Application of alpha1-antitrypsin in a rat model of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for patients suffering from respiratory or cardiac failure. The ECMO-associated morbidity and mortality depends to a large extent on the underlying disease and is often related to systemic inflammation, consecutive imm...
