Brief Summary

In this phase 2, single center, randomized clinical pilot trial, investigators will study the effect of a strategy involving a reduction of beta receptor (BR) stimulation (by decreasing dobutamine dos...

Detailed Description

Despite the great benefits of Venoarterial ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and its rapidly increasing usage, even today, 30 till 70 percent of patients cannot be weaned from ECMO suppor...
