Subjects
*EXTRACORPOREAL membrane oxygenation, *COVID-19, *PERINATAL period, *PULMONARY hypertension, *CRITICAL care medicine, *AMNIOTIC fluid embolism, *ARACHNOID cysts
Abstract

Background: The leading causes of maternal mortality include respiratory failure, cardiovascular events, infections, and hemorrhages. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as rescue therapy in the peripartum period for cardiopulmonary failure is expanding in critical care medicine. Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted on a nationwide cohort in Israel. During the 3‐year period, between September 1, 2019, and August 31, 2022, all women in the peripartum period who had been supported by ECMO for respiratory or circulatory failure at 10 large Israeli hospitals were identified. Indications for ECMO, maternal and neonatal outcomes, details of ECMO support, and complications were collected. Results: During the 3‐year study period, in Israel, there were 540 234 live births, and 28 obstetric patients were supported by ECMO, with an incidence of 5.2 cases per 100 000 or 1 case per 19 000 births (when excluding patients with COVID‐19, the incidence will be 2.5 cases per 100 000 births). Of these, 25 were during the postpartum period, of which 16 (64%) were connected in the PPD1, and 3 were during pregnancy. Eighteen patients (64.3%) were supported by V‐V ECMO, 9 (32.1%) by V‐A ECMO, and one (3.6%) by a VV‐A configuration. Hypoxic respiratory failure (ARDS) was the most common indication for ECMO, observed in 21 patients (75%). COVID‐19 was the cause of ARDS in 15 (53.7%) patients. The indications for the V‐A configuration were cardiomyopathy (3 patients), amniotic fluid embolism (2 patients), sepsis, and pulmonary hypertension. The maternal and fetal survival rates were 89.3% (n = 25) and 100% (n = 28). The average ECMO duration was 17.6 ± 18.6 days and the ICU stay was 29.8 ± 23.8 days. Major bleeding complications requiring surgical intervention were observed in one patient. Conclusions: The incidence of using ECMO in the peripartum period is low. The maternal and neonatal survival rates in patients treated with ECMO are high. These results show that ECMO remains an important treatment option for obstetric patients with respiratory and/or cardiopulmonary failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: Rare coexistence of disease or pathology Background: Many patients experiencing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) present in cardiac arrest. Mechanical chest compressions are a common tool in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and have their benefits as well as disadvantages and reported complications. In recent years, veno-arterial extracorporeal oxygenation membrane (VAECMO) has proven to be a promising tool in these circumstances and is now considered part of the treatment algorithm in emergent and refractory cases. The combination of mechanical compressions and the ECMO lead to "new" complicated situations in the patients. We discuss such a patient, who required emergent surgery due to complications from his resuscitation, while under ECMO. Case Report: A 56-year-old man, with medical history of cardiovascular risk factors, presented to our facility due to ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. During his catheterization, he went into cardiac arrest and needed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using a LUCAS3™ device. Because no rhythm was restored, he was promptly placed on VA-ECMO support with immediate, albeit transient, stabilization. After transportation to our Intensive Care Unit (ICU), he quickly deteriorated again hemodynamically and after imaging workup it was discovered he had a major laceration to his liver and was rushed emergently to the operating room where he underwent partial hepatectomy, while on full anticoagulation due to the ECMO support. Conclusions: Complications from mechanical CPR are common, including liver laceration. Patients who are placed on ECMO following such measures should be carefully evaluated for such complications as they might affect the treatment and prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects
*ATRIAL fibrillation, *ATRIAL flutter, *LEFT heart atrium, *LOSS of consciousness, *FISTULA, *STROKE
Abstract

Objective: Rare disease Background: Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia worldwide. The number of patients undergoing ablation as treatment is increasing, as is the incidence of complications from ablation. One such complication is atrio-esophageal fistula, which is rare but life threatening. We discuss 2 cases of patients that presented with a fistula several weeks following atrial fibrillation ablation. Case Reports: A 67-year-old man and 64-year-old woman both had cardiovascular morbidity and chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. Both patients presented approximately 6 weeks after radiofrequency atrial fibrillation ablation and were admitted with varying symptoms, including fever and neurological deficits mimicking a cerebrovascular accident or massive bleeding. Both patients deteriorated very rapidly in the department, especially after certain interventions, such as endoscopy, and exhibited deteriorating neurological signs, including loss of consciousness and basic brain stem reflexes, and head computed tomography (CT) showed widespread infarcts and hemorrhages. Owing to their history, a chest CT was performed at the same time, revealing an atrio-esophageal fistula, which was determined to be the cause of their illness and led to their eventual deaths. Conclusions: A rare complication of atrial fibrillation ablation procedure is atrio-esophageal fistula, which if left untreated, is almost uniformly fatal, and even survivors are usually left with significant sequelae. It is important to recognize the rapid deterioration and possible signs and symptoms, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, fever, or even neurological abnormalities, and make the connection to the ablation procedure in terms of timeline for rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Abstract

Background: In March 2020, COVID-19 was announced as a global pandemic. The first COVID-19 patient was connected to an ECMO device in Israel during that time. Since then, over 200 patients have required ECMO support due to COVID-19 infection. The present study is a multi-institutional analysis of all COVID-19 patients requiring veno-venous (VV) ECMO in Israel. The aim was to characterize and compare the survivors and deceased patients as well as establish risk factors for mortality. Methods: This retrospective multi-institutional study was conducted from March 2020 to March 2021 in eleven of twelve ECMO centers operating in Israel. All COVID-19 patients on VV ECMO support were included in the cohort. The patients were analyzed based on their comorbidities, procedural data, adverse event on ECMO, and outcomes. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the deceased and the surviving patients. Results: The study included 197 patients, of which 150 (76%) were males, and the mean age was 50.7 ± 12 years. Overall mortality was 106 (54%). Compared with the deceased subjects, survivors were significantly younger (48 ± 11 vs. 53 ± 12 years), suffered less from ischemic heart disease (IHD) (3% vs. 12%), and were ventilated for a significantly shorter period (≤4 days) prior to cannulation (77% vs. 63%). Patients in the deceased group experienced more kidney failure and sepsis. Rates of other complications were comparable between groups. Conclusions: Based on this study, we conclude that early cannulation (≤4 days) of younger patients (≤55 years) may improve overall survival and that a history of IHD might indicate a reduced prognosis.

Abstract

Background: Little is known about sex-related differences in factors affecting prognosis of heart failure (HF). We prospectively investigated the relationship between bedside clinical variables and survival of older females vs. males with HF. Methods: Included were consecutive unselected inpatients, age ≥60 years, admitted for various acute conditions. HF was chronic and of diverse etiologies. Follow-up extended up to 5 years. All-cause mortality was registered and statistically analyzed for association with in-hospital clinical variables. Results: Included were 162 females and 200 males. Survival rates were 52.4% and 59%, respectively, (P=0.1). Advanced age and renal dysfunction (RD) were associated with low survival in both sexes (P<0.03 and 0.02, P<0.001 and 0.01, respectively). An association with low survival was found with respect to; admission for pulmonary edema (P<0.02), using furosemide ≥80 mg/day (P<0.005) and severe HF [NYHA class III–IV (P<0.01)] in females, as well as for hypokalemia (P<0.03) and hypocalcemia (P<0.03) in males. On multivariate analysis RD (P<0.001), increasing age (P=0.008) and furosemide dosage ≥80 mg (P=0.02) were most significantly associated with low survival in females, while RD only was significantly associated with low survival in males (P=0.03). Conclusions: Several clinical variables, which affect prognosis in older HF patients are sex-related and probably carry practical significance. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
