⏱️ Timing of Initiation of VA #ECMO in cardiogenic shock, earlier is better?? ELSO Registry analysis (2009-2019, >8.6K patients) showing association between initiation delays & higher mortality: ⏱️ median time from admission to #ECLS initiation 14h 📈 higher risk of death if initiation >24h after admission; each 12h increase incrementally associated with higher adjusted mortality 🫀association between longer time to ECMO/worse outcomes stronger if lower shock severity 📈 patients who had ECMO initiated within 24h: younger, more preceding cardiac arrest, worse acidosis 🚪Optimize of door-to-support time & avoid inappropriate delays (ie, for purely logistical reasons): ECMO centers should develop strategies to ensure that rescue ECMO can be deployed even during off-hours Open access #FOAMcc #FOAMecmo 🔓 https://bit.ly/4br0CYv ⏱️ With editorial: ECMO in CS: execution is something; timing is everything? 🔓 https://bit.ly/42uV7Uu

Results from the 25-center study involving over 25,000 patients comparing the incidence of atrioesophageal fistulas (AEFs) - a highly serious and often fatal complication associated with RF cardiac ablations - before and after the implementation of proactive esophageal cooling™. What did the expert commentary by Douglas Kyrouac, MD, and James Daniels, MD, on PracticeUpdate say about it? "Based on this study, there appears to be a potentially significant beneficial effect to using esophageal cooling to avoid serious adverse complications with a minimal downside—an estimated 30-fold decreased risk of AEF compared with the current standard of care... Our center began using esophageal cooling more than 3 years ago, and we have reported additional patient and procedural advantages."

🫁 🫀Tailoring mechanical ventilation settings according to cardio-respiratory physiology in VA #ECMO support to optimize hemodynamics & patient outcomes??. Here use of in vivo RV PV loops to guide PEEP titration. Open access #FOAMcc #FOAMecmo on ASAIO Journal 🔓 https://bit.ly/3UVuPat
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema and atelectasis may exacerbate RV dysfunction in patients on VA #ECMO through increased lung elastance and RV afterload. Invasive MV settings, particularly PEEP, can help to improve RV performance optimizing lung recruitment + minimizing alveolar overdistension. Here report of in vivo RV pressure-volume loops measured during decremental PEEP trial, leading to identification of optimum level from a cardio-respiratory viewpoint.

🚨 **Advancements in Ischemic Stroke Management** 🚨 The management of ischemic stroke has significantly evolved, thanks in part to the findings of the ECASS trials. These trials extended the therapeutic window for administering tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to up to 4.5 hours after symptom onset, confirming the earlier results of the NINDS study. As a result, the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA) now recommend tPA for eligible patients presenting within this 4.5-hour window, offering hope and improved outcomes for many. Understanding these advancements is crucial for Emergency healthcare professionals dedicated to stroke care. #StrokeManagement #ECASSTrial #IschemicStroke #tPA #AHA #ASA #HealthcareInnovation
