h, and this paper describes ways to achieve this with a focus on the international Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry. This article reviews ELSO registry publications that studied race with outcomes to consider whether research outputs align with race-conscious concepts and describe the direction of associations reported. Studies were identified via secondary analysis of a comprehensive scoping review on ECMO disparities. Of 32 multicenter publications, two (6%) studied race as the primary objective. Statistical analyses, confounder adjustment, and inclusive, antibiased language were inconsistently used. Only two (6%) papers explicitly discussed mechanistic drivers of inequity such as structural racism, and five (16%) discussed race variable limitations or acknowledged unmeasured confounders. Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry publications demonstrated more adverse ECMO outcomes for underrepresented/minoritized populations than non-ELSO studies. Wit

lity in pediatric patients with LTH while on ECMO. Children who were on ECMO during an LTH were compared to children with LTH who were not on ECMO. Primary outcomes were volumes of blood products administered and 28 day mortality. Comparisons were assessed by two-sided Fisher’s exact test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. A total of 449 children, including 36 on ECMO, were included. Compared to those not on ECMO, children on ECMO received a higher volume of blood products (110 [50–223] vs. 59 [28–113]) ml/kg, p = 0.002) and were more likely to receive antifibrinolytic therapy (39% vs. 10%, p < 0.001). Blood product ratios were similar. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients had higher 28 day mortality (64% vs. 35%, p = 0.001), although 24 hour mortality was similar (17% vs. 23%, p = 0.5). In conclusion, children on ECMO with LTH experience high resource utilization and 28 day mortality. Studies are needed to identify children at risk for LTH and to evaluate ECMO-specific treatment strat

We read with great interest the article by Zhang and colleagues1: a single-center experience showing that although 48.8% of all extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients are successfully decannulated and survive for 30 days or until discharge, 44.5% of patients die while on support or in the following 30 days, and 6.7% are bridged to advanced heart failure therapies.

Still huge knowledge gap regarding what happens after #ECMO decannulation: discrepancy exists between pts successfully weaned & pts who survive to discharge. We need common language. 🖇️ https://t.co/BJKRD01SRl Refers to study on outcome of #ECLS for CS. 🖇️ https://t.co/aKDVVNe1Y7 https://t.co/kyaXYxXtB9

ce risk of lethal clot formation, secondary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices are increasingly used despite limited understanding of their effects on cardiac function. This study sought to quantify the effects of VA-ECMO and combined with either intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) or percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) on LV physiologic state and perfusion metrics in a porcine model of acute cardiogenic shock. Shock was induced through serial left anterior descending artery microbead embolization followed by initiation of VA-ECMO support and then placement of either IABP or pVAD. Hemodynamic measurements, LV pressure-volume loops, and carotid artery blood flow were evaluated before and after institution of combined MCS. The IABP decreased LV end-diastolic pressure by a peak of 15% while slightly increasing LV stroke work compared with decreases of more than 60% and 50% with the pVAD, respectively. The pVAD also demonstrated increased coronary perfusion and systemic pre
