Abstract
With rates of ECMO utilization on the rise, prevention of nosocomial infections is of paramount importance. Candida auris, an emerging highly pathogenic multidrug resistant fungus, is of particular concern as it is associated with persistent colonization of environmental surfaces, inability to be recognized by many diagnostic platforms, inconsistent laboratory susceptibility results, and high mortality rates. We describe a case of C. auris in a VV-ECMO patient successfully managed with a combination of anidulafungin, amphotericin B, and flucytosine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and outcomes in a single-center PICU cohort that received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS This retrospective study analyzed clinical characteristics, laboratory data, and outcomes. Ninety-day mortality and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) were defined as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were enrolled, all of whom received CRRT for indications including acute kidney injury with complicated refractory metabolic acidosis, electrolyte derangement, and existed or impending fluid overload. The 90-day mortality and advanced CKD were 53% and 29%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that only underlying bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (HR 4.58; 95% CI: 2.04-10.27) and a high pSOFA score (HR 1.12; 95% CI: 1.01-1.23) were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Among survivors, ten developed advanced CKD on the 90th day, and this group had a higher serum fibrinogen level (OR 1.01; 95% CI: 1.01-1.03) at the start of CRRT. CONCLUSION In critically ill children with AKI requiring CRRT, post-BMT and high pSOFA scores are independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Additionally, a high serum fibrinogen level at the initiation of CRRT is associated with the development of advanced CKD.

Impact of connecting methods of continuous renal replacement therapy device on patients underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A retrospectively observational study. Aust Crit Care 2023; 36:695-701. [PMID: 36610945 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2022.11.005] [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: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficiency of different extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) connection methods. BACKGROUND The number of patients receiving ECMO is increasing, and the fields of application are getting wider. However, patients receiving ECMO are prone to acute kidney injury and fluid overload requiring CRRT. There are few comparative studies of two different systems of connecting CRRT device and ECMO from safety and efficacy perspective. METHODS This retrospective observational study included patients receiving ECMO in the extracorporeal life support centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June, 2015, to December, 2020. Patients were divided into the parallel system group and integrated system group according to the connecting method between ECMO circuit and CRRT line. The outcomes were discharge survival rate, CRRT therapeutic dose completion rate, CRRT catheterisation time, CRRT initiating time, local bleeding at the CRRT catheter site, mean filter life, ECMO circuit thrombosis, ECMO air leakage, or blood leakage due to CRRT. RESULTS Thirty patients in the parallel system group and 70 patients in the integrated system group were finally included. The discharge survival rate and CRRT therapeutic dose completion rate were not significantly different between the two groups. The parallel system group had significant longer CRRT initiating time (49.0 ± 12.1 min vs. 14.6 ± 2.1 min, P < 0.001) and shorter filter life (11.5 ± 3.2 h vs. 47.3 ± 14.0 h, P < 0.001) than the integrated system group. The occurrence rate of local bleeding was 93.3% in the parallel system group, and there is no bleeding case in the integrated system group. There was no case of ECMO circuit thrombosis from CRRT as well as ECMO air or blood leakage caused by CRRT in either group. ECMO therapy can be adapted by adjusting the position of the CRRT outlet in the integrated system. CONCLUSIONS Connecting CRRT and ECMO as an integrated system might accelerate CRRT initiation, avoid local bleeding, and prolong filter life compared to the parallel system. The chance of developing CRRT-related ECMO circuit leak and thrombosis is manageable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the clinical features, modality, complications, and effecting factors on the survival of children weighing up to 10 kg who received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS This study was a retrospective observational study conducted in five pediatric intensive care units in tertiary hospitals in Turkey between January 2015 and December 2019. RESULTS One hundred and forty-one children who underwent CRRT were enrolled in the study. The median age was 6 (range, 2-12)months, and 74 (52.5%) were male. The median weight of the patients was 6 (range, 4-8.35) kg and 52 (36.9%) weighed less than 5 kg. The most common indication for CRRT was fluid overload in 75 (53.2%) patients, and sepsis together with multiorgan failure in 62 (44%). The overall mortality was 48.2%. DISCUSSION Despite its complexity, CRRT in children weighing less than 10 kg is a beneficial, lifesaving extracorporeal treatment modality.

Abstract
Renal replacement therapies (RRT) are essential to support critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI), providing control of solutes, fluid balance and acid-base status. To maintain the patency of the extracorporeal circuit, minimizing downtime periods and blood losses due to filter clotting, an effective anticoagulation strategy is required.Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) has been introduced in clinical practice for continuous RRT (CRRT) in the early 1990s and has had a progressively wider acceptance in parallel to the development of simplified systems and safe protocols. Main guidelines on AKI support the use of RCA as the first line anticoagulation strategy during CRRT in patients without contraindications to citrate and regardless of the patient's bleeding risk.Experts from the SIAARTI-SIN joint commission have prepared this position statement which discusses the use of RCA in different RRT modalities also in combination with other extracorporeal organ support systems. Furthermore, advise is provided on potential limitations to the use of RCA in high-risk patients with particular attention to the need for a rigorous monitoring in complex clinical settings. Finally, the main findings about the prospective of optimization of RRT solutions aimed at preventing electrolyte derangements during RCA are discussed in detail.

BURNS & TRAUMA 2023; 11:tkac056. [PMID: 36873286 PMCID: PMC9977350 DOI: 10.1093/burnst/tkac056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory and circulatory dysfunction are common complications and the leading causes of death among burn patients, especially in severe burns and inhalation injury. Recently, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly applied in burn patients. However, current clinical evidence is weak and conflicting. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of ECMO in burn patients. METHODS A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science and Embase from inception to 18 March 2022 was performed to identify clinical studies on ECMO in burn patients. The main outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included successful weaning from ECMO and complications associated with ECMO. Meta-analysis, meta-regression and subgroup analyses were conducted to pool the clinical efficacy and identify influencing factors. RESULTS Fifteen retrospective studies with 318 patients were finally included, without any control groups. The commonest indication for ECMO was severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (42.1%). Veno-venous ECMO was the commonest mode (75.29%). Pooled in-hospital mortality was 49% [95% confidence interval (CI) 41-58%] in the total population, 55% in adults and 35% in pediatrics. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis found that mortality significantly increased with inhalation injury but decreased with ECMO duration. For studies with percentage inhalation injury ≥50%, pooled mortality (55%, 95% CI 40-70%) was higher than in studies with percentage inhalation injury <50% (32%, 95% CI 18-46%). For studies with ECMO duration ≥10 days, pooled mortality (31%, 95% CI 20-43%) was lower than in studies with ECMO duration <10 days (61%, 95% CI 46-76%). In minor and major burns, pooled mortality was lower than in severe burns. Pooled percentage of successful weaning from ECMO was 65% (95% CI 46-84%) and inversely correlated with burn area. The overall rate of ECMO-related complications was 67.46%, and infection (30.77%) and bleedings (23.08%) were the two most common complications. About 49.26% of patients required continuous renal replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS ECMO seems to be an appropriate rescue therapy for burn patients despite the relatively high mortality and complication rate. Inhalation injury, burn area and ECMO duration are the main factors influencing clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The issues of fluid balance and fluid overload are currently considered crucial aspects of pediatric critically ill patients' care. RECENT FINDINGS This review describes current understanding of fluid management in critically ill children in terms of fluid balance and fluid overload and its effects on patients' outcomes. The review describes current evidence surrounding definitions, monitoring, and treatment of positive fluid balance. In particular, the review focuses on specific patient conditions, including perioperative cardiac surgery, severe acute respiratory failure, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy, as the ones at highest risk of developing fluid overload and poor clinical outcomes. Gaps in understanding include specific thresholds at which fluid overload occurs in all critically ill children or specific populations and optimal timing of decongestion of positive fluid balance. SUMMARY Current evidence on fluid balance in critically ill children is mainly based on retrospective and observational studies, and intense research should be recommended in this important field. In theory, active decongestion of patients with fluid overload could improve mortality and other clinical outcomes, but randomized trials or advanced pragmatic studies are needed to better understand the optimal timing, patient characteristics, and tools to achieve this.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides pulmonary and/or cardiac support for critically ill patients. Due to their diseases, they are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury. In that case, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is applied to provide renal support and fluid management. The ECMO and CRRT circuits can be combined by an integrated or parallel approach. So far, all methods used for combined extracorporeal lung and kidney support present serious drawbacks. This includes not only high risks of circuit related complications such as bleeding, thrombus formation, and hemolysis, but also increase in technical workload and health care costs. In this sense, the development of a novel optimized artificial lung device with integrated renal support could offer important treatment benefits. Therefore, we conducted a review to provide technical background on existing techniques for extracorporeal lung and kidney support and give insight on important aspects to be addressed in the development of this novel highly integrated artificial lung device.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical value of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) combined with different targeted temperature management (TTM) for the treatment of cardiac arrest. METHODS From January 2018 to September 2020, ECPR was initiated in patients with cardiac arrest who did not have their spontaneous circulation restored after 20 minutes of traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A total of 22 patients (observation group) given TTM were treated with Hico-variotherm 550 (HU 550) and 30 patients (control group) not given TTM were treated with a medical water circulation cooling blanket. The Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) score, serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), survival rate and neurological prognosis after ECMO weaning were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups in GCS score on the third and seventh days after resuscitation and serum NSE on the first and third day after treatment (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the survival rate (40.91% vs 33.33%) and favorable neurological outcome (36.36% vs 26.67%) of patients in the observation group were slightly higher, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The incidence of shivering and body temperature fluctuation during rewarming in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION HU550 poikilothermia water cabinet combined with ECMO can better control the targeted temperature of patients in a more accurate range and improve the survival rate; however, it exerts no statistical improvement in the incidence of complications.
