Abstract
Background: In lung transplantation surgery, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is essential for safety. Various support methods, including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump techniques, are used, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) gaining prominence. However, consensus on the best support strategy is lacking.Purpose: This article reviews risks, benefits, and outcomes of different support strategies in lung transplantation. By consolidating knowledge, it aims to clarify selecting the most appropriate ECLS modality.Research Design: A comprehensive literature review examined CPB, off-pump techniques, and ECMO outcomes in lung transplantation, including surgical results and complications.Study Sample: Studies, including clinical trials and observational research, focused on ECLS in lung transplantation, both retrospective and prospective, providing a broad evidence base.Data Collection and/or Analysis: Selected studies were analyzed for surgical outcomes, complications, and survival rates associated with CPB, off-pump techniques, and ECMO to assess safety and effectiveness.Results: Off-pump techniques are preferred, with ECMO increasingly vital as a bridge to transplant, overshadowing CPB. However, ECMO entails hidden risks and higher costs. While safer than CPB, optimizing ECMO postoperative use and monitoring is crucial for success.Conclusions: Off-pump techniques are standard, but ECMO's role is expanding. Despite advantages, careful ECMO management is crucial due to hidden risks and costs. Future research should focus on refining ECMO use and monitoring to improve outcomes, emphasizing individualized approaches for LT recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Awake Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) practice combined with physiotherapy is increasing. However, available evidence for this approach is limited, with unclear indications on timing, management, and protocols. This review summarizes available literature regarding Awake ECLS and physiotherapy application rates, practices, and outcomes in adults, providing indications for future investigations. METHODS Four databases were screened from inception to February 2021, for studies reporting adult Awake ECLS with/without physiotherapy. Primary outcome was hospital discharge survival, followed by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) duration, extubation, Intensive Care Unit stay. RESULTS Twenty-nine observational studies and one randomized study were selected, including 1,157 patients (males n = 611/691, 88.4%) undergoing Awake ECLS. Support type was reported in 1,089 patients: Veno-Arterial ECMO (V-A = 39.6%), Veno-Venous ECMO (V-V = 56.8%), other ECLS (3.6%). Exclusive upper body cannulation and femoral cannulation were applied in 31% versus 69% reported cases (n = 931). Extubation was successful in 63.5% (n = 522/822) patients during ECLS. Physiotherapy details were given for 676 patients: exercises confined in bed for 47.9% (n = 324) patients, mobilization until standing in 9.3% (n = 63) cases, ambulation performed in 42.7% (n = 289) patients. Femoral cannulation, extubation and V-A ECMO were mostly correlated to complications. Hospital discharge survival observed in 70.8% (n = 789/1114). CONCLUSION Awake ECLS strategy associated with physiotherapy is performed regardless of cannulation approach. Ambulation, as main objective, is achieved in almost half the population examined. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate safety and efficacy of physiotherapy during Awake ECLS, and suitable patient selection. Guidelines are required to identify appropriate assessment/evaluation tools for Awake ECLS patients monitoring.

Rehabilitation of adult patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A scoping review. Aust Crit Care 2021; 35:575-582. [PMID: 34711492 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2021.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review to comprehensively map the breadth of literature related to the rehabilitation of adult patients whilst on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and identify gaps and areas for future research. REVIEW METHOD USED This review was conducted using recommended frameworks for methods and reporting including the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. DATE SOURCES We searched seven databases from inception to June 2021 and included all study designs and grey literature. REVIEW METHODS Eligibility screening was completed by two independent reviewers according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, with any disagreement resolved by consensus or with consultation with a third reviewer. Two independent reviewers extracted data related to intervention characteristics, patient outcomes, feasibility, safety, hospital outcomes, and mortality using a custom-designed piloted form. RESULTS Of 8507 records, 185 original studies met inclusion criteria, with the majority being small retrospective studies. Rehabilitation was more commonly reported in patients on veno-venous rather than veno-arterial ECMO. Ambulation was the most commonly reported intervention (51% of studies). Critical gaps were identified including incomplete reporting of the intervention along with heterogeneity in the type and timing of outcome measures. Less than 50% of patients met eligibility criteria to participate, but screening for eligibility was infrequently reported (9% of studies). Delivery of rehabilitation during ECMO may be facilitated by an expert multidisciplinary team, along with a strategy that targets low sedation levels and an upper body cannulation approach. CONCLUSIONS Rehabilitation during ECMO is an emerging area of research and mostly consisted of small retrospective single-centre studies. Future research requires more robust methodological designs that include comprehensive screening of potential candidates with reporting of eligibility, more detailed descriptions of the rehabilitation interventions, inclusion of a core outcome set with defined measurement instruments, and consistent timing of outcome measurement.

Abstract
Lung transplantation is an accepted therapeutic option for end-stage lung diseases. The imbalance between limited availability and vast need of donor organs necessitates careful selection of recipient candidates, ensuring the best possible utilization of the scarce resource of organs. Nonetheless, possible lung transplant candidates who could experience a meaningful improvement in survival and quality of life should not be excluded solely based on the complexity of their case. In this review, controversial issues or difficult limitations for lung transplantation, and new developments in recipient selection criteria, are discussed, which may help broaden recipient eligibility for lung transplantation without compromising long-term outcomes.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has had a positive impact on the outcomes after lung transplantation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has a role in all phases of lung transplantation-preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. It serves as a bridge to transplantation in appropriate patients awaiting lung transplantation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used as a preferred method of cardiopulmonary support in some centres during implantation; and, after lung transplantation, it can be used to salvage the implanted lung in cases of severe primary graft dysfunction or as a planned extension of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation onto the postoperative period. It has now gained acceptance as a mandatory tool in most lung transplant units. This article reviews the history of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and lung transplantation, their subsequent development, and the current use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during lung transplantation. Our institutional practice and experience are described. The implications of the current global coronavirus disease pandemic on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and lung transplantation are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Lung transplantation may be a final destination therapy in lung failure, but limited donor organ availability creates a need for alternative management, including artificial lung technology. This invited review discusses ongoing developments and future research pathways for respiratory assist devices and tissue engineering to treat advanced and refractory lung disease. An overview is also given on the aftermath of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and lessons learned as the world comes out of this situation. The first order of business in the future of lung support is solving the problems with existing mechanical devices. Interestingly, challenges identified during the early days of development persist today. These challenges include device-related infection, bleeding, thrombosis, cost, and patient quality of life. The main approaches of the future directions are to repair, restore, replace, or regenerate the lungs. Engineering improvements to hollow fiber membrane gas exchangers are enabling longer term wearable systems and can be used to bridge lung failure patients to transplantation. Progress in the development of microchannel-based devices has provided the concept of biomimetic devices that may even enable intracorporeal implantation. Tissue engineering and cell-based technologies have provided the concept of bioartificial lungs with properties similar to the native organ. Recent progress in artificial lung technologies includes continued advances in both engineering and biology. The final goal is to achieve a truly implantable and durable artificial lung that is applicable to destination therapy.
