t...
    • Prognostic models for mortality risk in patients requiring ECMO
    Authors: Lara C. A., Pladet; Jaimie M. M., Barten; Lisette M., Vernooij;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    To provide an overview and evaluate the performance of mortality prediction models for patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for refractory cardiocirculatory or respiratory failure.
