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.

Nouveautés dans les indications de l’ECMO veino-artérielle périphérique

TL;DR: Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (PVA-ECMO) has become the first-line therapy in many centers during refractory circulatory failure and provides a rapid cardio-circulatory and pulmonary support at bedside, even in remote locations thanks to mobile ECMO teams, with reasonable costs.

Outcomes following successful decannulation from extracorporeal life support for cardiogenic shock.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the outcomes of those successfully weaned from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for patients with Cardiogenic Shock (CS) and found that successful decannulation can be achieved in a significant proportion of patients treated with ECLS for CS but does not guarantee survival to hospital discharge.

Pulse pressure within the first 2 days of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is predictive of death prior to hospital discharge, renal dysfunction requiring dialysis and pulmonary oedema.

TL;DR: PP during the first 2 days of support is predictive of clinically important outcomes in patients supported with VA-ECMO, and central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure were not predictive.

SEDAR/SECCE ECMO management consensus document.

TL;DR: In this article, a consensus document aims to unify medical knowledge and provide recommendations based on both the recent bibliography and the main national ECMO implantation centers experience with the goal of improving comprehensive patient care.

Oxygen: A Luxurious Life-Giving and Potentially Toxic Gas.

TL;DR: In this retrospective single-center study of 93 high-risk infants requiring VA-ECMO in the postoperative period for cyanotic and noncyanotic CHD, the authors found that mortality at 30 days post surgery (primary outcome) was 38%, similar to what has been reported in other studies.

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.
