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 […]

Position paper for the organization of ECMO programs for cardiac failure in adults

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used increasingly for both respiratory and cardiac failure in adult patients. Indications for ECMO use in cardiac failure include severe refractory cardiogenic shock, refractory ventricular arrhythmia, active cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest, and acute or decompensated right heart failure. Evidence is emerging to guide the use of this

The Ventilatory Ratio as a Predictor of Successful Weaning from a Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator

Abstract Background: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a critical intervention for patients with severe lung failure, especially acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The weaning process from ECMO relies largely on expert opinion due to a lack of evidence-based guidelines. The ventilatory ratio (VR), which correlates with dead space and mortality in ARDS, is calculated

My echo checklist in venoarterial ECMO patients

Abstract Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential tool for the management of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Its ease of access makes it ideally suited for routine daily bedside assessments, which are essential for adjusting ECMO flow, detecting ECMO-related complications, evaluating the need for venting devices, and monitoring patient recovery. If transthoracic imaging is not feasible
