#ECMO for tuberculosis-related #ARDS? 🫁 Feasible! International study reporting 51% survival. Better outcomes for miliary vs cavitary TB. Age, drug-resistant TB, pre-ECMO SOFA score indicators of poor prognosis, to be considered as assessing candidacy 🔓 rdcu.be/dWDdj

Anticoagulation modalities & bleeding events in adults on VV #ECMO, insights from PROTECMO, large international study, illustrating actual daily practice: 💉UFH main anticoagulant used, targeted on aPTT usually between 40-60’' 🩸bleeding events occurred in about 50% of patients, fatal in only about 1% of cases 🧪 higher aPTT major determinant for first bleeding episode Reducing targets may be effective in minimizing risk of hemorrhages?? @ATSBlueEditor 🖇️ bit.ly/3SA4sY8
