Why should ECMO Specialists know about cannula selection if they don’t place the cannula? The start of effective ECMO care is cannula selection and as an ECMO Specialist it is imperative to understand all the pieces of the patient care puzzle. 🧩 Your understanding of different size/type of cannulae and their flow can help you deliver the best care to patients supported on ECMO. #ecmo #ecmospecialist #icunurse #criticalcare #respiratorytherapist #perfusionist #ecpr #simulation.
📸 Have you seen this before? Today's post is an educational one, highlighting an occurrence during VA ECMO: a significant clot formation in the oxygenator. The photo reveals the pre-side of the oxygenator, where the blood from the patient enters to receive oxygenation. This clot developed in less than thirty minutes after initiating ECMO, despite the patient being properly heparinized with an ACT measurement exceeding 250 seconds. 🩸 This unusual clot appearance was unlike anything I had encountered before. It resembled a white clot that gave the impression that the oxygenator was deprimed. 🤔 The patient in question was suspected to be suffering from DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation), a complex disorder of blood clotting which can have various causes and consequences. Have any of you encountered a clot like this before? If so, I am genuinely interested to learn your thoughts on what might have caused it. Thank you for your help and support! 🫀🫁😊 #Perfusionist #Perfusion #cardiopulmonarybypass #heartlungmachine #heartsurgery #ecmo #PreMed #PreHealth #AlliedHealth #healthcareheroes #healthcare #perfusionschool #rvad #healthcarecareers #extracorporeal #emt #helicopter #patienttransport #impella #patientcare #criticalcare #heartsurgery
Thanks Antonio Piperata for this collaboration to go further in our understanding of the impact of the use of different types of #MCS such as #Impella in #CardiogenicShock. Mechanical circulatory support in patients with cardiogenic shock, EVACS retrospective multicenter study investigating outcomes of concomitant VA #ECLS + left ventricular unloading with #Impella vs #ECLS alone: 🔍 438 patients included, 2011-2021, from 4 University hospitals (🇫🇷 🇯🇵🇹🇷) 🔍 ECMO alone 72.8%, ECPELLA 27.2%: similar early and mid-term (1-year) survival and incidences of complications ECMO & ECPELLA seems effective strategies in patients requiring temporary #MCS for cardiogenic shock. Exploratory subanalyses suggest that simultaneous implantation of ECMO & Impella might shorten the recovery time, with reduced ICU & hospital LoS.

Kudos to Our Team:- Anirban Bhattacharyya Sanjay Chaudhary Devang Sanghavi, MD, MHA, FCCP Nathan Waldron Kyle Bohman Si Pham Pablo Moreno Franco, MD & Others 💐💐 ➡️ The exact mechanism for RV dysfunction on VV ECMO remains unknown. And perplexing. ➡️ Is it Vent? Is it ECMO itself? Is it Primary Pathology? Is it another intervention? ➡️The big quest is why Few folks RV goes🔽 More to 👀 #ECMO #ECLS #POCUS #VVECMO #RVFailure #ASAIO #ELSO #MayoClinicFL #MayoClinic
Assessing right ventricle with #echocardiography in patients on VV #ECMO, study evaluating time-dependent impacts of #ECLS on RV size & function: 🔍 70 patients included 🖥️ 60.6% had normal RV function at ECMO initiation 🖥️ 42% had normal RV function at second post-ECMO #POCUS 🫀 increasing degree of RV dysfunction associated with worse outcomes 🫀 increasing run duration & extracorporeal blood flow correlate with progressive RV dilatation/dysfunction, associated with poor survival Incorporation of serial hemodynamic assessments into standard clinical practice might enable early detection/monitoring of critical changes.

We are gratified by the enthusiasm around lymph-based diagnostics at MHNCS, where three prominent leaders in the field - Daniel Ma, MD, Eleni Rettig, MD, and Glenn Hanna, MD —discussed the promise of surgical drain fluid as a novel biofluid to inform patient care. We are excited to expand on this momentum and share more data at AACR. #HNCS24
