chnically and financially challenging. In recent years, various scoring systems have been proposed to select patients most likely to benefit from ECMO, with the PREdiction of Survival on ECMO Therapy (PRESET) score being one of the most used. We collected data from 283 patients with ARDS of various etiology who underwent veno-venous (V-V) ECMO therapy at a German tertiary care ICU from January 2012 to December 2022. Median age in the cohort was 56 years, and 64.31% were males. The in-hospital mortality rate was 50.88% (n = 144). The median (25%; 75% quartile) severity scores were 38 (31; 49) for Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II, 12 (10; 13) for Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and 7 (5; 8) for PRESET. Simplified Acute Physiology Score-II displayed the best prognostic value (area under the receiver operating characteristic [AUROC]: 0.665 [confidence interval (CI): 0.574–0.756; p = 0.046]). Prediction performance was weak in all analyzed scores despite good calibrati

questions related to contrast delivery via the ECMO circuit, and modifications to ECMO settings and scanning techniques, to avoid non-diagnostic CT scans. The approach is described in detail for patients supported on VA ECMO, with the return cannula sited in the femoral artery. Lesser modifications required for veno-venous ECMO (VV ECMO) are included in the supplemental material. Establishing a common understanding between the intensive care clinician, the CT radiographer, and the radiologist, concerning the patient’s blood-flow-physiology, is the overarching goal. Our stepwise approach facilitates clear communication around modifications to the ECMO pump settings, contrast route and rate, as well as the scanning technique, for each individual scenario….

pport from 4 international centers were analyzed. Of 438 patients included, ECMO alone and ECPELLA were adopted in 319 (72.8%) and 119 (27.2%) patients, respectively. Propensity score matching analysis identified 95 pairs. In the matched cohort, 30-day mortality rates in the ECMO and ECPELLA were 49.5% and 43.2% (P = 0.467). The incidences of complications did not differ significantly between groups (P = 0.877, P = 0.629, P = 1.000, respectively). After a median follow-up of 0.18 years (interquartile range 0.02–2.55), the use of ECPELLA was associated with similar mortality compared with ECMO alone (hazard ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.54–1.20, P = 0.285), with 1-year overall survival rates of 51.3% and 46.6%, for ECPELLA and ECMO alone, respectively. ECMO alone and ECPELLA are both effective strategies in patients needing mechanical circulatory support for cardiogenic shock, showing similar rates of early and mid-term survival….

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

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
