Crossing the line: blood transfusion thresholds in ECMO

1. Why this editorial matters — and why you should read it ECMO teams across the world ask the same question daily: “What hemoglobin level actually improves oxygen delivery in ECMO — and when does transfusion do more harm than good?” Despite decades of ECMO evolution, there is still no evidence-based transfusion threshold for ECMO […]

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
