Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a common complication in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The underlying mechanisms are multifactorial including the primary disease, effects of invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO circuit-related factors and critical illness in general. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is often required to control fluid balance and is associated with worse outcomes. No consensus exists for indication, timing, modality, and how to best to combine RRT and ECMO. This chapter provides an update of the epidemiology, outcomes and pathophysiology of acute kidney injury in patients receiving ECMO, highlights technical aspects when combining RRT with ECMO, and identifies future research questions.

Higher rates of Dialysis and Subsequent Mortality in the New Allocation Era for Heart Transplants.

TL;DR: In this paper , a United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) policy change increased prioritization of patients bridged with temporary mechanical circulatory support devices, such as venoarterial ECMO, for cardiac transplantation.

Early Levosimendan Administration Improved Weaning Success Rate in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

TL;DR: Early levosimendan administration may contribute to increasing the success rate of VA-ECMO weaning and may help to decrease CV and all-cause mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complications Associated With Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation—What Can Go Wrong?

TL;DR: In this paper , a narrative review describes the variety of short and long-term complications that can occur during treatment with ECMO and how patient selection and management decisions may influence the risk of these complications.

Does delivering more dialysis improve clinical outcomes? What randomized controlled trials have shown

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a narrative review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with different dialysis techniques, dialysis doses and frequencies of treatment.

Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Elective High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

TL;DR: Velo-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation mechanical circulation support during HR-PCI is a safe and feasible strategy for achieving revascularisation in complex and high-risk coronary artery lesions.

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.

Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Subsequent Risk of End-Stage Renal Disease and Mortality

TL;DR: Declines in estimated GFR smaller than a doubling of serum creatinine concentration occurred more commonly and were strongly and consistently associated with the risk of ESRD and mortality, supporting consideration of lesser declines in Estimated GFR (such as a 30% reduction over 2 years) as an alternative end point for CKD progression.

Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry International Report 2016.

TL;DR: Extracorporeal life support use in the support of adults with respiratory and cardiac failure represented the largest growth in the recent time period and underscore the need for skilled ECLS management and appropriately trained ECLs personnel and teams.
