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.

Multiparameters Associated to Successful Weaning from VA ECMO in Adult Patients with Cardiogenic Shock or Cardiac Arrest: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this article , a systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify a multiparameter strategy associated with successful weaning from VA ECMO from acute cardiorespiratory failure, including refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) and cardiac arrest (CA).

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for postcardiotomy syndrome in adults

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors describe postcardiotomy shock (PCS) as the syndrome of insufficient cardiac function and circulatory failure occurring in patients following cardiac surgical procedures, including intraoperative failure to wean a patient off cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as well as circumstances involving early postoperative decline from a low cardiac output syndrome.

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.

- 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.
