Inserting a venoarterial extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation drainage cannula
into the inferior vena cava through the
internal jugular vein in a patient with an
inferior vena cava filter
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a critical treatment for patients with massive
pulmonary embolism (PE) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock. In this case, an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter
and iliac vein…

The association of early antibiotic exposure with subsequent development of late-onset sepsis in preterm infants: a systematic review
and meta-analysis studies
Abstract
Background Early antibiotic exposure in preterm infants may disrupt gut microbiome development, affecting
health. However, its link to late-onset sepsis (LOS) remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the association
