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.

Use of ECMO in adult patients with cardiogenic shock: a position paper of the Austrian Society of Cardiology

TL;DR: The present guidelines aim to optimize the use of ECMO in the individual centers, and aim to help current non-ECMO centers in developing a local ECMO-program or to contact EC MO-centers for discussion of individual patients.

Patient Care During ECMO

TL;DR: To minimise the risk of bleeding, a “do no harm” approach must be used avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures and the complex interaction between the patient and the ECMO apparatus must be accounted during the evaluation.

TL;DR: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is becoming commonplace worldwide in ICUs for the care of patients with respiratory and/or cardiac failure as mentioned in this paper.

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.
