TL;DR: Although there was no significant difference in the rate of death between patients with shock who were treated with dopamine as the first-line vasopressor agent and those who were treating with norepinephrine, the use of dopamine was associated with a greater number of adverse events.

TL;DR: Monitoring of rSO2 could be considered as an interesting tool to monitor the brain of patients on VA-ECMO after stroke and brain death and their relationship with poor outcome when employing VA- ECMO.

TL;DR: ECPR after CA may be associated with improved long-term neurological outcome, and Cox regression analysis stratified by matched pairs showed a significantly higher neurologic outcome rate in the ECPR group than in the CCPR group.

TL;DR: All these "hybrid" approaches, such as the addition of a third or fourth ECMO cannula to improve venous drainage and/or optimize systemic hemodynamics/oxygenation, or the implementation of surgical or percutaneous unloading of the left ventricle (LV), to reduce cardiac dilation and pulmonary edema are described.

TL;DR: In this study, one third of coronavirus disease 2019 mechanically ventilated patients have a pulmonary embolism visible on CT pulmonary angiography, and high regimen thromboprophylaxis may decrease the occurrence of such complication.
