    Researchers characterize ECMO use, patient outcomes during COVID-19 pandemic - 7 month(s) ago

    HONOLULU — 2020 COVID-19 hospitalizations requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cost significantly more and had lengthier stays than those that did not utilize ECMO, according to study results presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting.Use of ECMO also varied according to U.S. region and was more common in the first wave of the pandemic, Kam Sing Ho, MD, pulmonology and critical care

      Takeaways from a #CHEST2023 presentation: 💰U.S. hospitalizations requiring #ECMO totaled $908 million in 2020. 🏥ECMO use was more common in the first #pandemic wave and in the #Midwest. 😷Risk stratification is necessary prior to ECMO cannulation. https://t.co/RocFPswC9d

    Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for critically ill adults - Burrell, A - 2023 | Cochrane Library - 7 month(s) ago

    Collapse all Expand all Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may provide benefit in certain populations of adults, including those with severe cardiac failure, severe respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest. However, it is also associated with serious short‐ and long‐term complications, and there remains a lack of high‐quality evidence to guide practice. Recently several…

    Growing Evidence for LV Unloading in VA ECMO - 7 month(s) ago

    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 - 8 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

    Revisiting VA-ECMO in infarct-related cardiogenic shock - 8 month(s) ago

    Despite advances in medical therapies and coronary revascularisation, infarct-related cardiogenic shock remains a life-threatening emergency with high death rates.1 Temporary mechanical circulatory support, including peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), is a potential option for this condition as it can instantly improve haemodynamics while simultaneously providing gas exchange for acute cardiorespiratory failure.2 However, this is an expensive and invasive strategy that requires large-bore vascular access and can result in serious complications including bleeding, peripheral ischaemia, and stroke.
