Mouzakis FL, Hima F, Kashefi A, Greven J, Rink L, van der Vorst EPC, Jankowski J, Mottaghy K, Spillner J. Molecular Hydrogen and Extracorporeal Gas Exchange: A Match Made in Heaven? An In Vitro Pilot Study. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1883. [PMID: 39200347 PMCID: PMC11351264 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12081883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 07/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is frequently implemented in a vast array of modalities such as hemodialysis, cardiopulmonary bypass, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and others. Patients receiving any such therapy are frequently encumbered with chronic inflammation, which is inherently accompanied by oxidative stress. However, ECC treatments themselves are also responsible for sustaining or promoting inflammation. On these grounds, an in vitro study was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen (H2) against pro-inflammatory agents in ECC settings. Five miniature ECMO circuits and a small vial (Control) were primed with heparinized blood from healthy adult donors (n = 7). Three of the ECMO systems were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), out of which one was additionally treated with an H2 gas mixture. After 6 h, samples were drawn for the assessment of specific biomarkers (MCP-1, MPO, MDA-a, TRX1, and IL-6). Preliminary results indicate a progressive oxidative and inflammatory response between the six systems. Circulation has triggered inflammation and blood trauma, but the staggering influence of LPS in this outcome is indisputable. Accordingly, hydrogen's remedial potential becomes immediately apparent as biomarker concentrations tend to be lower in the H2-handled circuit. Future research should have distinct objectives (e.g., dosage/duration/cycle of hydrogen administration) in order to ascertain the optimal protocol for patient treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial injury, cytokine storms, hypoxemia and pathogen-mediated damage were the major causes responsible for mortality induced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related myocarditis. These need ECMO treatment. We investigated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in patients with COVID-19-related myocarditis and ECMO prognosis. METHODS GSE150392 and GSE93101 were analyzed to identify DEGs. A Venn diagram was used to obtain the same transcripts between myocarditis-related and ECMO-related DEGs. Enrichment pathway analysis was performed and hub genes were identified. Pivotal miRNAs, transcription factors, and chemicals with the screened gene interactions were identified. The GSE167028 dataset and single-cell sequencing data were used to validate the screened genes. RESULTS Using a Venn diagram, 229 overlapping DEGs were identified between myocarditis-related and ECMO-related DEGs, which were mainly involved in T cell activation, contractile actin filament bundle, actomyosin, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. 15 hub genes and 15 neighboring DEGs were screened, which were mainly involved in the positive regulation of T cell activation, integrin complex, integrin binding, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and the TNF signaling pathway. Data in GSE167028 and single-cell sequencing data were used to validate the screened genes, and this demonstrated that the screened genes CCL2, APOE, ITGB8, LAMC2, COL6A3 and TNC were mainly expressed in fibroblast cells; IL6, ITGA1, PTK2, ITGB5, IL15, LAMA4, CAV1, SNCA, BDNF, ACTA2, CD70, MYL9, DPP4, ENO2 and VEGFC were expressed in cardiomyocytes; IL6, PTK2, ITGB5, IL15, APOE, JUN, SNCA, CD83, DPP4 and ENO2 were expressed in macrophages; and IL6, ITGA1, PTK2, ITGB5, IL15, VCAM1, LAMA4, CAV1, ACTA2, MYL9, CD83, DPP4, ENO2, VEGFC and IL32 were expressed in vascular endothelial cells. CONCLUSION The screened hub genes, IL6, ITGA1, PTK2, ITGB3, ITGB5, CCL2, IL15, VCAM1, GZMB, APOE, ITGB8, LAMA4, LAMC2, COL6A3 and TNFRSF9, were validated using GEO dataset and single-cell sequencing data, which may be therapeutic targets patients with myocarditis to prevent MI progression and adverse cardiovascular events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to analyze the efficiency of CytoSorb adsorber in patients presenting with cardiogenic shock and treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). METHODS Sixteen patients put on VA ECMO due to cardiogenic shock were included, stratified according to the use of Cytosorb adsorber in the first 24 h and compared across different clinical outcomes. RESULTS Significantly lower vasopressor doses were required among patients treated with Cytosorb at the initiation and before weaning from ECMO. Furthermore, these patients showed significantly higher urine output before weaning and lower lactate levels during the extracorporeal support. Finally, the mortality rate was lower among the Cytosorb therapy group (22.2% vs 57.1%). CONCLUSION While a decrease in vasopressor doses was already associated with CytoSorb use, this is the first study showing an increase in urinary output and a trend towards better survival among patients on VA ECMO treated with CytoSorb.

Mortality risk factors in patients receiving ECPR after cardiac arrest: Development and validation of a clinical prognostic prediction model. Am J Emerg Med 2024; 76:111-122. [PMID: 38056056 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2023.11.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown an increasing trend of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) use in patients with cardiac arrest (CA). Although ECPR have been found to reduce mortality in patients with CA compared with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR), the mortality remains high. This study was designed to identify the potential mortality risk factors for ECPR patients for further optimization of patient management and treatment selection. METHODS We conducted a prospective, multicentre study collecting 990 CA patients undergoing ECPR in 61 hospitals in China from January 2017 to May 2022 in CSECLS registry database. A clinical prediction model was developed using cox regression and validated with external data. RESULTS The data of 351 patients meeting the inclusion criteria before October 2021 was used to develop a prediction model and that of 68 patients after October 2021 for validation. Of the 351 patients with CA treated with ECPR, 227 (64.8%) patients died before hospital discharge. Multivariate analysis suggested that a medical history of cerebrovascular diseases, pulseless electrical activity (PEA)/asystole and higher Lactate (Lac) were risk factors for mortality while aged 45-60, higher pH and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) during ECPR have protective effects. Internal validation by bootstrap resampling was subsequently used to evaluate the stability of the model, showing moderate discrimination, especially in the early stage following ECPR, with a C statistic of 0.70 and adequate calibration with GOF chi-square = 10.4 (p = 0.50) for the entire cohort. Fair discrimination with c statistic of 0.65 and good calibration (GOF chi-square = 6.1, p = 0.809) in the external validation cohort demonstrating the model's ability to predict in-hospital death across a wide range of probabilities. CONCLUSION Risk factors have been identified among ECPR patients including a history of cerebrovascular diseases, higher Lac and presence of PEA or asystole. While factor such as age 45-60, higher pH and use of IABP have been found protective against in-hospital mortality. These factors can be used for risk prediction, thereby improving the management and treatment selection of patients for this resource-intensive therapy.

Abstract
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. RESULTS There was a statistically significant decrease in CRP levels during the first 5 days of veno-venous (VV) ECMO (173 ± 111 mg/L, 154 ± 107 mg/L, 127 ± 97 mg/L, 114 ± 100 mg/L and 118 ± 90 mg/L for days 1-5 respectively, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, there was a significant reduction in ventilatory parameters, as represented by the mechanical power (MP) calculation, from 24.02 ± 14.53 J/min to 6.18 ± 4.22 J/min within 3 h of VV ECMO initiation (p < 0.001). There was non-significant trend of increase in CRP level during the first 5 days of veno arterial (VA) ECMO (123 ± 80 mg/L, 179 ± 91 mg/L, 203 ± 90 mg/L, 179 ± 95 mg/L and 198 ± 93 for days 1-5 respectively, p = 0.126) and no significant change in calculated MP (from 14.28 ± 8.56 J/min to 10.81 ± 8.09 J/min within 3 h if ECMO initiation, p = 0.071). CONCLUSIONS We observed a significant decrease in CRP levels during the first 5 days of VV ECMO support, and suggest that the concomitant reduction in ventilatory MP may have mitigated the degree of alveolar stress and strain that could have contributed to a decrease in the systemic inflammatory process.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is identified as a novel therapeutic strategy that offers short-term support to the metabolism of the heart and lungs in humans. Recently, the clinical centers, which provide ECMO has increased rapidly worldwide. The indications for the use of ECMO in daily clinical practice were broadened dynamically. However, even with the widespread adoption of ECMO, it still remains significant morbidity and mortality, and the underlying mechanisms are still not elucidated. Notably, one of the vital complications during ECMO was proposed as the inflammatory progression within the extracorporeal circulation. via the development of inflammatory response, patients with ECMO may further suffer from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), posing serious risks to human health. Recently, growing evidence confirmed that through exposure of blood into the ECMO circuit could lead to the stimulation of the immune system which also facilitated the inflammatory response and systemic impaired. In the current review, the pathological development of inflammatory progression in patients with ECMO is well-listed. Furthermore, the relationship between immune-related activation and the development of inflammation is also summarized, which may further help us to decide the therapeutic strategies in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) can be categorized as either primary (familial, generally occurring in infants) or secondary (sHLH, occurring at any age in association with a variety of conditions) and is mainly triggered by infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignant conditions. Our understanding of the pathophysiology of sHLH is still evolving, and among the causes and associations with the syndrome, those putatively associated with iatrogenic causes remain among the most poorly understood due to the rarity of these entities and the multiple confounders so often present in the patients in whom they are reported. Herein, we present a review of the literature to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of sHLH associated with iatrogenic causes and discuss some of the challenges and future directions in our efforts to better understand these complex conditions for the advancement of patient outcomes.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a potentially lifesaving intervention for children with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. It is used with increasing frequency and in increasingly more complex and severe diseases. Neurological injuries are important causes of morbidity and mortality in children treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and include ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic injury, and seizures. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of neurological injury in patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and we review the current state of knowledge for available modalities of monitoring neurological function in these children. These include structural imaging with computed tomography and ultrasound, cerebral blood flow monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy and transcranial Doppler ultrasound, and physiological monitoring with electroencephalography and plasma biomarkers. We highlight areas of need and emerging advances that will improve our understanding of neurological injury related to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and help to reduce the burden of neurological sequelae in these children.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock causes hypoperfusion within the microcirculation, leading to impaired oxygen delivery, cell death, and progression of multiple organ failure. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is the last line of treatment for cardiac failure. The goal of MCS is to ensure end-organ perfusion by maintaining perfusion pressure and total blood flow. However, machine-blood interactions and the nonobvious translation of global macrohemodynamics into the microcirculation suggest that the use of MCS may not necessarily be associated with improved capillary flow. With the use of hand-held vital microscopes, it is possible to assess the microcirculation at the bedside. The paucity of literature on the use of microcirculatory assessment suggests the need for an in-depth look into microcirculatory assessment within the context of MCS. The purpose of this review is to discuss the possible interactions between MCS and microcirculation, as well as to describe the research conducted in this area. Regarding sublingual microcirculation, 3 types of MCS will be discussed: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, and microaxial flow pumps (Impella).

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a frequently used mechanical cardiopulmonary support for rescuing critically ill patients for whom conventional medical therapies have failed. However, ECMO is associated with several complications, such as acute kidney injury, hemorrhage, thromboembolism, and acute brain injury (ABI). Among these, ABI, particularly intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and infarction, is recognized as the primary cause of mortality during ECMO support. Furthermore, survivors often suffer significant long-term morbidities, including neurocognitive impairments, motor disturbances, and behavioral problems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the different subtypes of ECMO-related ABI and the updated advance mechanisms, which could be helpful for the early diagnosis and potential neuromonitoring of ECMO-related ABI.

Abstract
The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedure aids in the provision of prolonged cardiopulmonary support, whereas the Impella device (Abiomed, Danvers, MA) is a ventricular assist device that maintains circulation by pumping blood into the aorta from the left ventricle. Blood is circulated in parallel with the heart by Impella. It draws blood straight into the aorta from the left ventricle, hence preserving the physiological flow. ECMO bypasses the left atrium and the left ventricle, and the end consequence is a non-physiological flow. In this article, we conducted a detailed analysis of various publications in the literature and examined various modalities pertaining to the use of ECMO and Impella for cardiogenic shocks, such as efficacy, clinical outcomes, cost-effectiveness, device-related complications, and limitations. The Impella completely unloads the left ventricle, thereby significantly reducing the effort of the heart. Comparatively, ECMO only stabilizes a patient with cardiogenic shock for a short stretch of time and does not lessen the efforts of the left ventricle ("unload" it). In the acute setting, both devices reduced left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and provided adequate hemodynamic support. By comparing patients on Impella to those receiving ECMO, it was found that patients on Impella were associated with better clinical results, quicker recovery, limited complications, and reduced healthcare costs; however, there is a lack of conclusive studies performed demonstrating the reduction in long-term mortality rates. Considering the effectiveness of given modalities and taking into account the various studies described in the literature, Impella has reported better clinical outcomes although more clinical trials are needed for establishing the effectiveness of these interventional approaches in revascularization in cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
The mechanisms driving the pathologic state created by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remain poorly defined. We developed the first complete blood-primed murine model of veno-arterial ECMO capable of maintaining oxygenation and perfusion, allowing molecular studies that are unavailable in larger animal models. Fifteen C57BL/6 mice underwent ECMO by cannulating the left common carotid artery and the right external jugular vein. The mean arterial pressure was measured through cannulation of the femoral artery. The blood-primed circuit functioned well. Hemodynamic parameters remained stable and blood gas analyses showed adequate oxygenation of the animals during ECMO over a 1-hour timeframe. A significant increase in plasma-free hemoglobin was observed following ECMO, likely secondary to hemolysis within the miniaturized circuit components. Paralleling clinical data, ECMO resulted in a significant increase in plasma levels of multiple proinflammatory cytokines as well as evidence of early signs of kidney and liver dysfunction. These results demonstrate that this novel, miniature blood-primed ECMO circuit represents a functional murine model of ECMO that will provide unique opportunities for further studies to expand our knowledge of ECMO-related pathologies using the wealth of available genetic, pharmacological, and biochemical murine reagents not available for other species.

Abstract
(1) Introduction: Simultaneous ECMO and IABP therapy is frequently used. Haemodynamic changes responsible for the success of the concomitant mechanical circulatory support system approach are rarely investigated. In a large-animal model, we analysed haemodynamic parameters before and during ECMO therapy, comparing central and peripheral ECMO circulation with and without simultaneous IABP support. (2) Methods: Thirty-three female pigs were divided into five groups: (1) SHAM, (2) (peripheral)ECMO(-)IABP, (3) (p)ECMO(+)IABP, (4) (central)ECMO(-)IABP, and (5) (c)ECMO(+)IABP. Pigs were cannulated in accordance with the group and supported with ECMO (±IABP) for 10 h. Systemic haemodynamics, cardiac index (CI), and coronary and carotid artery blood flow were determined before, directly after, and at five and ten hours on extracorporeal support. Systemic inflammation (IL-6; IL-10; TNFα; IFNγ), immune response (NETs; cf-DNA), and endothelial injury (ET-1) were also measured. (3) Results: IABP support during antegrade ECMO circulation led to a significant reduction of left ventricular pressure in comparison to retrograde flow in (p)ECMO(-)IABP and (p)ECMO(+)IABP. Blood flow in the left anterior coronary and carotid artery was not affected by extracorporeal circulation. (4) Conclusions: Concomitant central ECMO and IABP therapy leads to significant reduction of intracavitary cardiac pressure, reduces cardiac work, and might therefore contribute to improved recovery in ECMO patients.

Utility of D-dimers in COVID-19 Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. ASAIO J 2022; 68:1241-1248.

Abstract
A retrospective study was performed examining the trend of inflammatory markers, including D-dimers, in 29 COVID-19 patients requiring veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. We observed that COVID-19 patients with pre-cannulation D-dimer levels >3,000 ng/mL had a significantly shorter time from admission to cannulation (4.78 vs . 8.44 days, p = 0.049) compared to those with D-dimer <3,000 ng/mL. Furthermore, patients with D-dimer >3,000 ng/mL had a trend of lower pH (7.24 vs . 7.33), higher pCO 2 (61.33 vs . 50.69), and higher vasoactive inotropic score (7.23 vs . 3.97) at time of cannulation, however, these were not statistically significant. This cohort of patients also required a longer duration of ECMO support (51.44 vs . 31.25 days). However, 13 patients required at least one ECMO-circuit exchange and 16 patients did not require any exchanges. There was a consistent drop in D-dimer values after every circuit exchange, which was not observed in any of the other examined inflammatory markers, including ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase, or C-reactive protein. We propose that elevated D-dimer levels (>3,000 ng/mL) reflect increased disease severity in COVID-19, and predict a longer ECMO course. Once on ECMO, however, the D-Dimer level consistently decreased with every circuit exchange, which may reflect thrombus within the oxygenator rather than just disease severity.

Different Acute Kidney Injury Patterns after Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911000.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in thoracic organ transplantation. However, multiple other factors contribute to AKI development after these procedures such as renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) due to hypo-perfusion of the kidney during surgery. In this study, we aimed to explore the kidney injury patterns in mouse models of ECMO and renal IRI. Kidneys of C57BL/6 mice were examined after moderate (35 min) and severe (45 min) unilateral transient renal pedicle clamping and 2 h of veno-venous ECMO. Renal injury markers, neutrophil infiltration, tubular transport function, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and renal heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression were determined by immunofluorescence and qPCR. Both procedures caused AKI, but with different injury patterns. Severe neutrophil infiltration of the kidney was evident after renal IRI, but not following ECMO. Tubular transport function was severely impaired after renal IRI, but preserved in the ECMO group. Both procedures caused upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the renal tissue, but with different time kinetics. After ECMO, but not IRI, HO-1 was strongly induced in tubular cells indicating contact with hemolysis-derived proteins. After IRI, HO-1 was expressed on infiltrating myeloid cells in the tubulo-interstitial space. In conclusion, renal IRI and ECMO both caused AKI, but kidney damage after renal IRI was more pronounced including severe neutrophil infiltration and tubular transport impairment. Enhanced HO-1 expression in tubular cells after ECMO encourages limitation of hemolysis as a therapeutic approach to reduce ECMO-associated AKI.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving support for respiratory and cardiovascular failure. However, ECMO induces a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that can lead to various complications, including endothelial dysfunction in the cerebral circulation. We aimed to investigate whether ECMO-associated endothelial dysfunction also affected coronary circulation. Ten-day-old piglets were randomized to undergo either 8 h of veno-arterial ECMO (n = 5) or no treatment (Control, n = 5). Hearts were harvested and coronary arteries were dissected and mounted as 3 mm rings in organ baths for isometric force measurement. Following precontraction with the thromboxane prostanoid (TP) receptor agonist U46619, concentration−response curves to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator bradykinin (BK) and the nitric oxide (NO) donor (endothelium-independent vasodilator) sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were performed. Relaxation to BK was studied in the absence or presence of the NO synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester HCl (L-NAME). U46619-induced contraction and SNP-induced relaxation were similar in control and ECMO coronary arteries. However, BK-induced relaxation was significantly impaired in the ECMO group (30.4 ± 2.2% vs. 59.2 ± 2.1%; p < 0.0001). When L-NAME was present, no differences in BK-mediated relaxation were observed between the control and ECMO groups. Taken together, our data suggest that ECMO exposure impairs endothelium-derived NO-mediated coronary relaxation. However, there is a NO-independent component in BK-induced relaxation that remains unaffected by ECMO. In addition, the smooth muscle cell response to exogenous NO is not altered by ECMO exposure.

Abstract
Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is used in the most severe cases of respiratory failure and further exacerbates the patients’ inflammatory status. Antithrombin is supplemented during ECMO for its anticoagulant effects, but it also deploys anti-inflammatory properties. In this pre-specified ancillary study of the GATRA trial [NCT03208270] we aimed to evaluate the relationship between antithrombin and inflammation during ECMO. Forty-six patients were included in the study, 23 were randomized to receive antithrombin to maintain a level of 80–120% (study group) and 23 were randomized not to be supplemented (control group). Anticoagulation was provided in both groups with heparin infusion. Six cytokines were measured at 5 timepoints from prior to ECMO start to 7 days after ECMO removal. Cytokines decreased during the study but overall were not very different in the two groups. Testing the interaction between the study group and timepoints suggests that the administration of antithrombin led to a more rapid decrease over time of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-⍺ and Pro-ADM. Plasma levels of antithrombin (either endogenous or exogenous) were negatively associated with all cytokines. Inflammation decreases during ECMO but a causal effect of antithrombin administration on the reduction of inflammation (and its clinical relevance) must be confirmed by appropriately powered studies.

Abstract
The concept of extracorporeal organ support (ECOS) encompasses kidney, respiratory, cardiac and hepatic support. In an era of increasing incidence and survival of patients with single or multiple organ failure, knowledge on both multiorgan crosstalk and the physiopathological consequences of extracorporeal organ support have become increasingly important. Immerse within the cross-talk of multiple organ failure (MOF), Acute kidney injury (AKI) may be a part of the clinical presentation in patients undergoing ECOS, either as a concurrent clinical issue since the very start of ECOS or as a de novo event at any point in the clinical course. At any point during the clinical course of a patient with single or multiple organ failure undergoing ECOS, renal function may improve or deteriorate, as a result of the interaction of multiple factors, including multiorgan crosstalk and physiological consequences of ECOS. Common physiopathological ways in which ECOS may influence renal function includes: 1) multiorgan crosstalk (preexisting or de-novo 2)Hemodynamic changes and 3) ECOS-associated coagulation abnormalities and 3) Also, cytokine profile switch, neurohumoral changes and toxins clearance may contribute to the expected physiological changes related to ECOS. The main objective of this review is to summarize the described mechanisms influencing the renal function during the course of ECOS, including renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation/carbon dioxide removal and albumin dialysis.

Pediatric ECMO: unfavorable outcomes are associated with inflammation and endothelial activation. Pediatr Res 2022; 92:549-556.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory and endothelial activation responses during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in children are poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to determine if circulating inflammatory, endothelial activation, and fibrinolytic markers are associated with mortality and with neurologic outcomes in children on ECMO. METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis of a two-center prospective observational study of 99 neonatal and pediatric ECMO patients. Inflammatory (interferon gamma [IFNγ], interleukin-6 [IL-6], IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNFα]), endothelial activation (E-selectin, P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-3 [ICAM-3], thrombomodulin [TM]), and fibrinolytic markers (tissue plasminogen activator [tPA], plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PAI-1]) were measured in plasma on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and every third day thereafter during the ECMO course. RESULTS All ECMO day 1 inflammatory biomarkers were significantly elevated in children with abnormal vs. normal neuroimaging. ECMO day 1 and peak levels of IL-6 and PAI-1 were significantly elevated in children who died compared to those who survived to hospital discharge. Tested biomarkers showed no significant association with long-term neurobehavioral outcomes measured using the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales, Second Edition. CONCLUSIONS High levels of circulating inflammatory, endothelial activation, and fibrinolytic markers are associated with mortality and abnormal neuroimaging in children on ECMO. IMPACT The inflammatory, endothelial activation, and fibrinolytic profile of children on ECMO differs by primary indication for extracorporeal support. Proinflammatory biomarkers on ECMO day 1 are associated with abnormal neurologic imaging in children on ECMO in univariable but not multivariable models. In multivariable models, a pronounced proinflammatory and prothrombotic biomarker profile on ECMO day 1 and longitudinally was significantly associated with mortality. Further studies are needed to identify inflammatory, endothelial, and fibrinolytic profiles associated with increased risk for neurologic injury and mortality through potential mediation of bleeding and thrombosis.

Abstract
Nafamostat mesylate (NM) affects coagulation and fibrinolysis and impedes obesity-associated protein demethylase activity, which regulates Na+/K+ transport properties and the NF-κB signaling pathway. NM significantly decreases macrophage, neutrophil, and T lymphocyte infiltration, thereby reducing inflammation and apoptosis after reperfusion and promoting recovery in patients with severe conditions such as near-fatal asthma and cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices are used for cardiac and/or pulmonary support as a bridge to recovery, decision, surgery, or transplant in patients with refractory cardio-circulatory or respiratory diseases and provide essential opportunities for organ support and patient survival. However, they can lead to some potential adverse events such as hemorrhage and thrombosis. NM provides a sustained innate immune response of coagulation and anti-inflammation in extracorporeal circuits, principally due to its activation of the contact and complement systems. Heparin is the main anticoagulant used in extracorporeal circuits; however, it may cause massive bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Although no antidote is available, NM has a very short half-life of approximately 8-10 min and might have positive effects on patients who require coagulation and anti-inflammation. NM has been used for anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, hemodialysis, and left ventricular assist devices. In this review, we focused on the pharmacology, monitoring parameters, and considerations for the special use of NM in patients receiving ECLS. Our findings suggest that systemic anticoagulation with NM during ECLS might be a feasible and safe alternative with several advantages for critically ill patients with high-risk bleeding and might improve their prognosis.

Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) procedures, such as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), take over the function of one or more organs, providing clinicians time to treat underlying pathophysiological conditions. ECMO and CPB carry significant mortality rates for patients, despite prior decades of research focused on the resulting failure of critical organs. Since the focus of these procedures is to support blood flow and provide oxygen-rich blood to tissues, a shift in research toward the effects of ECMO and CPB on the microcirculation is warranted. Along with provoking systemic responses, both procedures disrupt the integrity of red blood cells, causing release of hemoglobin (Hb) from excessive foreign surface contact and mechanical stresses. The effects of hemolysis are especially pronounced in the microcirculation, where plasma Hb leads to nitric oxide scavenging, oxidization, formation of reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory responses. A limited number of studies have investigated the implications of ECMO in the microcirculation, but more work is needed to minimize ECMO-induced reduction of microcirculatory perfusion and consequently oxygenation. The following review presents existing information on the implications of ECMO and CPB on microvascular function and proposes future studies to understand and leverage key mechanisms to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS To identify clinical and biochemical markers associated with nutrition adequacy and gastrointestinal and liver dysfunction in adults on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). METHODS A retrospective, observational, study was conducted at 2 centres in Australia. Adult patients who received ECMO from July 2011 to June 2015 were included. Mode of ECMO used, fluid balance, number of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria present, vasoactive-inotropic scores (VIS) and liver function tests (LFTs) were collected for the duration of ECMO until 7 days after ECMO cessation. Multiple regression models were used to determine if the collected variables were associated with nutrition adequacy. The mean LFTs during ECMO were also compared to mean LFTs post ECMO cessation. RESULTS During the first 5 days of ECMO commencement, mean nutrition adequacy was 10% higher in the veno-venous (VV) ECMO group than in the veno-arterial (VA) group (95% confidence interval [CI], 2% to 17%). For every 5,000 ml increase of fluid balance, an associated decrease in nutrition adequacy was observed (-8%, 95% CI, -15% to -2%). A doubling of bilirubin and VIS were associated with a mean reduction in nutrition adequacy of -5% (CI -8% to -2%) and -2% (CI, -3% to -1%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the first 5 days of ECMO commencement, higher nutrition adequacy was associated with the VV mode of ECMO and reduced nutrition adequacy with increased fluid balance, more vasopressor and inotropic support and raised bilirubin. Prospective investigation is required to confirm whether these associations have a causal relationship.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication post-PCI. Here, in a single-center observational registry, we compared the frequency of AKI in patients at elevated risk for AKI (based on Mehran risk stratification scoring) who underwent VA-ECMO- or Impella-supported high-risk PCI. A total of 28 patients scheduled for elective high-risk PCI with mechanical circulatory support were studied prospectively. All patients were turned down for surgery due to exceedingly high risk. Allocation to VA-ECMO (n=11) or Impella (n=17) was performed according to site-specific restrictions on the daily availability of the VA-ECMO platform as a prospective enrollment and performed prior to initiation of PCI. We analyzed AKI incidence as our primary endpoint, as well as PCI success, duration, and peripheral complications. All patients were successfully revascularized and had MCS weaned at the end of the procedure. Baseline GFR and procedural contrast media were similar. Despite similar risks for AKI as calculated by the Mehran score (35 ± 18.9 vs. 31 ± 16.6 %; p=0.55), patients supported by Impella during PCI demonstrated a reduced incidence of AKI (55 vs. 12 %; p=0.03). MCS-assisted high-risk PCI with VA-ECMO or Impella is feasible. However, Impella is associated with a shorter procedure time and a lower incidence of AKI.

Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) systems, including cardiopulmonary bypass, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have been an irreplaceable part of the cardiothoracic surgeries, and treatment of critically ill patients with respiratory and/or cardiac failure for more than half a century. During the recent decades, the concept of extracorporeal circulation has been extended to isolated machine perfusion of the donor organ including thoracic organs (ex-situ organ perfusion, ESOP) as a method for dynamic, semi-physiologic preservation, and potential improvement of the donor organs. The extracorporeal life support systems (ECLS) have been lifesaving and facilitating complex cardiothoracic surgeries, and the ESOP technology has the potential to increase the number of the transplantable donor organs, and to improve the outcomes of transplantation. However, these artificial circulation systems in general have been associated with activation of the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses in patients and/or in the exposed tissues and organs. The activation of these responses can negatively affect patient outcomes in ECLS, and may as well jeopardize the reliability of the organ viability assessment, and the outcomes of thoracic organ preservation and transplantation in ESOP. Both ECLS and ESOP consist of artificial circuit materials and components, which play a key role in the induction of these responses. However, while ECLS can lead to systemic inflammatory and oxidative stress responses negatively affecting various organs/systems of the body, in ESOP, the absence of the organs that play an important role in oxidant scavenging/antioxidative replenishment of the body, such as liver, may make the perfused organ more susceptible to inflammation and oxidative stress during extracorporeal circulation. In the present manuscript, we will review the activation of the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses during ECLP and ESOP, mechanisms involved, clinical implications, and the interventions for attenuating these responses in ECC.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a procedure used to aid respiratory function in critical patients, involving extracorporeal circulation (ECC) of blood. There is a limited number of studies quantifying the hemodynamic effects of ECC procedures on the microcirculation. We sought to mimic veno-arterial-ECMO flow conditions by use of a scaled-down circuit primed with either lactate Ringer (LR) or 5% human serum albumin (HSA). The circuit was first tested using benchtop runs with blood, and subsequently used for in vivo experiments in Golden Syrian hamsters instrumented with a dorsal window chamber to allow for quantification of microvascular hemodynamics and functional capillary density (FCD). Results showed significant impairment in FCD, and a reduction of arteriolar and venular blood flow, with HSA providing significant higher blood flows and FCD compared with LR. Changes in hematocrit and RBC labeling after ECC reflected a shift in plasma volume, which may stem from a loss in intravascular oncotic pressure due to priming fluids. The distribution of hemoglobin oxygen saturation in the microvasculature showed a significant decrease in venules after ECC. In addition, major organs such as the kidney and heart showed increases in both inflammatory and damage markers. These results suggest that ECC impairs microvasculature function and promotes ischemia and hypoxia in the tissues, which can be vital to understanding comorbid clinical outcomes from ECC procedures such as acute kidney injury and multiorgan dysfunction.NEW & NOTEWORTHY ECC reduces microvascular perfusion, with no full recovery 24 h after ECC. HSA performed better as compared with LR in terms of FCD and venule flow, as well as venule oxygen saturation. Increases in inflammatory and damage markers in key organs were observed within all organs analyzed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the inflammatory effects of different oxygenator flow pattern types in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS We designed this randomized, single-blind, prospective study of patients with coronary artery disease. We compared the systemic inflammatory effects of oxygenators with two types of flow: axial flow and radial flow. Therefore, we divided the patients into two groups: 24 patients in the axial group and 28 patients in the radial group. IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α were examined for cytokine activation leading to a systemic inflammatory reaction. The samples were collected at three different time intervals: T1, T2, and T3 (T1 was taken before cardiopulmonary bypass, T2 just 1 h after CPB onset, and T3 was taken 24 h after the surgery). RESULTS There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics between the two groups. We observed that there were notably lower levels of humoral inflammatory response parameters (IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α) in the radial flow oxygenator group than in the axial flow group at the specific sampling times. For IL-10, there was no significant difference for any time period. CONCLUSION It might be advantageous to use a radial-flow-patterned oxygenator to limit the inflammatory response triggered by the oxygenators in cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
Durable and temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) use is growing for a range of cardiovascular indications. Kidney dysfunction is common in people evaluated for or receiving durable or temporary MCS and portends worse outcomes. This kidney dysfunction can be due to preexisting kidney chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI) related to acute cardiovascular disease necessitating MCS, AKI due to cardiac procedures, and acute and chronic MCS effects and complications. Durable MCS, with implantable continuous flow pumps, is used for long-term support in advanced heart failure refractory to guideline-directed medical and device therapy, either permanently or as a bridge to heart transplantation. Temporary MCS-encompassing in this review intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP), axial flow pumps, centrifugal flow pumps, and venoarterial ECMO-is used for diverse situations: high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), acute decompensated heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and resuscitation after cardiac arrest. The wide adoption of MCS makes it imperative to improve understanding of the effects of MCS on kidney health/function and of kidney health/function on MCS outcomes. The complex structure and functions of the kidney, and the complex health states of individuals receiving MCS, makes investigations in this area challenging, and current knowledge is limited. Fortunately, the increasing nephrology toolbox of noninvasive kidney health/function assessments may enable development and testing of individualized management strategies and therapeutics in the future. We review technology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical considerations, and future directions in MCS and nephrology.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory bowel necrosis seen in premature infants. Although the etiopathogenesis of NEC is unclear, genetic factors may alter a patient's susceptibility, clinical course, and outcomes. This review draws from existing studies focused on individual genes and others based on microarray-based high-throughput discovery techniques. We have included evidence from our own studies and from an extensive literature search in the databases PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus. To avoid bias in the identification of studies, keywords were short-listed a priori from anecdotal experience and PubMed's Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) thesaurus.

Abstract
The "normal" immune response to an insult triggers a highly regulated response determined by the interaction of various immunocompetent cells with pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Under pathologic conditions, the massive elevation of cytokine levels ("cytokine storm") could not be controlled until the recent development of hemoadsorption devices that are able to extract a variety of different DAMPs, PAMPs, and metabolic products from the blood. CytoSorb® has been approved for adjunctive sepsis therapy since 2011. This review aims to summarize theoretical knowledge, in vitro results, and clinical findings to provide the clinician with pragmatic guidance for daily practice. English-language and peer-reviewed literature identified by a selective literature search in PubMed and published between January 2016 and May 2021 was included. Hemoadsorption can be used successfully as adjunct to a complex therapeutic regimen for various conditions. To the contrary, this nonspecific intervention may potentially worsen patient outcomes in complex immunological processes. CytoSorb® therapy appears to be safe and useful in various diseases (e.g., rhabdomyolysis, liver failure, or intoxications) as well as in septic shock or cytokine release syndrome, although a conclusive assessment of treatment benefit is not possible and no survival benefit has yet been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Introduction There is limited data on the impact of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on pulmonary physiology and imaging in adult patients. The current study sought to evaluate the serial changes in oxygenation and pulmonary opacities after ECMO initiation. Methods Records of patients started on veno-venous, or veno-arterial ECMO were reviewed (n=33; mean (SD): age 50(16) years; Male: Female 20:13). Clinical and laboratory variables before and after ECMO, including daily PaO2 to FiO2 ratio (PFR), were recorded. Daily chest radiographs (CXR) were prospectively appraised in a blinded fashion and scored for the extent and severity of opacities using an objective scoring system. Results ECMO was associated with impaired oxygenation as reflected by the drop in median PFR from 101 (interquartile range, IQR: 63-151) at the initiation of ECMO to a post-ECMO trough of 74 (IQR: 56-98) on post-ECMO day 5. However, the difference was not statistically significant. The appraisal of daily CXR revealed progressively worsening opacities, as reflected by a significant increase in the opacity score (Wilk’s Lambda statistic 7.59, p=0.001). During the post-ECMO period, a >10% increase in the opacity score was recorded in 93.9% of patients. There was a negative association between PFR and opacity scores, with an average one-unit decrease in the PFR corresponding to a +0.010 increase in the opacity score (95% confidence interval: 0.002 to 0.019, p-value=0.0162). The median opacity score on each day after ECMO initiation remained significantly higher than the pre-ECMO score. The most significant increase in the opacity score (9, IQR: -8 to 16) was noted on radiographs between pre-ECMO and forty-eight hours post-ECMO. The severity of deteriorating oxygenation or pulmonary opacities was not associated with hospital survival. Conclusions The use of ECMO is associated with an increase in bilateral opacities and a deterioration in oxygenation that starts early and peaks around 48 hours after ECMO initiation.

Evaluation of the Oxiris Membrane in Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: Study Protocol for a Single Center, Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:738496. [PMID: 34708091 PMCID: PMC8544809 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.738496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is the rescue treatment proposed to patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. The VA-ECMO implantation promotes inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion injuries through the VA-ECMO flow, causing digestive mucosa barrier disrupture and inducing translocation of bacterial wall components-Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) with further inflammation and circulatory impairment. LPS is a well-studied surrogate indicator of bacterial translocation. Oxiris membrane is a promising and well-tolerated device that can specifically remove LPS. The main study aim is to compare the LPS elimination capacity of Oxiris membrane vs. a non-absorbant classical renal replacement (RRT) membrane in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring VA-ECMO. Methods: ECMORIX is a randomized, prospective, single-center, single-blind, parallel-group, controlled study. It compares the treatment with Oxiris membrane vs. the standard continuous renal replacement therapy care in patients with cardiogenic shock support by peripheral VA-ECMO. Forty patients will be enrolled in both treatment groups. The primary endpoint is the value of LPS serum levels after 24 h of treatment. LPS serum levels will be monitored during the first 72 h of treatment, as clinical and cardiac ultrasound parameters, biological markers of inflammation and 30-day mortality. Discussion: Oxiris membrane appears to be beneficial in controlling the VA-ECMO-induced ischemia-reperfusion inflammation by LPS removal. ECMORIX results will be of major importance in the management of severe cases requiring VA-ECMO and will bring pathophysiological insights about the LPS role in this context.

Abstract
RATIONALE Increased cytokine response is common in patients receiving extracorporeal life support and is often a poor prognostic indicator. There is interest in using adjunctive cytokine adsorption technologies to reduce inflammatory burden, However, it is debated whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) itself provides therapeutic benefit beyond gas exchange. Thus, we sought to characterize the inflammatory profile of ECMO in the first 72-96 h of and quantify its effect on cytokine levels in a case series of patients undergoing ECMO. METHODS Eight patients initiating ECMO were studied. Of these, we measured cytokines pre- and post-oxygenator over 96 h. Comparisons of cytokine levels were made across the oxygenator and over time. RESULTS The average age of patients was 64.3 years with 62% being male. Centrally cannulated patients had higher IL-6 levels (820.43 vs. 6907.53 pg/ml, p < 0.03), whereas peripherally cannulated patients had higher IL-12p70 levels (7.73 vs. 2.59 pg/ml, p < 0.05). Cytokine levels on day one included IL-12p70 (4.17 ± 2.56), IL-6 (4971.23 ± 8569.88), TNF (undetected), IL-8 (346.68 ± 670.18), IL-1B (undetected), and IL-10 (72.27 ± 87.9). Cytokine levels increased over 96 h; however, no significant differences were appreciated despite blood product transfusion. On day 3, IL-12p70 levels were significantly lower post-oxygenator (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The inflammatory profile of ECMO does not change significantly over the early course of illness when accounting for transfusion. However, the decrease in IL-12p70 specifically at day 3 of ECMO may indicate adsorption of specific inflammatory markers by the oxygenator although the clinical significance of this is still unknown. Further investigation of the oxygenator on cytokine response is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the role of YTHDF1 knock-down macrophages on the immunity of severe sepsis rats with ECMO. METHODS 15 SD rats were randomly allocated into 3 groups: mild sepsis (I), severe sepsis with ECMO (II), and YTHDF1 knock-down macrophages treatment groups (III). Blood biochemical indexes, different immune factors and brain changes were detected by RT-PCR, ELISA, ELISPOT and HE staining. Isolated macrophages subtypes and signal proteins were detected by flow cytometry, western blot and m6A RNA methylation test. RESULTS The levels of HMGB1, RAGE, YTHDF1 and IL-17 in peripheral blood were significantly higher (p < 0.01), while the level of CXCL9 and TNF-α, and LPS-specific CD8+CTL function were significantly decreased in group II compared with group I (p < 0.01). The ratio of CD63+ macrophages (p < 0.05) and CD64+ macrophages (p< 0.05) decreased and the level of elastase (p < 0.01) and CCR2highCX3CR1low/CCR2lowCX3CR1high (p < 0.01) of macrophages increased in group II. The above were consistent with the severity of biochemical indicators, the increasing endothelial injury factor (Ang2/Ang1), lower endothelial protective factor (sTie2), severer brain injury in group II. After YTHDF1 knock-down macrophages treatment, the above indexes' changes were opposite when Group III versus Group II through the down-regulation of m6A RNA methylation of JAK2/STAT3 (p < 0.01) and protein expression of PJAK2/PSTAT3 (p < 0.05) in isolated macrophages. CONCLUSIONS YTHDF1 knock-down macrophages improved the immune paralysis of macrophages, Th1/Th17 and CTL and reduced the entry of macrophages into the brain to cause endothelial damage of severe sepsis rats with ECMO through the inhibition of HMGB1/RAGE and YTHDF1, m6A RNA methylation of JAK2/STAT3 and PJAK2/PSTAT3 proteins expression in macrophages.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for patients suffering from respiratory or cardiac failure. The ECMO-associated morbidity and mortality depends to a large extent on the underlying disease and is often related to systemic inflammation, consecutive immune paralysis and sepsis. Here we tested the hypothesis that human α1-antitrypsin (SERPINA1) due to its anti-protease and anti-inflammatory functions may attenuate ECMO-induced inflammation. We specifically aimed to test whether intravenous treatment with α1-antitrypsin reduces the release of cytokines in response to 2 h of experimental ECMO. Adult rats were intravenously infused with α1-antitrypsin immediately before starting veno-arterial ECMO. We measured selected pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and found, that systemic levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 increase during experimental ECMO. As tachycardia and hypertension developed in response to α1-antitrypsin, a single additional bolus of fentanyl and midazolam was given. Treatment with α1-antitrypsin and higher sedative doses reduced all cytokine levels investigated. We suggest that α1-antitrypsin might have the potential to protect against both ECMO-induced systemic inflammation and immune paralysis. More studies are needed to corroborate our findings, to clarify the mechanisms by which α1-antitrypsin inhibits cytokine release in vivo and to explore the potential application of α1-antitrypsin in clinical ECMO.

Abstract
Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in cardiac arrest (CA). There are limited contemporary data on the incidence and outcomes of AKI in CA.Methods: We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PUBMED, and the Cochrane from inception to November 2020. Observational studies that reported the incidence of AKI in CA survivors were included. Data from each study were combined using the random effects to calculate pooled incidence and risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The primary outcome was short-term mortality and secondary outcomes included long-term mortality, incidence of AKI, and use of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed to explore heterogeneity.Main results: A total of 25 observational studies comprising 8,165 patients were included. The incidence of AKI in CA survivors was 40.3% (range 32.9-47.8%). In stage 3 AKI, one-fourth of patients required RRT. AKI was associated with an increased risk of both short-term (OR 2.27 [95% CI 1.74-2.96]; p < 0.001) and long-term mortality (OR 1.51 [95% CI 1.93-3.25]; p < 0.001). Meta-regression and subgroup analyses did not suggest any effect of hypothermia on incidence of AKI.Conclusion: AKI complicates the care of 40% of CA survivors and is associated with significantly increased short- and long-term mortality.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock accounts for ~100,000 annual hospital admissions in the United States. Despite improvements in medical management strategies, in-hospital mortality remains unacceptably high. Multiple mechanical circulatory support devices have been developed with the aim to provide hemodynamic support and to improve outcomes in this population. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is the most advanced temporary life support system that is unique in that it provides immediate and complete hemodynamic support as well as concomitant gas exchange. In this review, we discuss the fundamental concepts and hemodynamic aspects of VA-ECMO support in patients with cardiogenic shock of various etiologies. In addition, we review the common indications, contraindications and complications associated with VA-ECMO use.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is frequently used in many centers around the globe for various indications. However, prognosis is often poor even with all supportive therapies, and in many cases, clinical deterioration is associated with inflammation. Hemoadsorption with CytoSorb is a novel approach to limit the inflammatory response, and the device can be safely and easily installed into ECMO circuits. CytoSorb has been used more than 130.000 times to date, but because randomized controlled trials are largely lacking, there is substantial debate on its use. Here, experts from critical care medicine, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and perfusion technology discuss the pros and cons of this novel therapy and outline the future aspects for its clinical application and research.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective means to provide life support for patients with severe respiratory or heart failure. Existing studies have shown that ECMO may affect the metabolic process of some drugs by drug adsorption, increasing the apparent distribution volume and changing the clearance rate of the drugs. This review summarizes the recent progress in the studies of the effect of ECMO on the pharmacokinetics of antibacterial and antifungal drugs. For the antibacterial drugs, it is recommended that the dose of teicoplanin, imipenem, and linezolid should be increased during ECMO support, while the dose of azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and tigecycline should not be modified for the time being. Currently studies on pharmacokinetic changes of antifungal drugs during ECMO support remain limited. Voriconazole can be absorbed substantially by ECMO due to its high lipophilicity, and higher doses are therefore recommended. The dose of micafungin also needs to be increased in children undergoing ECMO. However, current evidence concerning the dose of caspofungin and fluconazole are limited, and it is not clear whether the routine dose should be adjusted during ECMO support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies have suggested that adjusting ventilator settings based on transpulmonary pressure measurements may minimize ventilator-induced lung injury, but this has never been investigated in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome supported with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We aimed to evaluate whether a transpulmonary pressure-guided ventilation strategy would increase the proportion of patients successfully weaned from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. SETTING Sixteen-bed, respiratory ICU at a tertiary academic medical center. PATIENTS Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome patients receiving venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. INTERVENTIONS One-hundred four patients were randomized to transpulmonary pressure-guided ventilation group (n = 52) or lung rest strategy group (n = 52) groups. Two patients had cardiac arrest during establishment of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the lung rest group did not receive the assigned intervention. Thus, 102 patients were included in the analysis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The proportion of patients successfully weaned from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the transpulmonary pressure-guided group was significantly higher than that in the lung rest group (71.2% vs 48.0%; p = 0.017). Compared with the lung rest group, driving pressure, tidal volumes, and mechanical power were significantly lower, and positive end-expiratory pressure was significantly higher, in the transpulmonary pressure-guided group during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. In the transpulmonary pressure-guided group, levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 were significantly lower, and interleukin-10 was significantly higher, than those of the lung rest group over time. Lung density was significantly lower in the transpulmonary pressure-guided group after venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support than in the lung rest group. CONCLUSIONS A transpulmonary pressure-guided ventilation strategy could increase the proportion of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome successfully weaned from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Abstract
Different arterial cannulation strategies are feasible for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in postcardiotomy shock. We aimed to analyze potential benefits and safety of different arterial cannulation strategies. We identified 158 patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock requiring VA-ECMO between 01/10 and 01/19. Eighty-eight patients were cannulated via axillary or femoral artery (group P), and 70 centrally via the ascending aorta directly or through an 8 mm vascular graft anastomosed to the ascending aorta (group C). Demographics and operative parameters were similar. Change of cannulation site for Harlequin's syndrome or hyperperfusion of an extremity occurred in 13 patients in group P but never in group C (p = 0.001). Surgical revision of cannulation site was also encountered more often in group P than C. The need for left ventricular (LV) unloading was similar between groups, whereas surgical venting was more often implemented in group C (11.4% vs. 2.3, p = 0.023). Stroke rates, renal failure, and peripheral ischemia were similar. Weaning rate from ECMO (52.9% vs. 52.3%, p = NS) was similar. The 30 day mortality was higher in group P (60% vs. 76.1%, p = 0.029). Central cannulation for VA-ECMO provides antegrade flow without Harlequin's syndrome, changes of arterial cannula site, and better 30 day survival. Complication rates regarding need for reexploration and transfusion requirements were similar.

Abstract
To observe the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) combined with low-flow extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) of V-V mode on anti-inflammation, improving oxygenation and reducing PaCO2 in canines with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hypercapnia. A total of 30 healthy adult canines were randomly divided into sham group (n = 10), ECMO (EC) group (n = 10) and CRRT + ECMO (CR + EC) group (n = 10). Sham group was only treated with invasive mechanical ventilation. EC group was also treated with ECMO. CR + EC group was treated with CRRT combined with low-flow ECMO of V-V mode besides invasive mechanical ventilation. The results showed that hazard ratio was lower in the CR + EC group. Inflammatory factors, OI values, and PaCO2 levels were lower in the CR + EC group. There was no significant difference in the levels of MAP, CO and T among the three groups. No significant complications or death was developed in the three groups. Compared with ECMO group at T3, T6 and T9, IL-6 [(276.13 ± 8.32, 262.04 ± 7.15, 259.33 ± 7.31)ng/L VS (352.67 ± 19.24, 360.24 ± 23.58, 362.21 ± 25.24)ng/L] and TNF-α [(50.14 ± 1.75, 50.45 ± 1.81, 48.03 ± 1.24) ng/L VS (70.25 ± 3.02, 72.45 ± 3.25, 76.69 ± 2.18)ng/L] in CR + EC group were decreased (P < 0.0001). Compared with sham group, IL-6 [(343.76 ± 21.97, 345.91 ± 19.89, 340.34 ± 22.17)ng/L]and TNF-α [(68.10 ± 2.96, 67.31 ± 3.01, 70.34 ± 3.35)ng/L] of T3, T6 and T9 in CR + EC group were lower (P < 0.0001). These findings indicated that CRRT combined with low-flow ECMO of V-V mode had a positive effect on anti-inflammation, oxygenation improvement and surplus blood CO2 removal in canines with ARDS and hypercapnia. These results provide a promising treatment regimen for ARDS.

Abstract
Background The clinical relevance of inflammation induced by elective perioperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) usage as an integral part of modern lung transplantation (LUTX) remains elusive. The aim of this study was to determine the perioperative cytokine response accompanying major thoracic surgery employing different extracorporeal devices comprising ECMO, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), or no extracorporeal circulation in relation to inflammation, clinically tangible as increased sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, called SOFA. Methods In this prospective, observational pilot study 42 consecutive patients with end-stage pulmonary disease undergoing LUTX; 15 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy and 15 patients with lung cancer undergoing major lung resections were analysed. Cytokine serum concentrations and SOFA were determined before, at end of surgery and in the following postoperative days. Results LUTX on ECMO and pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) on CPB triggered an immediate increase in cytokine serum concentrations at end of surgery: IL-6: 66-fold and 71-fold, IL-10: 3-fold and 2.5-fold, ST2/IL-33R: 5-fold and 4-fold and SOFA: 10.5±2.8 and 10.7±1.7, that decreased sharply to baseline levels from postoperative day 1–5. Despite low perioperative mortality (3 patients, 4.1%) extremely high SOFA ≥13 was associated with mortality after LUTX. Delta-SOFA distinguished survivors from non-survivors: −4.5±3.2 vs. −0.3±1.5 (P=0.001). Increased IL-6 serum concentrations were predictive for increased SOFA (sensitivity: 97%, specificity: 80%). Peak cytokine serum concentrations correlated with ECC duration, maximal lactate, transfusion of red-blood-cells, fresh-frozen-plasma, and catecholamine support. Conclusions LUTX and PEA on extracorporeal circulation with an excellent outcome triggered an immediate rise and concomitant fall of inflammation as observed in cytokine serum concentrations and SOFA. High absolute SOFA in the presence of an uncomplicated postoperative course may pertain to specific management strategies rather than organ failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to characterize acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid overload (FO), and renal replacement therapy (RRT) utilization by diagnostic categories and examine associations between these complications and mortality by category. METHODS To test our hypotheses, we conducted a retrospective multicenter, cohort study including 446 neonates (categories: 209 with cardiac disease, 114 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia [CDH], 123 with respiratory disease) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2011. RESULTS AKI, FO, and RRT each varied by diagnostic category. AKI and RRT receipt were most common in those neonates with cardiac disease. Subjects with CDH had highest peak %FO (51% vs. 28% cardiac vs. 32% respiratory; p < 0.01). Hospital survival was 55% and varied by diagnostic category (45% cardiac vs. 48% CDH vs. 79% respiratory; p < 0.001). A significant interaction suggested risk of mortality differed by diagnostic category in the presence or absence of AKI. In its absence, diagnosis of CDH (vs. respiratory disease) (OR 3.04, 95% CL 1.14-8.11) independently predicted mortality. In all categories, peak %FO (OR 1.20, 95% CL 1.11-1.30) and RRT receipt (OR 2.12, 95% CL 1.20-3.73) were independently associated with mortality. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS Physiologically distinct ECMO diagnoses warrant individualized treatment strategies given variable incidence and effects of AKI, FO, and RRT by category on mortality.

Abstract
A plethora of leukocyte modulations have been reported in critically ill patients. Critical illnesses such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and cardiogenic shock, which potentially require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, are associated with changes in leukocyte numbers, phenotype, and functions. The changes observed in these illnesses could be compounded by exposure of blood to the non-endothelialized surfaces and non-physiological conditions of ECMO. This can result in further leukocyte activation, increased platelet-leukocyte interplay, pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulant state, alongside features of immunosuppression. However, the effects of ECMO on leukocytes, in particular their phenotypic and functional signatures, remain largely overlooked, including whether these changes have attributable mortality and morbidity. The aim of our narrative review is to highlight the importance of studying leukocyte signatures to better understand the development of complications associated with ECMO. Increased knowledge and appreciation of their probable role in ECMO-related adverse events may assist in guiding the design and establishment of targeted preventative actions.

Abstract
Adult extracorporal membrane oxygenation utilization in the ICU has rapidly increased. Newer technology and cannulation strategies and the complex hemodynamics make imaging interpretation challenging. There is also a high rate of complications. This review details the common indications, cannulation strategies, relevant hemodynamics and complications which impact imaging interpretation. Recommendations for modifying computed tomography protocols and techniques to obtain diagnostic images and some of the imaging pitfalls are also discussed.

Abstract
Low-tidal-volume ventilation decreases mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. This study investigated the effects of ultralow tidal ventilation under veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support in pigs with ARDS. Eight pigs were intubated and inoculated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus through bronchoscopy. Ultralow tidal ventilation (3 mL/kg) under extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support was applied to one group and high tidal ventilation (15 mL/kg) was applied to another group to maintain comparable oxygenation for 12 h without ECMO support. Each group had similar arterial blood gas values and hemodynamic variables at baseline and during the experiment. The high-tidal-volume ventilation group showed a gradual decline in arterial oxygen levels, and repeated ANOVA showed significant differences in oxygenation change over time in the ultralow tidal ventilation group. Inflammatory cytokine levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung ultrasound scores were similar between two groups. Histologic analysis showed that both groups developed pneumonia after 12 h; however, the ultralow tidal ventilation group had a lower lung injury score assessed by the pathologist. We developed the first ultralow-tidal-volume ventilation porcine model under veno-venous ECMO support. The ultralow-tidal-volume ventilation strategy can mitigate mechanical ventilator-associated lung injury.
