Abstract
The treatment of choice in severe asthma exacerbations with respiratory failure includes ventilatory support, both invasive and/or non-invasive, along with different kinds of asthma medication. Of note, the rate of mortality of patients with asthma has decreased substantially in recent years mainly due to significant advances in pharmacological treatment and other management strategies. However, the risk of death in patients with severe asthma who require invasive mechanical ventilation has been estimated between 6.5% and 10.3%. When conventional measures fail, rescue strategies, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) may need to be implemented. While ECMO does not constitute a definitive treatment per se, it can minimize further ventilator associated lung injury (VALI) and can enable diagnostic-therapeutic maneuvers that cannot be performed without ECMO such as bronchoscopy and transfer for diagnostic imaging. Asthma is one of the diseases that is associated with excellent outcomes for patients with refractory respiratory failure requiring ECMO support, as shown by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry. Moreover, in such situations, the use of ECCO2R for rescue has been described and utilized in both children and adults and is more widely spread in different hospitals than ECMO. In this article, we aim to review the evidence for the usefulness of extracorporeal respiratory support measures in the management of severe asthma exacerbations that lead to respiratory failure.

Abstract
Cardiothoracic surgical critical care medicine (CT-CCM) is a medical discipline centered on the perioperative care of diverse groups of patients. With an aging demographic and an increase in burden of chronic diseases the utilization of cardiothoracic surgical critical care units is likely to escalate in the coming decades. Given these projections, it is important to assess the state of cardiothoracic surgical intensive care, to develop goals and objectives for the future, and to identify knowledge gaps in need of scientific inquiry. This two-part review concentrates on CT-CCM as its own subspeciality of critical care and cardiothoracic surgery and provides aspirational goals for its practitioners and scientists. In part one, a list of guiding principles and a call-to-action agenda geared towards growth and promotion of CT-CCM are offered. In part two, an evaluation of selected scientific data is performed, identifying gaps in CT-CCM knowledge, and recommending direction to future scientific endeavors.

Abstract
Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children receiving haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and immune effector cell therapy is controversial and evidence-based guidelines have not been established. Remarkable advancements in HCT and immune effector cell therapies have changed expectations around reversibility of organ dysfunction and survival for affected patients. Herein, members of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO), Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Network (HCT and cancer immunotherapy subgroup), the Pediatric Diseases Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), the supportive care committee of the Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC), and the Pediatric Intensive Care Oncology Kids in Europe Research (POKER) group of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) provide consensus recommendations on the use of ECMO in children receiving HCT and immune effector cell therapy. These are the first international, multidisciplinary consensus-based recommendations on the use of ECMO in this patient population. This Review provides a clinical decision support tool for paediatric haematologists, oncologists, and critical care physicians during the difficult decision-making process of ECMO candidacy and management. These recommendations can represent a base for future research studies focused on ECMO selection criteria and bedside management.

Risk Stratification for ECMO Requirement in COVID-19 ICU Patients Using Quantitative Imaging Features in CT Scans on Admission. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11061029. [PMID: 34205176 PMCID: PMC8228774 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11061029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy in intensive care units (ICUs) remains the last treatment option for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with severely affected lungs but is highly resource demanding. Early risk stratification for the need of ECMO therapy upon admission to the hospital using artificial intelligence (AI)-based computed tomography (CT) assessment and clinical scores is beneficial for patient assessment and resource management; (2) Methods: Retrospective single-center study with 95 confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the participating ICUs. Patients requiring ECMO therapy (n = 14) during ICU stay versus patients without ECMO treatment (n = 81) were evaluated for discriminative clinical prediction parameters and AI-based CT imaging features and their diagnostic potential to predict ECMO therapy. Reported patient data include clinical scores, AI-based CT findings and patient outcomes; (3) Results: Patients subsequently allocated to ECMO therapy had significantly higher sequential organ failure (SOFA) scores (p < 0.001) and significantly lower oxygenation indices on admission (p = 0.009) than patients with standard ICU therapy. The median time from hospital admission to ECMO placement was 1.4 days (IQR 0.2-4.0). The percentage of lung involvement on AI-based CT assessment on admission to the hospital was significantly higher in ECMO patients (p < 0.001). In binary logistic regression analyses for ECMO prediction including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), SOFA score on admission, lactate on admission and percentage of lung involvement on admission CTs, only SOFA score (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.08-1.62) and lung involvement (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.11) were significantly associated with subsequent ECMO allocation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.94) for lung involvement on admission CT and 0.82 (95% CI 0.72-0.91) for SOFA scores on ICU admission. A combined parameter of SOFA on ICU admission and lung involvement on admission CT yielded an AUC of 0.91 (0.84-0.97) with a sensitivity of 0.93 and a specificity of 0.84 for ECMO prediction; (4) Conclusions: AI-based assessment of lung involvement on CT scans on admission to the hospital and SOFA scoring, especially if combined, can be used as risk stratification tools for subsequent requirement for ECMO therapy in patients with severe COVID-19 disease to improve resource management in ICU settings.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a support modality for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who have failed conventional treatments including low tidal volume ventilation, prone positioning, and neuromuscular blockade. In addition, ECLS can be used for hemodynamic support for patients with cardiogenic shock or following cardiac arrest. Injured patients may also require ECLS support for ARDS and other indications. We review the use of ECLS for ARDS patients, trauma patients, cardiogenic shock patients, and post-cardiac arrest patients. We then describe how these principles are applied in the management of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Indications, predictors, procedural considerations, and post-cannulation management strategies are discussed.

Heart Lung Circ 2021; 30:631-641.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of acute respiratory failure syndrome characterised by severe respiratory distress and stubborn hypoxaemia. Patients with ARDS have a prolonged hospital stay and high mortality rate. Over long-term follow-up, ARDS is found to be associated with a high incidence of long-term complications and decreased quality of life. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) has been widely used for the treatment of refractory ARDS. However, it is not the standard treatment as recommended by ARDS guidelines. AIM The aim of this study was to compare the effects of ECMO (vv-ECMO) and conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) on the clinical outcomes in patients with ARDS. METHOD We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library, Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, and PubMed databases up to November 2019. We selected appropriate studies according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, and extracted and analysed the data using RevMan 5.0 software to evaluate the effectiveness of ECMO systematically. RESULTS A total of 18 articles and 2,399 patients were included in this meta-analysis: 898 patients in the ECMO group and 1,501 patients in the CMV group. Treatment with ECMO may be associated with reduced 1-year mortality (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27-0.83; p=0.009) and 60-day mortality (95% CI, 0.37-0.86; p=0.008), but increased Intensive Care Unit mortality (95% CI, 1.26-2.36; p=0.0007) of patients with ARDS. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may not be related to 30-day mortality or complications such as nosocomial pneumonia, haemorrhagic stroke, or continuous renal replacement therapy in patients with ARDS. However, some results showed heterogeneity, such as bleeding complications and in-hospital mortality. Subgroup analysis showed that ECMO treatment might increase ICU mortality (p=0.002) and nosocomial pneumonia complications (p=0.03) in patients with H1N1 ARDS. CONCLUSIONS Compared with CMV, ECMO contributed to lower 60-day and 1-year mortality, and increased ICU mortality in patients with ARDS. However, H1N1 ARDS was independently associated with higher ICU mortality and nosocomial pneumonia. The results were not affected by removing retrospective control studies or articles published >20 years ago from the sensitivity analysis. This meta-analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of ECMO and its importance in standard treatment of patients with ARDS.

Abstract
Spontaneous abdominal wall hematomas are relatively rare and mainly attributed to anticoagulation and severe cough. Despite the high incidence of anticoagulation-related bleeding complications, there are no reports of spontaneous abdominal wall hematomas during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report a case of a spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma caused by alternation of the lateral semi-prone position during ECMO in a 76-year-old female patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Unfractionated heparin 12,000-14,000 units/day was administered for anticoagulation during ECMO. From Day 6 of ECMO, the patient who was under deep sedation was alternately placed in the left and right lateral semi-prone positions every 4 h, for approximately 20 h per day. On Day 12 of ECMO, the patient developed hypotension with anemia and a palpable mass in the right lower abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonographic imaging revealed a huge echo-free space centered in the right lower abdomen. Emergency contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning showed extravasation from the superior and inferior epigastric arteries as well as a rectus sheath hematoma. Despite no apparent contrast leakage, an inferior epigastric artery embolization was undertaken because the patient was on ECMO. On Day 13 after ECMO initiation, ECMO and anticoagulation were discontinued. On CT scanning a week later, the hematoma had reduced. In conclusion, spontaneous abdominal wall hematoma is a rare and important complication that might occur during ECMO. Thus, careful physical examination should be routinely conducted when the patient is semi-prone during ECMO.

Traced back to December 2019, an unexpected outbreak of a highly contagious new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) has rapidly swept around China and the globe. There have now been an estimated 2 580 000 infections and more than 170 000 fatal cases around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that approximately 14% of infections developed into severe disease, 5% were critically ill, and the mortality rate of critically ill patients is reported to be over 50%. The shortage of specific anti-viral treatment and vaccines remains a huge challenge. In COVID-19, refractory hypoxemia is common among the critically ill with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) despite invasive mechanical ventilation, and is further complicated by respiratory and circulatory failure. This difficult situation calls for the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for assisting respiration and circulation if necessary. This article reviews the pertinent clinical literature, technical guidance, and expert recommendations on use of ECMO in critically ill cases of COVID-19. Here, we present basic knowledge and opinions about COVID-19 and ECMO, review the evidence on ECMO use in Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and H1N1 influenza, share the technical guidance and recommendations on use of ECMO in COVID-19, summarize the current use of ECMO against COVID-19 in China, and discuss the issues in use of ECMO in COVID-19.

Abstract
A 44-year-old man who had been feeling general fatigue was found in an unconscious state on the same day. He had no remarkable medical history. On arrival at the hospital, his Glasgow Coma Scale was E1V2M3; he had tachycardia and hypertension, was afebrile, and in a severe hypoxic state. His PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) was under 100, even with tracheal intubation with 100% oxygen. Chest X-ray and CT revealed a bilateral ground-glass appearance with consolidation. Cardiac echo initially showed hyper-dynamic wall motion. The main results of a blood analysis suggested an acute inflammatory reaction, rhabdomyolysis, and pancreatitis. The microscopic findings of sputum and a rapid test for bacterial and viral infections were all negative. As he showed deterioration of P/F, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was started. He also showed hypotension and therefore underwent vasopressor and steroid administration. Due to concerns of pneumonia, he received meropenem and azithromycin in addition to the infusion of γ-globulin and glycyrrhizin. The results of a COVID-19 test, culture of sputum, and collagen disease test were all negative. The serum virus neutralization assay as a serological test for Coxsackievirus B4 showed a four-fold increase in titer. The multimodal therapy mentioned above resulted in the improvement of his general condition, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this report, we discuss the benefits of ECMO and immune modulation therapy in the treatment of severe ARDS.

Abstract
Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has a reported incidence of 34–43% in ventilated burn patients and is associated with a mortality of 59% in the severe form. The use and experience with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in burn patients developing ARDS are still limited. We present our results and discuss the significance of ECMO in treating burn patients. Methods A retrospective analysis of burn patients treated with ECMO for ARDS between January 2017 and January 2019 was performed. Demographic, clinical, and outcome data were collected and analyzed. Results Eight burn patients were treated at our institution with ECMO in the designated time period. Of these, all but one patient had inhalation injury, burn percentage of TBSA was 37 ± 23%, ABSI score was 8.4 ± 2, and R-Baux-score was 98 ± 21. Seven patients developed severe ARDS and one patient moderate ARDS according to the Berlin classification with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio upon initiation of ECMO therapy of 62 ± 22 mmHg. ECMO duration was 388 ± 283 h. Three patients died from severe sepsis while five patients survived to hospital discharge. Conclusions ECMO is a viable therapy option in burn patients developing severe ARDS and can contribute to survival rates similar to ECMO therapy in non-burn-associated severe ARDS. Consequently, patients with severe respiratory insufficiency with unsuccessful conventional treatment and suspected worsening should be transferred to burn units with the possibility of ECMO treatment to improve outcome.
