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.

Hemodynamic assessment and risk classification for successful weaning of Impella in patients with cardiogenic shock.

TL;DR: PAWP or MPAP higher than the cutoff with CPO below the cutoff at Impella weaning were associated with worse outcomes, and lower values showed strong associations with 30-day non-survival risk.

Basics of extra corporeal membrane oxygenation: a pediatric intensivist's perspective.

TL;DR: In the ICU, extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is one of the most advanced forms of life support therapy in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as mentioned in this paper.

Sensitivity of ventricular systolic function to afterload during veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LV systolic function was significantly more sensitive to the afterload effects of V-A ECMO during the acute stage of myocardial dysfunction compared with the delayed phase, which informs the clinical utility of echocardiographic assessment in patients on V- A ECMO.

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.
