BACKGROUND: Bleeding and thrombosis induce major morbidity and mortality in patients under extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO). Circuit changes can be performed for oxygenation membrane thrombosis but are not recommended for bleeding under ECMO. The objective of this study was to evaluate the course of clinical, laboratory, and transfusion parameters before and after ECMO circuit changes warranted by bleeding or thrombosis. METHODS: In this single-center, retrospective, cohort study, clinical parameters (bleeding syndrome, hemostatic procedures, oxygenation parameters, transfusion) and laboratory parameters (platelet count, hemoglobin, fibrinogen, PaO2 ) were collected over the seven days surrounding the circuit change...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, decreased pulmonary compliance, and abnormalities in gas exchange, especially hypoxemia. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who receive support with venovenous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) usually have severe lung disease. Many patients with ARDS have associated pulmonary vascular injury which can result in elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and right heart dysfunction. Since V-V ECMO relies upon preserved cardiac function, right heart failure has important implications for patient evaluation, management, and outcomes...

Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) such as cardiopulmonary bypass or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may induce a complex activation of the immune system. To date, strategies to mitigate this activation have failed to translate into meaningful improvement of clinical outcomes. Hemoperfusion is a blood purification technique, which relies on mass separation by a solid agent (hemoadsorption). It can be performed by adding a cartridge filled with adsorptive sorbent in the extracorporeal circuit. These devices have the theoretical advantage to enable the removal of excess pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules...

Myocarditis has been reported as a life-threatening complication of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), but fulminant myocarditis with AOSD is very rare. We hereby report a case of a 43-year-old female with fulminant myocarditis with AOSD. She had a refractory AOSD and cardiogenic shock with markedly elevated ferritin level up to 67,370 ng/mL. She was successfully treated with canakinumab and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) such as venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and Impella CP. We also reviewed the previous cases of fulminant myocarditis with AOSD published from 1976 to December 2022, and only 8 cases of fulminant myocarditis with AOSD have been reported...

Methods of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients include dedicated central venous cannula (CVC) (vCRRT), in-series with filter connected to ECMO circuit (eCRRT) or in-line with haemodiafilter incorporated within ECMO circuit. We assessed the efficacy and safety of eCRRT versus vCRRT in 20 ECMO-CRRT patients. Average filter lifespan was 42 vs 28 hours and filter runs completing 72hours were 40% vs 13.8% (eCRRT vs vCRRT, respectively). One incidence of ECMO circuit air embolus occurred (vCRRT)...

BACKGROUND & PROBLEMS: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an intervention that replaces cardiopulmonary function temporarily to reduce injury to vital organs. As important members of the ECMO medical team, intensive care unit nurses must be well trained and alert to possible critical events. Failure to troubleshoot and manage ECMO promptly and correctly significantly increases the risk of mortality. A previous ECMO critical event in our unit resulted in lingering concerns and stress among nurses related to implementing this intervention...

Lung cancer can cause fatal central airway obstruction. Rapid airway clearance is necessary in some cases, but ventilator management may be insufficient to maintain oxygenation levels. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) may be an effective rescue therapy for respiratory failure, but its efficacy in treating tumor-related airway obstruction is unknown. We herein report a case of central airway obstruction and severe acute respiratory failure due to small-cell lung cancer successfully treated with VV-ECMO, bronchoscopic airway intervention, and chemotherapy...

BACKGROUND: Moral distress occurs when nurses know the ethically correct action to take but are restrained from taking it. Moral distress is prevalent in nurses who work in intense stress situations, as do extracorporeal membrane oxygenation nurses. LOCAL PROBLEM: Nurses who work in critical care settings have higher levels of moral distress than nurses who work in other practice areas. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of case review debriefings on moral distress of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation nurses...

Pulse oximetry has high sensitivity but low specificity for detecting hypoxemia. Arterial blood gas analyses are the gold standard for monitoring O2 therapy. Venous blood gas analyses should not be used in this setting. TARGET VALUES OF O2 THERAPY: The target range of acute O2 therapy for ventilated patients and nonventilated patients not at risk of hypercapnia should be between 92% and 96% for oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by pulse oximetry. Indications for high-dose O2 therapy without a target range in critical care include carbon monoxide poisoning and patients with severe respiratory distress when SpO2 cannot be derived...

UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Approximately 50,000 emergency department visits per year due to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning occur in the United States alone. Tissue hypoxia can occur at very low CO concentration exposures because CO binds with a 250-fold higher affinity than oxygen to hemoglobin. The most effective therapy is 100% hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) respiration. However, there are only a limited number of cases with ready accessibility to the specialized HBO chambers...
