In an adolescent patient with severe yew intoxication and consecutive cardiac arrest, non-responsive to conventional resuscitation necessitating extracorporeal life support, Levosimendan has been implemented in the early acute phase of hemodynamic stabilization, without obvious side effects. However, the additive value of this treatment in severe yew intoxication remains speculative.

BACKGROUND: The exposure of blood to the artificial circuit during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can induce an inflammatory response. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used biomarker of systemic inflammation. METHODS: In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed results of daily plasma CRP measurements in 110 critically ill patients, treated with ECMO. We compared CRP levels during the first 5 days of ECMO operation, between different groups of patients according to ECMO configurations, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) status, and mechanical ventilation parameters...

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); however, there are ongoing concerns about its associated risks and benefits, making a comprehensive understanding vital for clinical decision-making. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy, risks, and practical implications of ECMO as a therapeutic intervention in severe ARDS secondary to COVID-19. The results indicate that ECMO is a key therapeutic intervention for managing severe COVID-19, but due to its associated risks and resource constraints, its application needs careful consideration...

AIM: Although brain injury is the main determinant of poor outcome following cardiac arrest (CA), cardiovascular failure is the leading cause of death within the first days after CA. However, it remains unclear which hemodynamic parameter is most suitable for its early recognition. We investigated the association of cardiac power output (CPO) with early mortality in intensive care unit(ICU) after CA and with mortality related to post-CA cardiovascular failure. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of adult comatose survivors of CA admitted to the ICU of a University Hospital...

The use of bivalirudin as the primary anticoagulant for children supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is growing. Ideal management of bivalirudin dosing during therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) on ECMO is unknown. We performed a single-center retrospective study of ECMO patients anticoagulated with bivalirudin who underwent TPE from January 2019 to December 2021. Therapeutic plasma exchange sessions were analyzed individually by bivalirudin dosing strategy (no change [NC] versus increased dose [dose change {DC} bivalirudin group]) and replacement fluid (all fresh-frozen plasma [FFP] versus all albumin or FFP and albumin [FFP/Albumin])...

Despite extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) utilization in nearly 20% of cases, there are limited data in children with acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) requiring ECMO. Herein we identify risk factors for death or heart transplant (HT) in children with AFM supported with ECMO, describe our experience with left atrial (LA) decompression, and depict long-term outcomes of survivors. We performed a retrospective cohort of patients <18 years with AFM (≤14 days of symptoms, rapid cardiogenic shock, and normal left ventricular [LV] size on presentation) supported with ECMO admitted to a single intensive care unit from 1997 to 2021...

BACKGROUND: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has been demonstrated to be effective in treating patients with virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, whether the management of ECMO is different in treating H1N1 influenza and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated ARDS patients remains unknown. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study. We included 12 VV-ECMO-supported COVID-19 patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, and Wuhan Union Hospital West Campus between January 23 and March 31, 2020...

The central nervous system is characterized by a peculiar vascularization termed blood-brain barrier (BBB), which regulates the exchange of cells and molecules between the cerebral tissue and the whole body. BBB dysfunction is a life-threatening condition since its presence corresponds to a marker of severity in most diseases encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). During critical illness, inflammatory response, cytokine release, and other phenomena activating the brain endothelium contribute to alterations in the BBB and increase its permeability to solutes, cells, nutrients, and xenobiotics...

BACKGROUND: Expert opinion and professional society statements have called for multi-tier care systems for the management of cardiogenic shock (CS). However, little is known about how to pragmatically define centers with different levels of care (LOC) for CS. METHODS: Eleven of 23 hospitals within our healthcare system sharing a common electronic health record were classified as different LOC according to their highest mechanical circulatory support (MCS) capabilities: Level 1 (L-1)-durable left ventricular assist device, Level 1A (L-1A)-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Level 2 (L-2)-intra-aortic balloon pump and percutaneous ventricular assist device; and Level 3 (L-3)-no MCS...

Acute coronary syndrome with cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition, but with planned staged treatment combined with coronary revascularization and mechanical circulatory supports its management is increasingly possible. Here, we present our successful life-saving case. A 76-year-old male patient was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock due to severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery based on the severe triple vessel disease. We initially introduced Impella CP and performed a percutaneous coronary intervention without stenting on the patient...

We present here a unique case in which a 63-year-old man developed diffuse coronary vasospasm on postoperative day (POD) 1 following uneventful aortic valve replacement, replacement of ascending aorta, and coronary artery bypass. Subsequent emergent coronary angiogram demonstrated diffuse native coronary artery vasospasm that was only transiently responsive to intracardiac nitroglycerin, resulting in persistent cardiogenic shock and severe biventricular dysfunction. The patient was, thus, placed on femoral-femoral venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with Impella support...
