Predictors of successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) weaning after assistance for refractory cardiogenic shock.

TLDR
Patients who tolerated a full ECMO weaning trial and had aortic VTI ≥10 cm, LVEF >20–25%, and TDSa ≥6 cm/s at minimal ECMO flow were all successfully weaned, and further studies are needed to validate these simple and easy-to-acquire Doppler echocardiography parameters as predictors of subsequent EC MO weaning success in patients recovering from severe cardiogenic shock.
Abstract
Purpose Detailed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) weaning strategies and specific predictors of ECMO weaning success are lacking. This study evaluated a weaning strategy following support for refractory cardiogenic shock to identify clinical, hemodynamic, and Doppler echocardiography parameters associated with successful ECMO removal.

Can levosimendan reduce ECMO weaning failure in cardiogenic shock?: a cohort study with propensity score analysis.

TL;DR: Levosimendan did not improve the rate of successful VA-ECMO weaning in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock and no significant difference was found between groups for all secondary outcomes.

Predictors of Successful Weaning From Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Coronary Revascularization for Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiac Arrest: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.

TL;DR: Successful weaning from VA-ECMO was predicted by post-PCI TIMI flow grade, MAP at 4’h, and serum lactate at 24 h after VA- ECMO initiation in patients of AMI complicated by CA, and in patients who failed to wean from ECMO, LVEF did not recover within 48”h.

Prognostic Implication of RV Coupling to Pulmonary Circulation for Successful Weaning From Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored if right ventricular (RV) contractile function and its coupling to pulmonary circulation (PC) were associated with successful weaning from venoarterial−extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) at maintenance of pump flow.

Ultrasonic evaluation of the heart.

TL;DR: The role of echocardiography for the hemodynamic evaluation of critically ill patients is discussed and its crucial role in evaluating heart abnormalities as in the classical cardiological approach is discussed.

Extracorporal life support (ECLS) in acute ischaemic cardiogenic shock.

TL;DR: An informative systematic review and meta-analysis of the value of procalcitonin to diagnose bacterial infection in elderly patients found that low values of PCT were no more informative than high values and the signal-to-noise ratio of a positive PCT is very low.

The SOFA (Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment) score to describe organ dysfunction/failure. On behalf of the Working Group on Sepsis-Related Problems of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine.

TL;DR: The ESICM developed a so-called sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score to describe quantitatively and as objectively as possible the degree of organ dysfunction/failure over time in groups of patients or even in individual patients.

A new Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II) based on a European/North American multicenter study

J R Le Gall, +2 more
- 22 Dec 1993 - 
TL;DR: The SAPS II, based on a large international sample of patients, provides an estimate of the risk of death without having to specify a primary diagnosis, and is a starting point for future evaluation of the efficiency of intensive care units.

Doppler Tissue Imaging: A Noninvasive Technique for Evaluation of Left Ventricular Relaxation and Estimation of Filling Pressures

TL;DR: Mitral E velocity, corrected for the influence of relaxation (i.e., the E/Ea ratio), relates well to mean PCWP and may be used to estimate LV filling pressures.

Outcomes and long-term quality-of-life of patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock*

TL;DR: ECMO support can rescue 40% of otherwise fatal cardiogenic shock patients but its initiation under cardiac massage or after renal or hepatic failure carried higher risks of intensive care unit death, while fulminant myocarditis had a better prognosis.
