The hemoglobin level impact on arterial oxygen saturation during venous-venous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support of acute respiratory distress syndrome patients: a mathematical marginal approach
TO THE EDITOR Hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the range of 7 – 14g/dL have been targeted in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. There is an association between low Hb levels and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and bleeding episodes. In contrast, higher Hb levels are associated with lower ECMO blood […]
