Vascular complications in patients undergoing femoral cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.

TLDR
The incidence of vascular complications in venovenous cannulation was low, whereas in arterial cannulation, it is still considerable, and peripheral arterial disease remains a risk factor, and early involvement of vascular surgeons for open vascular exposure or alternative vascular access sites can be recommended.

Complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for treatment of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest: a meta-analysis of 1,866 adult patients.

TL;DR: Although ECMO can improve survival of patients with advanced heart disease, there is significant associated morbidity with performance of this intervention.
Journal Article

A meta-analysis of complications and mortality of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

TL;DR: Even with conditions usually associated with a high chance of death, almost 50% of patients receiving ECMO survive up to discharge, and the most common complications associated with ECMO were renal failure, pneumonia or sepsis, and bleeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors associated with outcomes of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: a 5-year cohort study

TL;DR: Among neurologic, vascular, infectious and bleeding events that occurred on ECMO, bleeding was the most frequent and had a significant impact on mortality, and interventions that reduce these complications may improve outcome.

Cannulation strategies for percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adults

TL;DR: A nomenclature which uses “A” and all following letters for supplying cannulas and all letters before ‘A’ for draining cannulas is proposed, which covers both dual and triple ECMO cannulation strategies (VV, VA, VVA, VAV).

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the adult: a review of anticoagulation monitoring and transfusion.

TL;DR: The evolution of the various modalities of ECMO, indications, contraindications, and complications are discussed, and the different strategies for anticoagulation and treatment of coagulopathy while on ECMO are reviewed.

Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II)

TL;DR: The goals of this new consensus are to provide an abbreviated document to focus on key aspects of diagnosis and management, and to update the information based on new publications and the newer guidelines, but not to add an extensive list of references.

Sepsis and the Heart

TL;DR: Some characteristics of septic myocardial dysfunction are delineated, the most commonly cited and reported underlying mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction in sepsis are assessed, and current therapeutic strategies and possible future approaches are outlined.

Guidelines for the inter- and intrahospital transport of critically ill patients.

TL;DR: Although both intra- and interhospital transport must comply with regulations, it is believed that patient safety is enhanced during transport by establishing an organized, efficient process supported by appropriate equipment and personnel.
