[PMID: 39060155 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2024.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate prevalence, risk factors, and in-hospital outcomes of comatose extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. DESIGN Retrospective observational. SETTING Tertiary academic hospital. PARTICIPANTS Adults received venoarterial (VA) or venovenous (VV) ECMO support between November 2017 and April 022. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We defined 24-hour off sedation as no sedative infusion (except dexmedetomidine) or paralytics administration over a continuous 24-hour period while on ECMO. Off-sedation coma (comaoff) was defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale score of ≤8 after achieving 24-hour off sedation. On-sedation coma (comaon) was defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale score of ≤8 during the entire ECMO course without off sedation for 24 hours. Neurological outcomes were assessed at discharge using the modified Rankin scale (good, 0-3; poor, 4-6). We included 230 patients (VA-ECMO 143, 65% male); 24-hour off sedation was achieved in 32.2% VA-ECMO and 26.4% VV-ECMO patients. Among all patients off sedation for 24 hours (n = 69), 56.5% VA-ECMO and 52.2% VV-ECMO patients experienced comaoff. Among those unable to be sedation free for 24 hours (n = 161), 50.5% VA-ECMO and 17.2% VV-ECMO had comaon. Comaoff was associated with poor outcomes (p < 0.05) in VA-ECMO and VV-ECMO groups, whereas comaon only impacted the VA-ECMO group outcomes. In a multivariable analysis, requirement of renal replacement therapy was an independent risk factor for comaoff after adjusting for ECMO configuration, after adjusting for ECMO configuration, acute brain injury, pre-ECMO partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, pH, and bicarbonate level (worst value within 24 hours before cannulation). CONCLUSIONS Comaoff was common and associated with poor outcomes at discharge. Requirement of renal replacement therapy was an independent risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on assessment and management of dyspnea in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock are lacking. The hypothesis was that increasing sweep gas flow through the venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator may decrease dyspnea in nonintubated venoarterial ECMO patients exhibiting clinically significant dyspnea, with a parallel reduction in respiratory drive. METHODS Nonintubated, spontaneously breathing, supine patients on venoarterial ECMO for cardiogenic shock who presented with a dyspnea visual analog scale (VAS) score of greater than or equal to 40/100 mm were included. Sweep gas flow was increased up to +6 l/min by three steps of +2 l/min each. Dyspnea was assessed with the dyspnea-VAS and the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile. The respiratory drive was assessed by the electromyographic activity of the alae nasi and parasternal muscles. RESULTS A total of 21 patients were included in the study. Upon inclusion, median dyspnea-VAS was 50 (interquartile range, 45 to 60) mm, and sweep gas flow was 1.0 l/min (0.5 to 2.0). An increase in sweep gas flow significantly decreased dyspnea-VAS (50 [45 to 60] at baseline vs. 20 [10 to 30] at 6 l/min; P < 0.001). The decrease in dyspnea was greater for the sensory component of dyspnea (-50% [-43 to -75]) than for the affective and emotional components (-17% [-0 to -25] and -12% [-0 to -17]; P < 0.001). An increase in sweep gas flow significantly decreased electromyographic activity of the alae nasi and parasternal muscles (-23% [-36 to -10] and -20 [-41 to -0]; P < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between the sweep gas flow and the dyspnea-VAS (r = -0.91; 95% CI, -0.94 to -0.87), between the respiratory drive and the sensory component of dyspnea (r = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.44) between the respiratory drive and the affective component of dyspnea (r = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.54) and between the sweep gas flow and the alae nasi and parasternal (r = -0.31; 95% CI, -0.44 to -0.22; and r = -0.25; 95% CI, -0.44 to -0.16). CONCLUSIONS In critically ill patients with venoarterial ECMO, an increase in sweep gas flow through the oxygenation membrane decreases dyspnea, possibly mediated by a decrease in respiratory drive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral cannulated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been associated with neurologic complications in the lower extremity ipsilateral to the cannulation. There is uncertainty about the prevalence of these complications and their mechanisms of development. OBJECTIVE Aim of this systematic review was to investigate the prevalence of neurological complications after ECMO and to describe possible underlying mechanisms. METHOD A systematic literature search was performed in Medline-Ovid, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and PEDro until April 2021 for clinical trials in English or German language which quantified neurologic complications in the lower extremity ipsilateral to the ECMO cannulation of adults. The complications had to be delimitable to intensive care unit-acquired weakness. Methodological quality was assessed by 2 independent investigators using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. RESULTS Eight observational studies were included in the synthesis. Study quality was good to fair in 88% of the papers. Overall, 47 of 202 patients (23.3%; ranging from 3% to 48% across studies) with femoral ECMO cannulation showed neurologic complications of the lower extremity ipsilateral to the cannulation. Peripheral ischemia and compression of nerves by the ECMO cannula are discussed as mechanisms of injury. CONCLUSION The occurrence of neurological complications after ECMO was common and can lead to long-term impairment. The mechanisms are largely unknown but currently there is no sufficient evidence for the involvement of ECMO. Standardized assessments are needed to systematically screen for neurological complications early after ECMO, to enable countermeasures and prevent further complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) utilization has surged in recent years, particularly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, yet standardization of ECMO-associated infection (EAI) reporting remains lacking. METHODS This systematic review assessed 60 studies from 2018 to 2023 in PubMed, which used key words related to EAIs. Adherence to reporting data elements that may bias reporting, including the use of standardized rates of infections per 1,000 patient days, describing the use of antimicrobial prophylaxis, infection control, and culture practices, describing the definitions for infection by site, and listing pathogens by infection site were evaluated by study. RESULTS Our review revealed considerable heterogeneity in data elements and infection definitions. While 51 (85%) studies reported definition by site, only 17 (28%) reported infection control practices, and only 5 (8%) studies adhered to all the identified essential reporting elements. Variation in infection rates was also evident across the definitions, with studies using their own definition having the greatest variability in reported infection rates. Microbiological differences by geographic region further underscored the need for standardized reporting and challenges with generalizability in the EAI literature. CONCLUSIONS Our findings underscore the imperative for consensus on ECMO infection definitions and transparent reporting practices to facilitate meaningful comparisons and advance patient care protocols.

Abstract
This review aims to enhance the comprehension and management of cardiopulmonary interactions in critically ill patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing mechanical ventilation. Highlighting the significance of maintaining a delicate balance, this article emphasizes the crucial role of adjusting ventilation parameters based on both invasive and noninvasive monitoring. It provides recommendations for the induction and liberation from mechanical ventilation. Special attention is given to the identification of auto-PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) and other situations that may impact hemodynamics and patients' outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a chronic disease that can rapidly deteriorate into circulatory collapse when complicated by comorbidities. We herein describe a case involving a 43-year-old woman with class III obesity (body mass index of 63 kg/m2) and severe CTEPH associated with total occlusion of the left main pulmonary artery who subsequently developed circulatory collapse along with multiple comorbidities, including acute kidney injury, pulmonary tuberculosis, and catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. The patient was successfully treated with two sessions of rescue balloon pulmonary angioplasty with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) support under local anesthesia without sedation, at cannulation and during the V-A ECMO run, to avoid invasive mechanical ventilation. This case suggests the potential usefulness of rescue balloon pulmonary angioplasty under awake V-A ECMO support for rapidly deteriorating, inoperable CTEPH in a patient with class III obesity complicated with multiple comorbidities.

Abstract
The optimal ventilation strategy for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains uncertain. This survey reports current mechanical ventilation strategies adopted by ECMO centers worldwide. An international, multicenter, cross-sectional survey was conducted anonymously through an internet-based tool. Participants from North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania were recruited from the extracorporeal life support organization (ELSO) directory. Responses were received from 48 adult ECMO centers (response rate 10.6%). Half of these had dedicated ventilation protocols for ECMO support. Pressure-controlled ventilation was the preferred initial ventilation mode for both venovenous ECMO (VV-ECMO) (60%) and venoarterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) (34%). In VV-ECMO, the primary goal was lung rest (93%), with rescue therapies commonly employed, especially neuromuscular blockade (93%) and prone positioning (74%). Spontaneous ventilation was typically introduced after signs of pulmonary recovery, with few centers using it as the initial mode (7%). A quarter of centers stopped sedation within 3 days after ECMO initiation. Ventilation strategies during VA-ECMO focused less on lung-protective goals and transitioned to spontaneous ventilation earlier. Ventilation strategies during ECMO support differ considerably. Controlled ventilation is predominantly used initially to provide lung rest, often facilitated by sedation and neuromuscular blockade. Few centers apply "awake ECMO" early during ECMO support, some utilizing partial neuromuscular blockade.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After cardiac surgery, patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have a higher risk of nosocomial infection in the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to establish an intuitive nomogram to predict the probability of nosocomial infection in patients on VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery. METHODS We included patients on VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery between January 2011 and December 2020 at a single center. We developed a nomogram based on independent predictors identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. We selected the optimal model and assessed its performance through internal validation and decision-curve analyses. RESULTS Overall, 503 patients were included; 363 and 140 patients were randomly divided into development and validation sets, respectively. Independent predictors derived from the development set to predict nosocomial infection included older age, white blood cell (WBC) count abnormality, ECMO environment in the ICU, and mechanical ventilation (MV) duration, which were entered into the model to create the nomogram. The model showed good discrimination, with areas under the curve (95% confidence interval) of 0.743 (0.692-0.794) in the development set and 0.732 (0.643-0.820) in the validation set. The optimal cutoff probability of the model was 0.457 in the development set (sensitivity, 0.683; specificity, 0.719). The model showed qualified calibration in both the development and validation sets (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p > .05). The threshold probabilities ranged from 0.20 to 0.70. CONCLUSIONS For adult patients receiving VA-ECMO treatment after cardiac surgery, a nomogram-monitoring tool could be used in clinical practice to identify patients with high-risk nosocomial infections and provide an early warning.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of VA-ECMO on early renal recovery (within 7 days after ECMO onset) in patients with pre-ECMO acute kidney injury and cardiogenic shock is unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective single-center study included adult patients with cardiogenic shock rescued by VA-ECMO and severe AKI occurring before ECMO implantation (pre-ECMO AKI). Patients with early renal recovery (defined as at least a 50% decrease in peak serum creatinine or weaning from renal replacement therapy) were compared to patients without early renal recovery. RESULTS During 7 years, 145 patients with severe pre-ECMO AKI were included. Eighty-two patients had no early renal recovery whereas 63 had early renal recovery within 7 days after VA-ECMO onset. The median time to early renal recovery was 4 (3,6) days. Nephrotoxic antibiotics (HR = 0.35 [95% CI, 0.21-0.59], p < 0.001), median fluid balance during the first 7 days of VA-ECMO (HR = 0.77 [95% CI, 0.64-0.93], p = 0.008), pre-ECMO AKI stage 3 (HR = 0.36 [95% CI, 0.20-0.64], p < 0.001) and median vasoactive-inotropic score (HR = 0.99 [95% CI, 0.98,1.00], p = 0.035) were independently associated with no early renal recovery. CONCLUSIONS Only 43% of patients with severe pre-ECMO AKI had early renal recovery after VA-ECMO initiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced treatment for acute severe respiratory failure. Patients on ECMO are frequently maintained sedated and immobilized until weaning from ECMO, first, and then from mechanical ventilation. Avoidance of sedation and invasive ventilation during ECMO may have potential advantages. We performed a systematic literature review to assess efficacy and safety of awake ECMO without invasive ventilation in patients with respiratory failure. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for studies reporting outcome of awake ECMO for adult patients with respiratory failure. STUDY SELECTION We included all studies reporting outcome of awake ECMO in patients with respiratory failure. Studies on ECMO for cardiovascular failure, cardiac arrest, or perioperative support and studies on pediatric patients were excluded. Two investigators independently screened and selected studies for inclusion. DATA EXTRACTION Two investigators abstracted data on study characteristics, rate of awake ECMO failure, and mortality. Primary outcome was rate of awake ECMO failure (need for intubation). Pooled estimates with corresponding 95% CIs were calculated. Subgroup analyses by setting were performed. DATA SYNTHESIS A total of 57 studies (28 case reports) included data from 467 awake ECMO patients. The subgroup of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome showed a pooled estimate for awake ECMO failure of 39.3% (95% CI, 24.0-54.7%), while in patients bridged to lung transplantation, pooled estimate was 23.4% (95% CI, 13.3-33.5%). Longest follow-up mortality was 121 of 439 (pooled estimate, 28%; 95% CI, 22.3-33.6%). Mortality in patients who failed awake ECMO strategy was 43 of 74 (pooled estimate, 57.2%; 95% CI, 40.2-74.3%). Two cases of cannula self-removal were reported. CONCLUSIONS Awake ECMO is feasible in selected patients, although the effect on outcome remains to be demonstrated. Mortality is almost 60% in patients who failed awake ECMO strategy.

Comparison of Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Configurations for Patients Listed for Heart Transplantation. Korean Circ J 2023; 53:535-547. [PMID: 37271752 PMCID: PMC10435828 DOI: 10.4070/kcj.2022.0348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a bridge to eventual heart transplantation (HT) is increasingly used worldwide. However, the effect of different VA-ECMO types on HT outcomes remains unclear. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study of 111 patients receiving VA-ECMO and awaiting HT. We assessed 3 ECMO configuration groups: peripheral (n=76), central (n=12), and peripheral to central ECMO conversion (n=23). Cox proportional hazards regression and landmark analysis were conducted to analyze the effect of the ECMO configuration on HT and in-hospital mortality rates. We also evaluated adverse events during ECMO support. RESULTS HT was performed in the peripheral (n=48, 63.2%), central (n=10, 83.3%), and conversion (n=11, 47.8%) ECMO groups (p=0.133) with a median interval of 10.5, 16, and 30 days, respectively (p<0.001). The cumulative incidence of HT was significantly lower in the conversion group (hazard ratio, 0.292, 95% confidence interval, 0.145-0.586, p=0.001). However, there was no difference in in-hospital mortality (log-rank p=0.433). In the landmark analysis, in-hospital mortality did not differ significantly among the 3 groups. Although we did note a trend toward lower HT in the conversion group, the difference was not statistically significant. Surgical site bleeding occurred mainly in the central, while limb ischemia occurred mainly in the peripheral groups. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that if patients are being stably supported with their initial ECMO configuration, whether it is central or peripheral, it should be maintained, and ECMO conversion should only be cautiously performed when necessary.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly utilized intervention for cardiopulmonary failure. Analgosedation during ECMO support is essential to ensure adequate pain and agitation control and ventilator synchrony, optimize ECMO support, facilitate patient assessment, and minimize adverse events. Although the principles of analgosedation are likely similar for all critically ill patients, ECMO circuitry alters medication pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. The lack of clinical guidelines for analgosedation during ECMO, especially at times of medication shortage, can affect patient management. Here, we review pharmacological considerations, protocols, and special considerations for analgosedation in critically ill adults receiving ECMO support.

Abstract
AIMS Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is currently one of the most used devices in refractory cardiogenic shock. However, there is a lack of evidence on how to set the 'optimal' flow. We aimed to describe the evolution of VA-ECMO flows in a cardiogenic shock population and determine the risk factors of 'high-ECMO flow'. METHODS AND RESULTS A 7 year database of patients supported with VA-ECMO was used. Based on the median flow during the first 48 h of the VA-ECMO run, patients were classified as 'high-flow' or 'low-flow', respectively, when median ECMO flow was ≥3.6 or <3.6 L/min. Outcomes included rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia, ECMO-related complications, days on ECMO, days on mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit and hospitalization lengths of stay, and in-hospital and 60 day mortality. Risk factors of high-ECMO flow were assessed using univariate and multivariate cox regression. The study population included 209 patients on VA-ECMO, median age was 51 (40-59) years, and 78% were males. The most frequent aetiology leading to cardiogenic shock was end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (57%), followed by acute myocardial infarction (23%) and fulminant myocarditis (17%). Among the 209 patients, 105 (50%) were classified as 'high-flow'. This group had a higher rate of ischaemic aetiology (16% vs. 30%, P = 0.023) and was sicker at admission, in terms of worse Simplified Acute Physiology Score II score [40 (26-58) vs. 56 (42-74), P < 0.001], higher lactate [3.6 (2.2-5.8) mmol/L vs. 5.2 (3-9.7) mmol/L, P < 0.001], and higher aspartate aminotransferase [97 (41-375) U/L vs. 309 (85-939) U/L, P < 0.001], among others. The 'low-flow' group had less ventilator-associated pneumonia (40% vs. 59%, P = 0.007) and less days on mechanical ventilation [4 (1.5-7.5) vs. 6 (3-12) days, P = 0.009]. No differences were found in lengths of stay or survival according to the ECMO flow. The multivariate analysis showed that risk factors independently associated with 'high-flow' were mechanical ventilation at cannulation [odds ratio (OR) 3.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.1-7.1] and pre-ECMO lactate (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.2). CONCLUSIONS In patients with refractory cardiogenic shock supported with VA-ECMO, sicker patients had higher support since early phases, presenting thereafter higher rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia but similar survival compared with patients with lower flows.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) with femoral access has gained wide acceptance in the treatment of critically ill patients. Since the patient´s cardiac output (CO) can compete with the retrograde aortic ECMO-flow, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of the inspiratory oxygen fraction on the cardiac function during V-A ECMO therapy.
Methods
Eighteen male Lewis rats (350–400 g) received V-A ECMO therapy. The inspiratory oxygen fraction on the ventilator was randomly set to 0.5 (group A), 0.21 (group B), or 0 in order to simulate apnea (group C), respectively. Each group consisted of six animals. Arterial blood pressure, central venous saturation (ScvO2), CO, stroke volume, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end diastolic volume, and pressure were measured. Cardiac injury was determined by analyzing the amount of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
Results
During anoxic ventilation the systolic, mean and diastolic arterial pressure, CO, stroke volume, LVEF and ScvO2 were significantly impaired compared to group A and B. The course of LDH values revealed no significant differences between the groups.
Conclusion
Anoxic ventilation during V-A ECMO with femoral cannulation leads to cardiogenic shock in rats. Therefore, awake V-A ECMO patients might be at risk for hypoxia-induced complications.

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the efficacy of an awake venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) management strategy in preventing clinically relevant barotrauma in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) at high risk for pneumothorax (PNX)/pneumomediastinum (PMD), defined as the detection of the Macklin-like effect on chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Design: A case series. Setting: At the intensive care unit of a tertiary-care institution. Participants: Seven patients with COVID-19-associated severe ARDS and Macklin-like radiologic sign on baseline chest CT. Interventions: Primary VV-ECMO under spontaneous breathing instead of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). All patients received noninvasive ventilation or oxygen through a high-flow nasal cannula before and during ECMO support. The study authors collected data on cannulation strategy, clinical management, and outcome. Failure of awake VV-ECMO strategy was defined as the need for IMV due to worsening respiratory failure or delirium/agitation. The primary outcome was the development of PNX/PMD. Measurements and Main Results: No patient developed PNX/PMD. The awake VV-ECMO strategy failed in 1 patient (14.3%). Severe complications were observed in 4 (57.1%) patients and were noted as the following: intracranial bleeding in 1 patient (14.3%), septic shock in 2 patients (28.6%), and secondary pulmonary infections in 3 patients (42.8%). Two patients died (28.6%), whereas 5 were successfully weaned off VV-ECMO and were discharged home. Conclusions: VV-ECMO in awake and spontaneously breathing patients with severe COVID-19 ARDS may be a feasible and safe strategy to prevent the development of PNX/PMD in patients at high risk for this complication.

Abstract
Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is an uncommon syndrome characterized by sudden and severe hemodynamic compromise secondary to acute myocardial inflammation, often presenting as profound cardiogenic shock, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and/or electrical storm. FM may be refractory to conventional therapies and require mechanical circulatory support (MCS). The immune system has been recognized as playing a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of myocarditis, leading to an increased focus on immunosuppressive treatment strategies. Recent data have highlighted not only the fact that FM has significantly worse outcomes than non-FM, but that prognosis and management strategies of FM are heavily dependent on histological subtype, placing greater emphasis on the role of endomyocardial biopsy in diagnosis. The impact of subtype on severity and prognosis will likewise influence how aggressively the myocarditis is managed, including whether MCS is warranted. Many patients with refractory cardiogenic shock secondary to FM end up requiring MCS, with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation demonstrating favorable survival rates, particularly when initiated prior to the development of multiorgan failure. Among the challenges facing the field are the need to more precisely identify immunopathophysiological pathways in order to develop targeted therapies, and the need to better optimize the timing and management of MCS to minimize complications and maximize outcomes.

Ultrasound Assessment in Cardiogenic Shock Weaning: A Review of the State of the Art. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10215108. [PMID: 34768629 PMCID: PMC8585073 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10215108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with a high in-hospital mortality despite the achieved advances in diagnosis and management. Invasive mechanical ventilation and circulatory support constitute the highest step in cardiogenic shock therapy. Once established, taking the decision of weaning from such support is challenging. Intensive care unit (ICU) bedside echocardiography provides noninvasive, immediate, and low-cost monitoring of hemodynamic parameters such as cardiac output, filling pressure, structural disease, congestion status, and device functioning. Supplemented by an ultrasound of the lung and diaphragm, it is able to provide valuable information about signs suggesting a weaning failure. The aim of this article was to review the state of the art taking into account current evidence and knowledge on ICU bedside ultrasound for the evaluation of weaning from mechanical ventilation and circulatory support in cardiogenic shock.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:713333. [PMID: 34660625 PMCID: PMC8513760 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.713333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a life-saving technique for patients with severe respiratory and cardiac diseases, is being increasingly utilized worldwide, particularly during the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic, and there has been a sharp increase in the implementation of ECMO. However, due to the presence of various complications, the survival rate of patients undergoing ECMO remains low. Among the complications, the neurologic morbidity significantly associated with venoarterial and venovenous ECMO has received increasing attention. Generally, failure to recognize neurologic injury in time is reportedly associated with poor outcomes in patients on ECMO. Currently, multimodal monitoring is increasingly utilized in patients with devastating neurologic injuries and has been advocated as an important approach for early diagnosis. Here, we highlight the prevalence and outcomes, risk factors, current monitoring technologies, prevention, and treatment of neurologic complications in adult patients on ECMO. We believe that an improved understanding of neurologic complications presumably offers promising therapeutic solutions to prevent and treat neurologic morbidity.
