    Impressively increasing availability of mechanical circulatory/cardiac support systems (MCSs) worldwide, together with the deepening of the knowledge of critical care medical practitioners, has inevitably led to the discussion about further improvements of intensive care associated to MCS. An appealing topic of the left ventricle (LV) overload related to VA ECMO support endangering myocardial recovery is being widely discussed within the scientific community. Unloading of LV leads to the reduction in LV end-diastolic pressure, reduction in pressure in the left atrium, and decrease in the LV thrombus formation risk. Consequently, better conditions for myocardial recovery, with comfortable filling pressures and a better oxygen delivery/demand ratio, are achieved. The combination of VA ECMO and Impella device, also called ECPELLA, seems to be a promising strategy that may bring the improvement of CS mortality rates. The series of presented trials and meta-analyses clearly showed the poten

    BARTS ECMO COURSE - 7 month(s) ago

    St. Bartholomew’s Hospital , London is proud to launch a three day course and simulation for Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) training . This is a highly interactive course which will include “wet labs” and simulated scenarios and will be run by internationally renowned multi-disciplinary faculty from the Barts Heart Centre. Barts Heart Centre is one of the country’s leading cardiac centres with all the facilities to treat severe cardiac failure and being a national centre for acute severe respiratory failure and ECMO in the UK, we have the expertise to provide Extra Corporeal Life Support training. We use the Cardiohelp and Centrimag systems for management of patients on ECMO, including retrievals and transport. The three day course is designed for all members of the multidisciplinary team who are involved in looking after patients on ECMO, and will be introduced to and trained with both systems. Course will run across all three days between 0830-1630 Course Overview -Histo

    August 31, 2023 — Early extracorporeal life support (ECLS) does not improve survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock who are scheduled for early revascularization, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session at ESC Congress 2023.1  Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death in hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction.2 Evidence-based treatment is limited to immediate revascularization of the culprit lesion.3-5 However, mortality remains high, reaching 40-50% within 30 days.2 Ongoing efforts to improve outcomes have led to an increase in the use of active mechanical circulatory support devices to achieve hemodynamic stabilization in severe shock. In particular, the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), also called ECLS, has risen by more than 10 times in recent years.6  ECLS enables full circulatory and respiratory support, which differentiates it from other devices.
