  1. Inside Calstar Super King Air 200 N370CS at #KSJC February 2020. We were fit testing ECMO gear (see next post for explanation but its basically heart and lung bypass) These are the most intense transports we do #calstar #moffett #photography #AvGeek #aviation #KingAir #nurse #SanJose #nursing #medical #ECMO

  2. Severe #COVID-19 is a life-threatening condition, sometimes requiring #ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) therapy. In one of our studies, we found that oscillatory inflammation heralds a poor prognosis.

  4. Thrombolysis before VA #ECMO cannulation in high-risk pulmonary embolism
    🔍 72 high-risk PE pts; 43% underwent pre-ECMO thrombolysis
    🩸incidence of moderate-to-severe bleeding notably elevated in both groups
    🪦 no difference in 90-day survival if systemic thrombolysis or not
    🗓️ long-term QoL acceptable; no chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
    Recent systemic thrombolysis, as a single parameter, should not be considered contraindication for #ECLS in this population
    🔓 rdcu.be/dLOBk

  5. Consumptive coagulopathy during #ECLS
    🔎 close monitoring & follow up pivotal during the #ECMO run
    ⛔️ giving platelets/clotting factors to fix numbers often worsens underlying process
    🩸 low doses of anticoagulants may protect both circuit (vs thrombotic complications) & patient (vs bleeding & thrombosis)
    ⛔️ bleeding complications should NOT always prompt complete cessation of UFH
    Detailed underlying pathophysiological process & physiological rationale free to read #FOAMcc

  6. Neue Studie im #JTH von @uniklinikum_Wue zeigt, dass #ECMO bei #ARDS zu Veränderungen in #Thrombozyten führt. Der #GPV-Rezeptor auf den #Blutplättchen wurde als mögliches Ziel zur Vermeidung von Blutungen identifiziert.

  18. Humanizing #ICU! All patients suffering from #delirium must have a holistic & humanistic approach: a person-centered delirium-management, with compassionate/empathic clinicians, and immediate interventions to find/treat reversible causes. Additionally, symptom-orientated patient-centered interventions should be implemented, empowering relatives and interprofessional staff to support patients.

  20. #ECLS for #ARDS, systematic review & meta-analysis focused on long-term patients' outcomes:
    📖 1 RCT + 31 observational studies included; lack of high-quality data: limited overall quality of evidence
    ⚠️ major sequelae common: 49% of survivors returning to work, 23% need home assistance
    ⚖️ #ECMO vs conventional mechanical ventilation? no significant difference in HRQoL, cognitive function, mental health, functional status, respiratory symptoms #FOAMcc #FOAMecmo on @ICM

  21. 🩸 Monitoring anticoagulation in VV #ECMO? Results of this cohort study including >250 patients with respiratory failure suggest that use of anti-Xa assay associated with improved quality of anticoagulation by reducing variability vs aPTTr & resulted in lower rate of heparin prescription changes, circuit changes, blood product use.

  25. Bleeding complications during #ECMO support, due to endogenous hyperfibrinolysis rather than excessive anticoagulation?
    🩸 #ECLS circuits may stimulate release of endothelial plasminogen activator
    🩸 D-dimer longitudinal dynamics most direct surrogate marker of overall fibrinolytic activity through plasmin generation on fibrin, preceding hemorrhagic complication
    ➡️ Bleeding patients with increasing D-dimers might benefit from plasminogen-targeted antifibrinolytic treatment
