What’s new in adult #ECLS in 2022-23? Concise review presented at #EuroELSO2023 aimed to highlight main investigations in the field 🫁 VV ECMO for severe ARDS & respiratory failure 🫀 VA ECMO for refractory cardiogenic shock 🚑 #ECPR in refractory #OHCA 🖇️ bit.ly/3RAocZM

(1/10) Pericardial tamponade is a clinical diagnosis supported by #echo (2D + quantitative). A 🧵of 10 confirmed tamponade cases (by drainage!) starting with obvious and ending with subtle ones that you could easily miss.. some PEARLS along the way 👇#medtwitter #foamed

Recirculation on VV-ECMO @ELSOOrg @lorenzozaffiri Pay attention to the change in the color blood in the venous drainage cannula

Today’s been a great teaching day in the ICU. Can you spot what is wrong here?

Distinction between pre- & post-capillary pulmonary hypertension is important for guiding therapy. Here are some echo clues to help distinguish between these levels of PH. More info about ePLAR: Int J Cardiol. 2016 Jun 1;212:379-86. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2016.03.035 #echofirst

Ventilation in a supine position better than semi recumbent in #ARDS. Prone is better but not without risk. Alternatively, anterior chest wall weights or binders could be the future… #2023ASMAdelaide

Lung mechanics better in #supine compared to semi recumbent in ARDS, but not as good as prone in #ventilated #icu patients with #ARDS #2023ASMAdelaide

Take home messages from Prof Shailesh Bihari talking about Body Positions and Safe Driving Lung Mechanics at the #2023ASMAdelaide

Fascinating talk by Dr Shailesh Bahari from FMC, lung perfusion is not as gravity dependent as once thought in pts on PP #ventilation in #ICU #2023ASMAdelaide

John Fraser explaining why ecmo should be multi organ support not cardiac support #2023ASMAdelaide

PSA: this is why we ALWAS scan with colour doppler (or CPD, in this case) to look for vessels prior to thoracentesis. Indicator is toward patient's head, so the vessel is running on the superior aspect of the rib --> right where you'd normally poke #POCUS #MedEd

VA #ECMO in septic shock, amazing @EuroELSOwebinar ➡️ efficient rescue is refractory #sepsis-induced CS, drastic reversal of prognosis ➡️ 60% longtime survival ➡️ complete 🫀 recovery ➡️ good QoL ➡️ not useful if refractory vasoplegia ➡️ early implantation? on which parameters?

@gattinon @SenzimeInfo Is there a recording available please?
