Data confirms clinically meaningful survival advantage for #ECMO in refractory shockable #OHCA. Faster cannulation is associated with survival, and prehospital & hybrid delivery models increase access to ECLS. In parallel, individualized selection complements time-targeted delivery.

Accessibility to #ECPR pathway for o#OHCA?? Still limited!
Timely access to #ECMO essential to improve CA outcomes: developing an effective & equitable system requires multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure access is maximised while preserving time-sensitive benefits.

Device failure on #ECMO: insights from MAUDE Database:
📋 device malfunctions demonstrated component-specific patterns, with meaningful subset describing harm ⚠️. Because platform lacks denominator data, findings represent post-market safety signals vs estimates of failure incidence.

High-risk acute pulmonary embolism? VA #ECLS with early percutaneous or surgical embolectomy may provide a survival benefit over #ECMO alone
🫀🫁 Optimal outcomes will likely be achieved through integrated approach combining #MCS with prompt thrombus removal.

High-risk acute PE
🔍 #ECMO + embolectomy, ECMO + thrombolysis or ECMO alone
⏱️ complications & support time similar
🫁 embolectomy associated with most favourable outcome: hospital discharge, 1/3y survival highest after ECMO + embolectomy vs ECMO + thrombolysis; lowest post ECMO alone

Circuit thrombosis & mechanical failure in children in #ECMO
⚠️ circuit failure common: 19% with at least one circuit replacement in 15% of runs
⏱️ median time to failure 129.5h

Antimicrobial use in ECMO is poorly described.

We evaluated AU at our center and found, despite no ECMO specific ppx protocol, antimicrobials were prescribed on 85% of pt days😱

Prolonged #ECMO in children with respiratory failure: any likelihood of native lung recovery?
🫁 Duration alone should not be sole determinant of poor prognosis: other clinical factors + presence of complications more relevant ! Should prolonged ECMO definition of be set at 28 days?

🫁 With editorial on #ECMO duration as predictor of outcome. Only recently we become aware of potential of pulmonary regeneration, If illness is cured and no more damage is done. A chance of recovery after months of #ECLS may be preferable to early lung #transplantation.
