Abstract:
We describe the use of a fully percutaneous, biatrial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit, to provide biventricular support with left heart unloading by using a single TandemHeart (LivaNova, London, United Kingdom) circuit during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration
40
Hemoperfusion and hemofiltration are critical techniques in medical treatments to eliminate accumulated drugs, metabolites, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. These methods are particularly vital in cases of accidental poisoning and drug overdose.Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through an adsorbent material to remove unwanted substances. The main adsorbents used in hemoperfusion include activated charcoal and Amberlite resins. Activated charcoal can adsorb both polar and nonpolar...

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care
73
Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...
