Advancements in understanding the mechanisms of lung–kidney crosstalk

Abstract This narrative review delves into the intricate interplay between the lungs and the kidneys, with a focus on elucidating the pathogenesis of diseases influenced by immunological factors, acid–base regulation, and blood gas disturbances, as well as assessing the effects of various therapeutic modalities on these interactions. Key disorders, such as anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) […]

Airway management and ventilation techniques in resuscitation during advanced life support: an update

Abstract For many years, ventilation has been an essential part of advanced life support (ALS) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nevertheless, there is little evidence about the best method of ventilation during resuscitation for both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and inhospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients. Effective ventilation is one of the two main keys to successful

Contemporary management of traumatic cardiac arrest and peri-arrest states: a narrative review

Abstract Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide across all age groups, with traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) presenting a significant economic and societal burden due to the loss of productive life years. Despite TCA’s high mortality rate, recent evidence indicates that survival with good and moderate neurological recovery is possible. Successful resuscitation

The effects of blood cell salvage on transfusion requirements after decannulation from veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: an emulated trial analysis

Abstract Background Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a supportive therapy for acute respiratory failure with increased risk of packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfusion. Blood cell salvage (BCS) aims to reduce blood transfusion, but its efficacy is unclear. This study aimed to estimate the effect of BCS at the time of removal of the

Anticoagulation management during veno-venous ECMO support because of ARDS: Single-center experience

Abstract Background Patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) show a high mortality rate of up to 60 %. In such cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is often required, which would necessitate anticoagulation therapy, predominantly with heparin. Some bleeding events occurred more frequently in patients during the COVID-19 pandemic who were on venovenous

ECMO-weaning facilitated by neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA): a case for principal clarification

Abstract The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has become increasingly prevalent, particularly in respiratory disease pandemics such as H1N1-influenza and SARS-CoV-2. This surge has emphasized the importance of clear therapy recommendations, improved accessibility to ECMO technology, established ECMO teams, and structured networks to ensure access to specialized care throughout the course of the

Exercise and cardiac rehabilitation after LVAD implantation

Abstract Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have improved mortality and quality of life for patients with end-stage heart failure by providing an alternative to cardiac transplant or as a bridge to transplantation. The improvement in functional capacity however is minimal to modest depending on the right ventricular function, optimal hemodynamics on LVAD therapy, and comorbidities.

Fever following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation: Infection, thrombosis or just physiology?

Abstract Purpose Fever is frequent after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of post-decannulation fever and describe its causes. Methods Adult ECMO patients who were successfully weaned from ECMO were retrospectively included. Minimal and maximal core temperatures were collected daily for each patient from 48 h before decannulation up to

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to rescue sepsis-induced cardiogenic shock: a retrospective, multicentre, international cohort study

Summary Background Patients with sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy with cardiogenic shock have a high mortality. This study assessed venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support for sepsis-induced cardiogenic shock refractory to conventional treatments. Methods In this retrospective, multicentre, international cohort study, we compared outcomes of 82 patients (aged ≥18 years) with septic shock who received VA-ECMO at

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation versus conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults with cardiac arrest: a comparative meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis

Summary Background Although outcomes of patients after cardiac arrest remain poor, studies have suggested that extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) might improve survival and neurological outcomes. We aimed to investigate any potential benefits of using ECPR over conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Methods In this
