Abstract: Abstract While the COVID-19 outbreak and its complications are still under investigation, post-inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis (PF) has already been described as a long-term sequela of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to SARS-CoV2 infection. However, therapeutical strategies for patients with ARDS and PF are still limited and do not significantly extend lifespan. So far, lung transplantation remains the only definitive treatment for end-stage PF. Over the last years, numerous preclinical and clinical studies have shown that allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) might represent a promising therapeutical approach in several lung disorders, and their potential for ARDS treatment and PF prevention has been investigated during the COVID-19 pandemic. From April 2020 to April 2022, we treated six adult patients with moderate COVID-19-related ARDS in a late proliferative stage with up to two same-dose infusions of third-party allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs), administered intravenously 15 days apart. No major adverse events were registered. Four patients completed the treatment and reached ICU discharge, while two received only one dose of MSCs due to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and subsequent death. All four survivors showed improved gas exchanges (PaO2/FiO2 ratio > 200), contrary to the others. Furthermore, LDH trends after MSCs significantly differed between survivors and the deceased. Although further investigations and shared protocols are still needed, the safety of MSC therapy has been recurrently shown, and its potential in treating ARDS and preventing PF might represent a new therapeutic strategy.

2. The use of induced hypothermia in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A narrative review

Author: Anthony Moreau, Bruno Levy, Filippo Annoni, Roberto Lorusso, Fuhong Su, Mirko Belliato, and Fabio Silvio Taccone
Subjects: Brain, Monitoring, ECMO, Ischemia, Perfusion, Induced hypothermia, Specialties of internal medicine, RC581-951
Abstract: Despite venovenous or venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) being increasingly used in patients with severe acute respiratory disease syndrome, severe cardiogenic shock, and refractory cardiac arrest, mortality rates still remain high mainly because of the severity of the underlying disease and the numerous complications associated with initiation of ECMO. Induced hypothermia might minimize several pathological pathways present in patients requiring ECMO; even though numerous studies conducted in the experimental setting have reported promising results, there are currently no recommendations suggesting the routine use of this therapy in patients requiring ECMO. In this review, we summarized the existing evidence on the use of induced hypothermia in patients requiring ECMO. Induced hypothermia was a feasible and relatively safe intervention in this setting; however, the effects on clinical outcomes remain uncertain. Whether controlled normothermia has an impact on these patients compared with no temperature control remains unknown. Further randomized controlled trials are required to better understand the role and impact of such therapy in patients requiring ECMO according to the underlying disease.

Subjects: respiratory failure, CO2 removal, extracorporeal, high blood flow, ARDS, complications, Chemical technology, TP1-1185, Chemical engineering, TP155-156
Abstract: Background: In this retrospective study, we report the effectiveness and safety of a dedicated extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) device in critically ill patients. Methods: Adult patients on mechanical ventilation due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or decompensated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (dCOPD), who were treated with a dedicated ECCO2R device (CO2RESET, Eurosets, Medolla, Italy) in case of hypercapnic acidemia, were included. Repeated measurements of CO2 removal (VCO2) at baseline and 1, 12, and 24 h after the initiation of therapy were recorded. Results: Over a three-year period, 11 patients received ECCO2R (median age 60 [43–72] years) 3 (2–39) days after ICU admission; nine patients had ARDS and two had dCOPD. Median baseline pH and PaCO2 levels were 7.27 (7.12–7.33) and 65 (50–84) mmHg, respectively. With a median ECCO2R blood flow of 800 (500–800) mL/min and maximum gas flow of 6 (2–14) L/min, the VCO2 at 12 h after ECCO2R initiation was 157 (58–183) mL/min. Tidal volume, respiratory rate, and driving pressure were significantly reduced over time. Few side effects were reported. Conclusions: In this study, a dedicated ECCO2R device provided a high VCO2 with a favorable risk profile.

Abstract: Abstract Background Single- (SL) and double-lumen (DL) catheters are used in clinical practice for veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) therapy. However, information is lacking regarding the effects of the cannulation on neurological complications. Methods A retrospective observational study based on data from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry. All adult patients included in the ELSO registry from 2011 to 2018 submitted to a single run of V-V ECMO were analyzed. Propensity score (PS) inverse probability of treatment weighting estimation for multiple treatments was used. The average treatment effect (ATE) was chosen as the causal effect estimate of outcome. The aim of the study was to evaluate differences in the occurrence and the type of neurological complications in adult patients undergoing V-V ECMO when treated with SL or DL cannulas. Results From a population of 6834 patients, the weighted propensity score matching included 6245 patients (i.e., 91% of the total cohort; 4175 with SL and 20,270 with DL cannulation). The proportion of patients with at least one neurological complication was similar in the SL (306, 7.2%) and DL (189, 7.7%; odds ratio 1.10 [95% confidence intervals 0.91–1.32]; p = 0.33). After weighted propensity score, the ATE for the occurrence of least one neurological complication was 0.005 (95% CI − 0.009 to 0.018; p = 0.50). Also, the occurrence of specific neurological complications, including intracerebral hemorrhage, acute ischemic stroke, seizures or brain death, was similar between groups. Overall mortality was similar between patients with neurological complications in the two groups. Conclusions In this large registry, the occurrence of neurological complications was not related to the type of cannulation in patients undergoing V-V ECMO.

Subjects: elderly patients, emergency room, major trauma, severe trauma, trauma center, Medical emergencies. Critical care. Intensive care. First aid, RC86-88.9
Abstract: Introduction: Major trauma is the leading cause of mortality in the world in patients younger than 40 years. However, the proportion of elderly people who suffer trauma has increased significantly. The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation of old age with mortality and other unfavorable outcomes. Methods: We assessed on one hand, anatomical criteria such as ISS values and the number of body regions affected, on the other hand, hemodynamic instability criteria, various shock indices, and Glasgow Coma Scale. Finally, we also evaluated biochemical parameters, such as lactate, BE, and pH values. We conducted a prospective and monocentric observational study of all the patients referred to the Emergency Department of the IRCCS Fondazione Policlinico S. Matteo in Pavia for major trauma in 13 consecutive months: January 1, 2018–January 30, 2019. We compared the elderly population (>75 years) and the younger population (≤75). Results: We included 501 patients, among which 10% were over the age of 75 years. The mortality rate was higher among the older patients than among the younger (4% vs. 1.33%; P = 0.050). Hemodynamic instability was more common in the older patients than in the younger (26% vs. 9%; P < 0.001). More older patients (44%) had an ISS >16, in comparison with 32% of younger patients (P = 0.01). Conclusions: The elderly showed worse outcomes in terms of mortality, hospitalization rate, hemodynamic instability criteria, and anatomical and biochemical parameters.

Subjects: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Acute respiratory distress syndrome, Animal models, Pre-clinical models, Systematic review, Medical emergencies. Critical care. Intensive care. First aid, RC86-88.9
Abstract: Abstract Objectives Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly accepted means of supporting those with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Given the high mortality associated with ARDS, numerous animal models have been developed to support translational research. Where ARDS is combined with ECMO, models are less well characterized. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review of animal models combining features of experimental ARDS with ECMO to better understand this situation. Data sources MEDLINE and Embase were searched between January 1996 and December 2018. Study selection Inclusion criteria: animal models combining features of experimental ARDS with ECMO. Exclusion criteria: clinical studies, abstracts, studies in which the model of ARDS and ECMO has been reported previously, and studies not employing veno-venous, veno-arterial, or central ECMO. Data extraction Data were extracted to fully characterize models. Variables related to four key features: (1) study design, (2) animals and their peri-experimental care, (3) models of ARDS and mechanical ventilation, and (4) ECMO and its intra-experimental management. Data synthesis Seventeen models of ARDS and ECMO were identified. Twelve were published after 2009. All were performed in large animals, the majority (n = 10) in pigs. The median number of animals included in each study was 17 (12–24), with a median study duration of 8 h (5–24). Oleic acid infusion was the commonest means of inducing ARDS. Most models employed peripheral veno-venous ECMO (n = 12). The reporting of supportive measures and the practice of mechanical ventilation were highly variable. Descriptions of ECMO equipment and its management were more complete. Conclusion A limited number of models combine the features of experimental ARDS with ECMO. Among those that do, there is significant heterogeneity in both design and reporting. There is a need to standardize the reporting of pre-clinical studies in this area and to develop best practice in their design.

Abstract: Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)–associated hemolysis still represents a serious complication. The present study aimed to investigate those predictive factors, such as flow rates, the use of anticoagulants, and circuit connected dialysis, that might play a pivotal role in hemolysis in adult patients. Methods This is a retrospective single-center case series of 35 consecutive adult patients undergoing veno-venous ECMO support at our center between April 2014 and February 2020. Daily plasma-free hemoglobin (pfHb) and haptoglobin (Hpt) levels were chosen as hemolysis markers and they were analyzed along with patients’ characteristics, daily laboratory findings, and corresponding ECMO system variables, as well as continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) when administered, looking for factors influencing their trends over time. Results Among the many settings related to the ECMO support, the presence of CRRT connected to the ECMO circuit has been found associated with both higher daily pfHb levels and lower Hpt levels. After correction for potential confounders, hemolysis was ascribable to circuit-related variables, in particular the membrane oxygenation dead space was associated with an Hpt reduction (B = −215.307, p = 0.004). Moreover, a reduction of ECMO blood flow by 1 L/min has been associated with a daily Hpt consumption of 93.371 mg/dL ( p = 0.001). Conclusions Technical-induced hemolysis during ECMO should be monitored not only when suspected but also during quotidian management and check-ups. While considering the clinical complexity of patients on ECMO support, clinicians should not only be aware of and anticipate possible circuitry malfunctions or inadequate flow settings, but they should also take into account the effects of an ECMO circuit–connected CRRT, as an equally important key factor triggering hemolysis.

Abstract: Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2. Consensus suggestions can standardise care, thereby improving outcomes and facilitating future research. Methods An International Task Force was composed and agreement regarding courses of action was measured using the Convergence of Opinion on Recommendations and Evidence (CORE) process. 70% agreement was necessary to make a consensus suggestion. Results The Task Force made consensus suggestions to treat patients with acute COVID-19 pneumonia with remdesivir and dexamethasone but suggested against hydroxychloroquine except in the context of a clinical trial; these are revisions of prior suggestions resulting from the interim publication of several randomised trials. It also suggested that COVID-19 patients with a venous thromboembolic event be treated with therapeutic anticoagulant therapy for 3 months. The Task Force was unable to reach sufficient agreement to yield consensus suggestions for the post-hospital care of COVID-19 survivors. The Task Force fell one vote shy of suggesting routine screening for depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Conclusions The Task Force addressed questions related to pharmacotherapy in patients with COVID-19 and the post-hospital care of survivors, yielding several consensus suggestions. Management options for which there is insufficient agreement to formulate a suggestion represent research priorities.

Subjects: Neurosurgery, Trauma, Emergency medicine, Internal medicine, Clinical research, Brain injury management, Science (General), Q1-390, Social sciences (General), H1-99
Abstract: Introduction: We evaluated the risk profile of elderly patients who came to the emergency department for mild head trauma. The primary goal was to determine the difference in the incidence of posttraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) after minor head injury (MHI). The secondary objective was to assess worse outcome, such as: hospitalization rate, rate of re-admission, need of neurosurgery. We also assess the admission process times and length of hospital stay. The ultimate goal was to optimize the diagnostic-observational management of minor head trauma in elderly patients. Material and methods: We evaluated all patients with MHI who came to our emergency department during 2017 and 2018. All patients underwent computed tomography. Results: We enrolled 2325 patients, of whom 1094 were 75 years of age or older. The population was divided into two categories according to age: The “elderly population” was 75 or older, and the younger patients were younger than 75. The elderly population, in comparison with the younger patients, had a higher rate of ICH (12.1% versus 5.1%), a higher hospitalization rate (11.7% versus 5.5%), and a higher rate of readmission within 30 days (6.8% versus 3.2%). The elderly population also had longer admission process times (8 h, 25 min, versus 4 h, 09 min) and longer lengths of hospital stay (9 h, 41 min, versus 5 h, 29 min). Of the younger patients, 92% (versus 41% of the elderly population) did not take any drugs, 6% (versus 39%) were receiving antiplatelet therapy, 1% (versus 13%) took vitamin K antagonists, and 1% (versus 7%) took oral direct-acting anticoagulants. Logistic regression models revealed that a 1-year increase in age raised the risk of bleeding by 2% on average; this finding was statistically significant (odds ratio [OR], 1023/year, p < 0.001). The rate of ICH increased significantly after the age of 75, by 180% (OR, 2.82; p < 0.001). Conclusions: These data suggest that age is an independent risk factor for ICH, whereby the age of 75 entails a 180% increase in the risk of bleeding.

Abstract: Hyperimmune plasma from Covid-19 convalescent is a potential treatment for severe Covid-19. We conducted a multicenter one arm proof of concept interventional study. Patients with Covid-19 disease with moderate-to-severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, elevated C-reactive Protein and need for mechanical ventilation and/or CPAP were enrolled. One to three 250-300 ml unit of hyperimmune plasma (neutralizing antibodies titer ≥1:160) were administered. Primary outcome was 7-days hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were PaO2/FiO2, laboratory and radiologic changes, as well as weaning from mechanical ventilation and safety. The study observed 46 patients from March, 25 to April, 21 2020. Patients were aged 63, 61% male, of them, 30 were on CPAP and 7 intubated. PaO2/FiO2 was 128 (SD 47). Bilateral infiltrates on chest X-ray was present in 36 patients (84%). Symptoms and ARDS duration were 14 (SD 7) and 6 days (SD 3). Three patients (6.5%) died within 7 days as compared to an expected 15% from the National Statistics and 30% from a small concurrent cohort of 23 patients. The upper one-sided 90%CI was 13.9%, allowing to reject the null hypothesis of a 15% mortality. PaO2/FiO2 increased by 112 units (95%CI 82 to142) in survivors, the chest radiogram severity decreased in 23% (95%CI 5% to 42%); CRP, Ferritin and LDH decreased by 60, 36 and 20% respectively. Weaning from CPAP was obtained in 26/30 patients and 3/7 were extubated. Five serious adverse events occurred in 4 patients (2 likely, 2 possible treatment related). In conclusion, Hyperimmune plasma in Covid-19 shows promising benefits, to be confirmed in a randomized controlled trial. This proof of concept study could open to future developments including hyperimmune plasma banking, development of standardized pharmaceutical products and monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract: Abstract Background The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Maastricht Treaty for Nomenclature in Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) established consensus nomenclature and abbreviations for ECLS to ensure accurate, concise communication. Methods We build on this consensus nomenclature by layering a framework of precise and efficient abbreviations for cannula configuration that describe flow direction, number of cannulae used, any additional ECLS-related catheters, and cannulation sites. This work is a consensus of international representatives of the ELSO, including those from the North American, Latin American, European, South and West Asian, and Asian-Pacific chapters of ELSO. Results The classification increases in descriptive capability by introducing a third (cannula tip position) and fourth (cannula dimension) level to those provided in the previous consensus on ECLS cannulation configuration nomenclature. This expansion offers the simplest level needed to convey cannulation information yet allows for more details when required. Conclusions A complete nomenclature for ECLS cannulation configurations accommodating future revisions was developed to facilitate ability to compare practices and results, to promote efficient communication, and to improve quality of registry data.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been widely used in patients with COVID-19, but uncertainty remains about the determinants of in-hospital mortality and data on post-discharge outcomes are scarce. The aims of this study were to investigate the variables associated with in-hospital outcomes in patients who received ECMO during the first wave of COVID-19 and to describe the status of patients 6 months after ECMO initiation.METHODS: EuroECMO-COVID is a prospective, multicentre, observational study developed by the European Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. This study was based on data from patients aged 16 years or older who received ECMO support for refractory COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic-from March 1 to Sept 13, 2020-at 133 centres in 21 countries. In-hospital mortality and mortality 6 months after ECMO initiation were the primary outcomes. Mixed-Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate associations between patient and management-related variables (eg, patient demographics, comorbidities, pre-ECMO status, and ECMO characteristics and complications) and in-hospital deaths. Survival status at 6 months was established through patient contact or institutional charts review. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04366921, and is ongoing.FINDINGS: Between March 1 and Sept 13, 2020, 1215 patients (942 [78%] men and 267 [22%] women; median age 53 years [IQR 46-60]) were included in the study. Median ECMO duration was 15 days (IQR 8-27). 602 (50%) of 1215 patients died in hospital, and 852 (74%) patients had at least one complication. Multiorgan failure was the leading cause of death (192 [36%] of 528 patients who died with available data). In mixed-Cox analyses, age of 60 years or older, use of inotropes and vasopressors before ECMO initiation, chronic renal failure, and time from intubation to ECMO initiation of 4 days or more were associated with higher in-hospital mortality. 613 patients did not die in hospital, and 547 (95%) of 577 patients for whom data were available were alive at 6 months. 102 (24%) of 431 patients had returned to full-time work at 6 months, and 57 (13%) of 428 patients had returned to part-time work. At 6 months, respiratory rehabilitation was required in 88 (17%) of 522 patients with available data, and the most common residual symptoms included dyspnoea (185 [35%] of 523 patients) and cardiac (52 [10%] of 514 patients) or neurocognitive (66 [13%] of 512 patients) symptoms.INTERPRETATION: Patient's age, timing of cannulation (FUNDING: None.

Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of insufficient beta-lactam concentrations in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients receiving ECMO support and treated with ceftazidime or cefepime (CEF), piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP), or meropenem (MEM). Trough drug concentrations (Cmin) were measured before the subsequent dose, according to the decision of the attending physician. Insufficient drug concentrations were identified if Cmin was below the clinical breakpoint of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: A total of 222 Cmin (CEF, n = 41; TZP, n = 85; MEM, n = 96) from 110 patients were included; insufficient concentrations were observed in 26 (12%) antibiotic assessments; 21 (81%) of those occurred during MEM therapy. Insufficient Cmin were associated with a shorter time from initiation of antibiotics to measurement, a lower single dose of antibiotic, a higher creatinine clearance (CrCL), lower sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores, and less use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) when compared to others. Conclusions: Insufficient broad-spectrum beta-lactam concentrations were observed in 12% of drug measurement during ECMO therapy. Higher than recommended drug regimens could be considered in the very early phase of therapy and in those patients with augmented renal clearance and with less severe organ dysfunction.

Abstract: Background: Current management practices and outcomes in weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation are poorly understood. We aimed to describe the epidemiology, management, timings, risk for failure, and outcomes of weaning in patients requiring at least 2 days of invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: WEAN SAFE was an international, multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study done in 481 intensive care units in 50 countries. Eligible participants were older than 16 years, admitted to a participating intensive care unit, and receiving mechanical ventilation for 2 calendar days or longer. We defined weaning initiation as the first attempt to separate a patient from the ventilator, successful weaning as no reintubation or death within 7 days of extubation, and weaning eligibility criteria based on positive end-expiratory pressure, fractional concentration of oxygen in inspired air, and vasopressors. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients successfully weaned at 90 days. Key secondary outcomes included weaning duration, timing of weaning events, factors associated with weaning delay and weaning failure, and hospital outcomes. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03255109. Findings: Between Oct 4, 2017, and June 25, 2018, 10 232 patients were screened for eligibility, of whom 5869 were enrolled. 4523 (77·1%) patients underwent at least one separation attempt and 3817 (65·0%) patients were successfully weaned from ventilation at day 90. 237 (4·0%) patients were transferred before any separation attempt, 153 (2·6%) were transferred after at least one separation attempt and not successfully weaned, and 1662 (28·3%) died while invasively ventilated. The median time from fulfilling weaning eligibility criteria to first separation attempt was 1 day (IQR 0-4), and 1013 (22·4%) patients had a delay in initiating first separation of 5 or more days. Of the 4523 (77·1%) patients with separation attempts, 2927 (64·7%) had a short wean (≤1 d

Abstract: In December 2019 in China, after a pneumonia outbreak of unknown etiology, a new RNA virus has been identified and called Sars-CoV-2. Sars-CoV-2 induced severe respiratory infections, with global and rapid epidemic diffusion, designated coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Sars-CoV-2 infection can lead to severe complications, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with progression to pulmonary fibrosis. Recent clinical studies described that in patients with severe Covid-19, MSC infusions, promote regenerative and reparative effects with anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic action. MSCs do not express ACE2 and TMPRSS2, the two main human receptors for host-pathogen interaction, and are not permissive to in vitro Sars-CoV-2 infection, making them suitable for clinical application. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MSCs as cellular therapy in ARDS secondary to Sars-CoV-2 in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, in order to prevent pulmonary fibrosis. MSCs for infusions are thawed at 2x106/ml cellular concentration. The intravenous infusion protocol consists of two doses of third party allogenic MSCs at 1x106/Kg, 15 day apart. From April 2020, six adult patients median age 65 years, median body weight 80 Kg, in mechanical ventilation for ARDS secondary to Sars-CoV-2 infection have been treated. Early or late adverse events were not recorded. Four out six patients showed a significant gas exchange improvement with extubation within seven days from the first infusion. Our results underline the safety and efficacy of MSC infusions for ARDS patients in mechanical ventilation, supporting the need of a phase I/II clinical trial.

Abstract: In-hospital mortality of adult veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) patients remains invariably high. However, little is known regarding timing and causes of in-hospital death, either on-ECMO or after weaning. The current review aims to investigate the timing and causes of death of adult patients during hospital admittance for V-V ECMO, and to define the V-V ECMO gap, which is represented by the patients that are successfully weaned of ECMO but still die during hospital stay. A systematic search was performed using electronic MEDLINE and EMBASE databases through PubMed. Studies reporting on adult V-V ECMO patients from January 2006 to December 2020 were screened. Studies that did not report on at least on-ECMO mortality and discharge rate were excluded from analysis as they could not provide the required information regarding the proposed V-V ECMO-gap. Mortality rates on-ECMO and after weaning, as well as weaning and discharge rates, were analyzed as primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes were the causes of death and complications. Initially, 35 studies were finally included in this review. Merely 24 of these studies (comprising 975 patients) reported on prespecified V-V ECMO outcomes (on-ECMO mortality and discharge rate). Mortality on V-V ECMO support was 27.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 22.5%-33.2%), whereas mortality after successful weaning was 12.7% (95% CI 8.8%-16.6%, defining the V-V ECMO gap). 72.2% of patients (95% CI 66.8%-77.5%) were weaned successfully from support and 56.8% (95% CI 49.9%-63.8%) of patients were discharged from hospital. The most common causes of death on ECMO were multiple organ failure, bleeding, and sepsis. Most common causes of death after weaning were multiorgan failure and sepsis. Although the majority of patients are weaned successfully from V-V ECMO support, a significant proportion of subjects still die during hospital stay, defining the V-V ECMO gap. Overall, timing and causes of death are poorly reported in current literature. Future studies on V-V ECMO should describe morbidity and mortality outcomes in more detail in relation to the timing of the events, to improve patient management, due to enhanced understanding of the clinical course.

Abstract: Introduction An analysis on the ECLS use for patients with respiratory or cardiac support in COVID-19 based on an international response to EuroELSO survey, aims to generate a more comprehensive understanding of ECLS role during the recent viral pandemic. Methods EuroELSO announced the survey at the 10th annual congress in London, May 2022. The survey covered 26 multiple-choice questions. Results The survey returned 69 questionnaires from 62 centers across 22 European countries and seven centers across five non-European countries. Most of the centers providing ECLS for COVID-19 patients had more than 30 runs for respiratory support since December 2019. In the same period, at least 31 runs in adult COVID-19 patients have been performed in 48 of 69 centers (69.6%). The reported pediatric data from 18 centers is limited to less than the patients per center. Conclusion Majority of the COVID-19 patients received respiratory ECLS support and adult patients dominated. The indications and contraindications are broadly aligned with available guidelines. Most of the centers considered age >65 or biological age as a relative or absolute contraindication for ECLS in COVID-19. ECLS withdrawal criteria in COVID-19 are controversial because the long-term outcomes after ECLS in COVID-19 and the impact of critical illness and the impact of long-COVID are still not known.

Abstract: Background: Adverse neurological events during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are common and may be associated with devastating consequences. Close monitoring, early identification and prompt intervention can mitigate early and late neurological morbidity. Neuromonitoring and neurocognitive/neurodevelopmental follow-up are critically important to optimize outcomes in both adults and children. Objective: To assess current practice of neuromonitoring during ECMO and neurocognitive/neurodevelopmental follow-up after ECMO across Europe and to inform the development of neuromonitoring and follow-up guidelines. Methods: The EuroELSO Neurological Monitoring and Outcome Working Group conducted an electronic, web-based, multi-institutional, multinational survey in Europe. Results: Of the 211 European ECMO centres (including non-ELSO centres) identified and approached in 23 countries, 133 (63%) responded. Of these, 43% reported routine neuromonitoring during ECMO for all patients, 35% indicated selective use, and 22% practiced bedside clinical examination alone. The reported neuromonitoring modalities were NIRS ( n = 88, 66.2%), electroencephalography ( n = 52, 39.1%), transcranial Doppler ( n = 38, 28.5%) and brain injury biomarkers ( n = 33, 24.8%). Paediatric centres (67%) reported using cranial ultrasound, though the frequency of monitoring varied widely. Before hospital discharge following ECMO, 50 (37.6%) reported routine neurological assessment and 22 (16.5%) routinely performed neuroimaging with more paediatric centres offering neurological assessment (65%) as compared to adult centres (20%). Only 15 (11.2%) had a structured longitudinal follow-up pathway (defined followup at regular intervals), while 99 (74.4%) had no follow-up programme. The majority ( n = 96, 72.2%) agreed that there should be a longitudinal structured follow-up for ECMO survivors. Conclusions: This survey demonstrated significant variability in the use of different neuromonitoring modalities during and after ECMO. The perceived importance of neuromonitoring and follow-up was noted to be very high with agreement for a longitudinal structured follow-up programme, particularly in paediatric patients. Scientific society endorsed guidelines and minimum standards should be developed to inform local protocols.

Abstract: Mechanical power (MP) represents a useful parameter to describe and quantify the forces applied to the lungs during mechanical ventilation (MV). In this multi-center, prospective, observational study, we analyzed MP variations following MV adjustments after veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) initiation. We also investigated whether the MV parameters (including MP) in the early phases of VV ECMO run may be related to the intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. Thirty-five patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome were prospectively enrolled and analyzed. After VV ECMO initiation, we observed a significant decrease in median MP (32.4 vs. 8.2 J/min, p < 0.001), plateau pressure (27 vs. 21 cmH2O, p = 0.012), driving pressure (11 vs. 8 cmH2O, p = 0.014), respiratory rate (RR, 22 vs. 14 breaths/min, p < 0.001), and tidal volume adjusted to patient ideal body weight (VT/IBW, 5.5 vs. 4.0 mL/kg, p = 0.001) values. During the early phase of ECMO run, RR (17 vs. 13 breaths/min, p = 0.003) was significantly higher, while positive end-expiratory pressure (10 vs. 14 cmH2O, p = 0.048) and VT/IBW (3.0 vs. 4.0 mL/kg, p = 0.028) were lower in ICU non-survivors, when compared to the survivors. The observed decrease in MP after ECMO initiation did not influence ICU outcome. Waiting for large studies assessing the role of these parameters in VV ECMO patients, RR and MP monitoring should not be underrated during ECMO.

22. Early Findings after Implementation of Veno-Arteriovenous ECMO: A Multicenter European Experience

Author: Aaron Blandino Ortiz, Mirko Belliato, Lars Mikael Broman, Olivier Lheureux, Maximilian Valentin Malfertheiner, Angela Xini, Federico Pappalardo, and Fabio Silvio Taccone
Subjects: ECMO, veno-artero-venous, differential hypoxia, low cardiac output, Chemical technology, TP1-1185, Chemical engineering, TP155-156
Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used to treat cardiopulmonary failure in critically ill patients. Peripheral cannulation may be complicated by a persistent low cardiac output in case of veno-venous cannulation (VV-ECMO) or by differential hypoxia (e.g., lower PaO2 in the upper than in the lower body) in case of veno-arterial cannulation (VA-ECMO) and severe impairment of pulmonary function associated with cardiac recovery. The treatment of such complications remains challenging. We report the early effects of the use of veno-arterial-venous (V-AV) ECMO in this setting. Methods: Retrospective analysis including patients from five different European ECMO centers (January 2013 to December 2016) who required V-AV ECMO. We collected demographic data as well as comorbidities and ECMO characteristics, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gas values before and immediately after (i.e., within 2 h) V-AV implementation. Results: A total of 32 patients (age 53 (interquartiles, IQRs: 31–59) years) were identified: 16 were initially supported with VA-ECMO and 16 with VV-ECMO. The median time to V-AV conversion was 2 (1–5) days. After V-AV implantation, heart rate and norepinephrine dose significantly decreased, while PaO2 and SaO2 significantly increased compared to baseline values. Lactate levels significantly decreased from 3.9 (2.3–7.1) to 2.8 (1.4–4.4) mmol/L (p = 0.048). A significant increase in the overall ECMO blood flow (from 4.5 (3.8–5.0) to 4.9 (4.3–5.9) L/min; p < 0.01) was observed, with 3.0 (2.5–3.2) L/min for the arterial and 2.8 (2.1–3.6) L/min for the venous return flows. Conclusions: In ECMO patients with differential hypoxia or persistently low cardiac output syndrome, V-AV conversion was associated with improvement in some hemodynamic and respiratory parameters. A significant increase in the overall ECMO blood flow was also observed, with similar flow distributed into the arterial and venous return cannulas.

23. Validation of Prognostic Scores in Extracorporeal Life Support: A Multi-Centric Retrospective Study

Author: Christoph Fisser, Luis Alberto Rincon-Gutierrez, Tone Bull Enger, Fabio Silvio Taccone, Lars Mikael Broman, Mirko Belliato, Leda Nobile, Federico Pappalardo, and Maximilian V. Malfertheiner
Subjects: ECMO, score, RESP score, SAVE score, validation, ECLS, Chemical technology, TP1-1185, Chemical engineering, TP155-156
Abstract: Multiple prognostic scores have been developed for both veno-arterial (VA) and veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), mostly in single-center cohorts. The aim of this study was to compare and validate different prediction scores in a large multicenter ECMO-population. Methods: Data from five ECMO centers included 300 patients on VA and 329 on VV ECMO support (March 2008 to November 2016). Different prognostic scores were compared between survivors and non-survivors: APACHE II, SOFA, SAPS II in all patients; SAVE, modified SAVE and MELD-XI in VA ECMO; RESP, PRESET, ROCH and PRESERVE in VV ECMO. Model performance was compared using receiver-operating-curve analysis and assessment of model calibration. Survival was assessed at intensive care unit discharge. Results: The main indication for VA ECMO was cardiogenic shock; overall survival was 51%. ICU survivors had higher Glasgow Coma Scale scores and pH, required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) less frequently, had lower lactate levels and shorter ventilation time pre-ECMO at baseline. The best discrimination between survivors and non-survivors was observed with the SAPS II score (area under the curve [AUC] of 0.73 (95% CI 0.67–0.78)). The main indication for VV ECMO was pneumonia; overall survival was 60%. Lower PaCO2, higher pH, lower lactate and lesser need for CPR were observed among survivors. The best discrimination between survivors and non-survivors was observed with the PRESET score (AUC 0.66 (95% CI 0.60–0.72)). Conclusion: The prognostic performance of most scores was moderate in ECMO patients. The use of such scores to decide about ECMO implementation in potential candidates should be discouraged.

Subjects: extracorporeal CO2 removal, lung protective ventilation, mechanical ventilation, experimental model, Chemical technology, TP1-1185, Chemical engineering, TP155-156
Abstract: Background: Ultra-protective lung ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome or early weaning and/or avoidance of mechanical ventilation in decompensated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may be facilitated by the use of extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R). We tested the CO2 removal performance of a new ECCO2R (CO2RESET) device in an experimental animal model. Methods: Three healthy pigs were mechanically ventilated and connected to the CO2RESET device (surface area = 1.8 m2, EUROSETS S.r.l., Medolla, Italy). Respiratory settings were adjusted to induce respiratory acidosis with the adjunct of an external source of pure CO2 (target pre membrane lung venous PCO2 (PpreCO2): 80–120 mmHg). The amount of CO2 removed (VCO2, mL/min) by the membrane lung was assessed directly by the ECCO2R device. Results: Before the initiation of ECCO2R, the median PpreCO2 was 102.50 (95.30–118.20) mmHg. Using fixed incremental steps of the sweep gas flow and maintaining a fixed blood flow of 600 mL/min, VCO2 progressively increased from 0 mL/min (gas flow of 0 mL/min) to 170.00 (160.00–200.00) mL/min at a gas flow of 10 L/min. In particular, a high increase of VCO2 was observed increasing the gas flow from 0 to 2 L/min, then, VCO2 tended to progressively achieve a steady-state for higher gas flows. No animal or pump complications were observed. Conclusions: Medium-flow ECCO2R devices with a blood flow of 600 mL/min and a high surface membrane lung (1.8 m2) provided a high VCO2 using moderate sweep gas flows (i.e., >2 L/min) in an experimental swine models with healthy lungs.

Subjects: trauma, coagulopathy, hemodynamics, trauma management, Medicine (General), R5-920
Abstract: Background and Objectives: Trauma coagulopathy begins at the moment of trauma. This study investigated whether coagulopathy upon arrival in the emergency room (ER) is correlated with increased hemotransfusion requirement, more hemodynamic instability, more severe anatomical damage, a greater need for hospitalization, and hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU). We also analyzed whether trauma coagulopathy is correlated with unfavorable indices, such as acidemia, lactate increase, and base excess (BE) increase. Material and Methods: We conducted a prospective, monocentric, observational study of all patients (n = 503) referred to the Department of Emergency and Acceptance, IRCCS Fondazione Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia, for major trauma from 1 January 2018 to 30 January 2019. Results: Of the 503 patients, 204 had trauma coagulopathy (group 1), whereas 299 patients (group 2) did not. Group 1 had a higher hemotransfusion rate than group 2. In group 1, 15% of patients showed hemodynamic instability compared with only 8% of group 2. The shock index (SI) distribution was worse in group 1 than in group 2. Group 1 was more often hypotensive, tachycardic, and with low oxygen saturation, and had a more severe injury severity score than group 2. In addition, 47% of group 1 had three or more body districts involved compared with 23% of group 2. The hospitalization rate was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (76% vs. 58%). The length of hospitalization was >10 days for 45% of group 1 compared with 28% of group 2. The hospitalization rate in the ICU was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (22% vs. 14.8%). The average duration of ICU hospitalization was longer in group 1 than in group 2 (12.5 vs. 9.78 days). Mortality was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (3.92% vs. 0.98%). Group 1 more often had acidemia and high lactates than group 2. Group 1 also more often had BE Conclusions: Trauma coagulopathy patients, upon arrival in the ER, have greater hemotransfusion (p = 0.016) requirements and need hospitalization (p = 0.032) more frequently than patients without trauma coagulopathy. Trauma coagulopathy seems to be more present in patients with a higher injury severity score (ISS) (p = 0.000) and a greater number of anatomical districts involved (p = 0.000). Head trauma (p = 0.000) and abdominal trauma (p = 0.057) seem related to the development of trauma coagulopathy. Males seem more exposed than females in developing trauma coagulopathy (p = 0.018). Upon arrival in the ER, the presence of tachycardia or alteration of SI and its derivatives can allow early detection of patients with trauma coagulopathy.

Abstract: Introduction: In cardiac arrest, cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury mainly determine the neurological outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the course of cerebral oxygenation and regain of consciousness in patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). We hypothesized that rapid cerebral oxygenation increase causes unfavorable outcomes. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in three European hospitals. We included adult ECPR patients between October 2018 and March 2020, in whom cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measurements were started minutes before ECPR initiation until 3 h after. The primary outcome was regain of consciousness, defined as following commands, analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results: The sample consisted of 26 ECPR patients (23% women, Agemean 46 years). We found no significant differences in rSO2 values at baseline (49.1% versus 49.3% for regain versus no regain of consciousness). Mean cerebral rSO2 values in the first 30 min after ECPR initiation were higher in patients who regained consciousness (38%) than in patients who did not regain consciousness (62%, odds ratio 1.23, 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.50). Conclusion: Higher mean cerebral rSO2 values in the first 30 min after initiation of ECPR were found in patients who regained consciousness.

Subjects: Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine
Abstract: Background Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation (CSD) has been recently proposed for the treatment of refractory ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in patients with cardiomyopathy (CMP). A multicentric American and Indian case series suggested a greater efficacy of bilateral denervation (BCSD), compared to the left-side only procedure (LCSD), albeit with the potential prize of an increased need for atrial pacing due to the right-side innervation of the sinus node. The impact of CSD on the risk of electrical storms (ES) in CMP has never been evaluated. Aim To describe our multicenter Italian experience with CSD in CMP patients with drug and/or catheter ablation refractory VAs, with a specific focus on ES incidence. Methods Thirty patients with CMP and refractory VAs underwent either LCSD or BCSD between April 2016 and June 2022. Among them, one patient received first LCSD and then right-side denervation due to ES recurrence after LCSD: to properly assess the risk of ES after LCSD and BCSD he was included in both groups with the corresponding follow-up, leading to 5 cases of LCSD and 26 cases of BCSD. All patients had a Video–Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), in 8 cases associated with the robotic technique. The main reason (3/5 cases, 60%) to perform LCSD instead of BCSD since the beginning was sinus bradycardia in single ICD lead recipients. Results 87% of pts were male, the mean age was 56 ± 16 yrs and the mean LVEF 31± 12%; most (n=26, 85%) suffered non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and 37% were in NYHA functional class ≥3. Main indications for CSD were represented by refractory polymorphic/fast VAs (cycle length No major complication directly related to the procedure occurred. Overall, 11 patients (37%) either died during FU (n=8, 27%), mostly due to end-stage heart failure, or underwent heart transplant (n=3, 10%). After denervation, the percentage of patients with ES decreased from 77% to 40% (p Conclusions Our case series of CSD in cardiomyopathies represents the largest reported in Europe and the first ever to specifically evaluate the impact of denervation on electrical storms. The occurrence of electrical storm was more than halved by bilateral CSD confirming the powerful protective effect of BCSD also on this ominous phenomenon. The greater antiarrhythmic benefit observed among patients with better functional class suggests the opportunity to perform this procedure earlier on in the trajectory of patients with progressive heart failure.

Abstract: Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI), requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). In our clinical practice, we connected the inlet line of a CRRT machine to the postoxygenator Luer port and the outlet line to the inlet Luer port of the oxygenator. In this case series, we analyzed the interaction between the two machines. Between December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2019, we enrolled 15 patients from the ICU of the San Matteo Hospital, Pavia, Italy. All of them suffered from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and AKI stage 3. We analyzed 570 hours of CRRT combined with venovenous ECMO and collected 261,751 CRRT data. No discontinuation of CRRT occurred before 48 hours. Most of the alarms occurred within 24 hours of the connection: 22/10,831 (0.2%) showed an outranged inlet pressure, 11/10831 (0.11%) showed an outranged transmembrane pressure, 14/10,831 (0.13%) showed an outranged inlet pressure, and 138/10,831 (1.27%) an outranged effluent pressure. The rate per minute set for the ECMO circuit was correlated with the inlet (β = 5.38; CI, 95% 1.42-9.35; p = 0.008), transmembrane (β = 4.6; CI, 95% 1.97-7.24; p = 0.001), effluent (β = 3.02; CI, 95% 1.15-4.90; p = 0.002), and outlet pressures (β = 597; CI, 95% 2.31-9.63; p = 0.001) of the CRRT circuit. We reported that our configuration could be safe and effective, however well-designed studies would be beneficial for determining the potential risks and benefits.

Abstract: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) represents a component of the treatment strategy for severe respiratory failure. Clinical evidence on the management of the lung during V-V ECMO are limited just as the consensus regarding timing of weaning. The monitoring of the carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (V ' CO2TOT) is subdivided into two components: the membrane lung (ML) and the native lung (NL) are both taken into consideration to evaluate the improvement of the function of the lung and to predict the time to wean off ECMO. We enrolled patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The V ' CO2NL ratio (V ' CO2NL/V ' CO2TOT) value was calculated based on the distribution of CO2 between the NL and the ML. Of 18 patients, 15 were successfully weaned off of V-V ECMO. In this subgroup, we observed a significant increase in the V ' CO2NL ratio comparing the median values of the first and last quartiles (0.32 vs. 0.53, p = 0.0045), without observing any modifications in the ventilation parameters. An increase in the V ' CO2NL ratio, independently from any change in ventilation could, despite the limitations of the study, indicate an improvement in pulmonary function and may be used as a weaning index for ECMO.

Abstract: Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare condition, frequently complicated by pulmonary arteries' aneurysm. Aggressive medical therapy is often unsatisfactory and lung transplantation remains the only option. We report a unique case of severe idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension complicated by a giant pulmonary aneurism, massive pulmonary valve regurgitation, and right ventricle dysfunction. The patient was, as our first choice, listed for heart-lung transplantation and remained in emergency list for more than 7 months. Unfortunately, due to further clinical deterioration and the unavailability of a heart-lung bloc, plan B was mandatory. The patient underwent a combined procedure including: double lung transplant, pulmonary artery plasty, and sutureless pulmonary valve prosthesis with open deployment (first-in-man use in such scenario). Postoperative outcome was uneventful. Our thought is that double lung transplantation and conventional combined pulmonary artery/valve surgery should be considered as the first option avoiding excessive waiting times and potential further clinical deterioration.

Abstract: Rationale: Prone positioning reduces mortality in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To date, no evidence supports the use of prone positioning (PP) during venovenous extracorporeal oxygenation (ECMO). Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility, safety, and effect on oxygenation and lung mechanics of PP during ECMO. As a secondary exploratory aim, we assessed the association between PP and hospital mortality. Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study in six Italian ECMO centers, including patients managed with PP during ECMO support (prone group; four centers) and patients managed in the supine position (control group; two centers). Physiological variables were analyzed at four time points (supine before PP, start of PP, end of PP, and supine after PP). The association between PP and hospital mortality was assessed by multivariate analysis and propensity score–matching. Results: A total of 240 patients were included, with 107 in the prone group and 133 in the supine group. The median duration of the 326 pronation cycles was 15 (12–18) hours. Minor reversible complications were reported in 6% of PP maneuvers. PP improved oxygenation and reduced intrapulmonary shunt. Unadjusted hospital mortality was lower in the prone group (34 vs. 50%; P = 0.017). After adjusting for covariates, PP remained significantly associated with a reduction of hospital mortality (odds ratio, 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.29–0.87). Sixty-six propensity score–matched patients were identified in each group. In this matched sample, patients who underwent pronation had higher ECMO duration (16 vs. 10 d; P = 0.0344) but lower hospital mortality (30% vs. 53%; P = 0.0241). Conclusions: PP during ECMO improved oxygenation and was associated with a reduction of hospital mortality.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES After cardiac arrest, a key factor determining survival outcomes is low-flow duration. Our aims were to determine the relation of survival and low-flow duration of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) and if these 2 therapies have different short-term survival curves in relation to low-flow duration. METHODS We searched Embase, Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar from inception up to April 2021. A linear mixed-effect model was used to describe the course of survival over time, based on study-specific and time-specific aggregated survival data. RESULTS We included 42 observational studies reporting on 1689 ECPR and 375 751 CCPR procedures. Of the included studies, 25 included adults, 13 included children and 4 included both. In adults, survival curves decline rapidly over time (ECPR 37.2%, 29.8%, 23.8% and 19.1% versus CCPR-shockable 36.8%, 7.2%, 1.4% and 0.3% for 15, 30, 45 and 60 min low-flow, respectively). ECPR was associated with a statistically significant slower decline in survival than CCPR with initial shockable rhythms (CCPR-shockable). In children, survival curves decline rapidly over time (ECPR 43.6%, 41.7%, 39.8% and 38.0% versus CCPR-shockable 48.6%, 20.5%, 8.6% and 3.6% for 15, 30, 45 and 60 min low-flow, respectively). ECPR was associated with a statistically significant slower decline in survival than CCPR-shockable. CONCLUSIONS The short-term survival of ECPR and CCPR-shockable patients both decline rapidly over time, in adults as well as in children. This decline of short-term survival in relation to low-flow duration in ECPR was slower than in conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract: Recent molecular diagnostic methods have significantly improved the diagnosis of viral pneumonia in intensive care units (ICUs). It has been observed that 222G/N changes in the HA gene of H1N1pdm09 are associated with increased lower respiratory tract (LRT) replication and worse clinical outcome. In the present study, the frequency of respiratory viruses was assessed in respiratory samples from 88 patients admitted to 16 ICUs during the 2014-2015 winter-spring season in Lombardy. Sixty-nine out of 88 (78.4%) patients were positive for a respiratory viral infection at admission. Of these, 57/69 (82.6%) were positive for influenza A (41 A/H1N1pdm09 and 15 A/H3N2), 8/69 (11.6%) for HRV, 2/69 (2.9%) for RSV and 2/69 (2.9%) for influenza B. Phylogenetic analysis of influenza A/H1N1pdm09 strains from 28/41 ICU-patients and 21 patients with mild respiratory syndrome not requiring hospitalization, showed the clear predominance of subgroup 6B strains. The median influenza A load in LRT samples of ICU patients was higher than that observed in the upper respiratory tract (URT) (p

Abstract: We report a preliminary experience of adjuvant therapy with Hemoperfusion (HP) in patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) pneumonia. Currently, there are no approved treatments for CoronaVirus Disease 19 (COVID-19); however, therapeutic strategies based on the preclinical evidence include supportive measures, such as oxygen supplementation, antiviral, and anticoagulant agents. Despite these treatments, 10% of patients worsen and develop severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Since the pathogenic mechanism of ARDS is an uncontrolled inflammatory state, we speculate that removing inflammation effectors from blood may contrast tissue injury and improve clinical outcome. In a scenario of dramatic medical emergency, we conducted an observational study on 9 consecutive patients hospitalized in COVID Intensive Care Unit, where 5 of 9 consecutive patients were treated with HP, due to the emergency overload made it impossible to deliver blood purification in the other 4 patients. COVID-19 was diagnosed through the identification of virus sequences by reverse transcription-PCR on respiratory specimens. All patients had severe pneumonia requiring continuous positive airway pressure. HP was started in all patients 6–7 days after hospital admission. The treated patients (T) received 2 consecutive sessions of HP using CytoSorb cartridge. Our results show a better clinical course of T compared to control patients (C), in fact all T except 1 survived, and only 2 of them were intubated, while all C required intubation and died. Lymphocytopenia worsened in C but not in T. C-reactive protein decreased in both patients, but to a greater extent in T. IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α decreased after HP, IL-10 did not change. Respiratory function remained stable and did not worsen in T compared to C. The limited sample size and observational study design preclude a sound statement about the potential effectiveness of HP in COVID-19 patients, but our experience suggests a potential therapeutic role of adjuvant CytoSorb HP in the early course of COVID-19 pneumonia. A randomized clinical trial is ongoing.

Abstract: Introduction: In the last decade, dual-lumen cannulae have been increasingly applied in patients undergoing extracorporeal life support. Well-performing vascular access is crucial for efficient extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support; thus, guidance for proper cannulae size is required. Pressure–flow charts provided by manufacturers are often based on tests performed using water, rarely blood. However, blood is a shear-thinning and viscoelastic fluid characterized by different flow properties than water. Methods: We performed a study evaluating pressure–flow curves during standardized conditions using human whole blood in two commonly available dual-lumen cannulae used in neonates, pediatric, and adult patients. Results were merged and compared with the manufacturer’s corresponding curves obtained from the public domain. Results: The results showed that using blood as compared with water predominantly influenced drainage flow. A 10-80% higher pressure-drop was needed to obtain same drainage flow (hematocrit of 26%) compared with manufacturer’s water charts in 13-31 Fr bi-caval dual-lumen cannulae. The same net difference was found in cavo-atrial cannulae (16-32 Fr), where a lower drainage pressure was required (Hct of 26%) compared with the manufacturer’s test using blood with an Hct of 33%. Return pressure–flow data were similar, independent whether pumping blood or water, to the data reported by manufacturers. Conclusion: Non-standardized testing of pressure–flow properties of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation dual-lumen cannulae prevents an adequate prediction of pressure–flow results when these cannulae are used in patients. Properties of dual-lumen cannulae may vary between sizes within same cannula family, in particular concerning the drainage flow.

Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 and flu may lead to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The aim of the present study is to compare the incidence of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and outcome in patients with flu and SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalized in ICU and undergoing ECMO. This study is a retrospective analysis of the San Matteo COVID-19 Registry (SMACORE) cohort. The study was conducted from January 2018 to April 2020. Demographic data and microbiological data were recorded during hospitalization. BSIs occurring during ECMO were analyzed. Eighteen patients treated with ECMO, 22 subjects with SARS-CoV-2 infection and 7 with flu, median age 61years for SARS-CoV-2 and 50 for flu (p=NS). Median ECMO duration was similar in the two pathologies. Median time to bloodstream infection from ECMO initiation was similar. Bloodstream infection incidence rate was 2.65 per 100 patients/days for flu and 2.2 per 100 patients/days for SARS-CoV-2. Global infection rate was 5 per 100 patients/days for SARS-CoV-2 patients and 5.3 per 100 patients/days for flu. Mortality during ECMO was 40.9% (5 out of 22 patients) for SARS-CoV-2 infection while none died among flu patients. ECMO-associated mortality was higher in SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with flu infection.

Abstract: © Copyright Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology 2022., Objectives: To define the clinical spectrum time-course and prognosis of non-Asian patients positive for anti-MDA5 antibodies. Methods: We conducted a multicentre, international, retrospective cohort study. Results: 149 anti-MDA5 positive patients (median onset age 53 years, median disease duration 18 months), mainly females (100, 67%), were included. Dermatomyositis (64, 43%) and amyopathic dermatomyositis (47, 31%), were the main diagnosis; 15 patients (10%) were classified as interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) and 7 (5%) as rheumatoid arthritis. The main clinical findings observed were myositis (84, 56%), interstitial lung disease (ILD) (108, 78%), skin lesions (111, 74%), and arthritis (76, 51%). The onset of these manifestations was not concomitant in 74 cases (50%). Of note, 32 (21.5%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit for rapidly progressive-ILD, which occurred in median 2 months from lung involvement detection, in the majority of cases (28, 19%) despite previous immunosuppressive treatment. One-third of patients (47, 32% each) was ANA and anti-ENA antibodies negative and a similar percentage was anti-Ro52 kDa antibodies positive. Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (65, 60%), organising pneumonia (23, 21%), and usual interstitial pneumonia-like pattern (14, 13%) were the main ILD patterns observed. Twenty-six patients died (17%), 19 (13%) had a rapidly progressive-ILD. Conclusions: The clinical spectrum of the anti-MDA5 antibodies-related disease is heterogeneous. Rapidly-progressive ILD deeply impacts the prognosis also in non-Asian patients, occurring early during the disease course. Anti-MDA5 antibody positivity should be considered even when baseline autoimmune screening is negative, anti-Ro52 kDa antibodies are positive, and radiology findings show a NSIP pattern.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To describe the changes in ventilator management over time in patients with neurologic disease at ICU admission and to estimate factors associated with 28-day hospital mortality. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of three prospective, observational, multicenter studies. SETTING: Cohort studies conducted in 2004, 2010, and 2016. PATIENTS: Adult patients who received mechanical ventilation for more than 12 hours. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Among the 20,929 patients enrolled, we included 4,152 (20%) mechanically ventilated patients due to different neurologic diseases. Hemorrhagic stroke and brain trauma were the most common pathologies associated with the need for mechanical ventilation. Although volume-cycled ventilation remained the preferred ventilation mode, there was a significant (p < 0.001) increment in the use of pressure support ventilation. The proportion of patients receiving a protective lung ventilation strategy was increased over time: 47% in 2004, 63% in 2010, and 65% in 2016 (p < 0.001), as well as the duration of protective ventilation strategies: 406 days per 1,000 mechanical ventilation days in 2004, 523 days per 1,000 mechanical ventilation days in 2010, and 585 days per 1,000 mechanical ventilation days in 2016 (p < 0.001). There were no differences in the length of stay in the ICU, mortality in the ICU, and mortality in hospital from 2004 to 2016. Independent risk factors for 28-day mortality were age greater than 75 years, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II greater than 50, the occurrence of organ dysfunction within first 48 hours after brain injury, and specific neurologic diseases such as hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and brain trauma. CONCLUSIONS: More lung-protective ventilatory strategies have been implemented over years in neurologic patients with no effect on pulmonary complications or on survival. We found several prognostic factors on mortality such as advanced age, the severity of the disease, organ dysfunctions, and the etiology of neurologic disease.

Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of insufficient beta-lactam concentrations in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients receiving ECMO support and treated with ceftazidime or cefepime (CEF), piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP), or meropenem (MEM). Trough drug concentrations (Cmin) were measured before the subsequent dose, according to the decision of the attending physician. Insufficient drug concentrations were identified if Cmin was below the clinical breakpoint of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: A total of 222 Cmin (CEF, n = 41, TZP, n = 85, MEM, n = 96) from 110 patients were included, insufficient concentrations were observed in 26 (12%) antibiotic assessments, 21 (81%) of those occurred during MEM therapy. Insufficient Cmin were associated with a shorter time from initiation of antibiotics to measurement, a lower single dose of antibiotic, a higher creatinine clearance (CrCL), lower sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores, and less use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) when compared to others. Conclusions: Insufficient broad-spectrum beta-lactam concentrations were observed in 12% of drug measurement during ECMO therapy. Higher than recommended drug regimens could be considered in the very early phase of therapy and in those patients with augmented renal clearance and with less severe organ dysfunction.

Abstract: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced some reflections to be had surrounding the ventilatory support to be applied to certain types of patients. The model of two phenotypes, set out by Professor Gattinoni and colleagues, suggests that adequate monitoring of respiratory effort may play a key role in the treatment of respiratory failure due to COVID-19. An insufficient control of the patient’s respiratory efforts could lead to an aggravation of lung damage, mainly due to the possibility of generating Patient Self-Inflicted Lung Injury (PSILI) with a consequent aggravation of the pathological picture. Nevertheless, effectively monitoring the patient’s respiratory work, especially in nonintensive settings, is not easy. This article briefly describes some methods that allow the assessment of respiratory effort, such as the use of ultrasound and respiratory tests, which can be performed in nonintensive settings.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The objective was to assess predictors for unfavorable neurological outcome (UO) in out-of-hospital (OHCA) and in-hospital (IHCA) cardiac arrest patients treated with Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). METHODS A post hoc analysis of retrospective data from five European ECPR centers (January 2012-December 2016) was performed. The primary composite endpoint was 3-month UO defined as survival with a cerebral performance category (CPC) of 3-4 or death (CPC 5). RESULTS A total of 413 patients treated with ECPR were included (median age was 57 [48-65] years, male gender 78%): 61% of patients (n=250) suffered OHCA. The median time from collapse to ECMO placement was 63 [45-82] minutes. Overall, 81% patients (n=333) showed unfavorable UO, which was higher in OHCA patients (90% vs 66%), as compared to IHCA. In OHCA, prolonged time from collapse to ECMO initiation (OR 1.02, p

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the neurologic outcome following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in five European centers. Retrospective database analysis of prospective observational cohorts of patients undergoing ECPR (January 2012–December 2016) was performed. The primary outcome was 3-month favorable neurologic outcome (FO), defined as the cerebral performance categories of 1–2. Survival to ICU discharge and the number of patients undergoing organ donation were secondary outcomes. A subgroup of patients with stringent selection criteria (i.e., age ≤ 65 years, witnessed bystander CPR, no major co-morbidity and ECMO implemented within 1 h from arrest) was also analyzed. A total of 423 patients treated with ECPR were included (median age 57 [48–65] years; male gender 78%); ECPR was initiated for OHCA in 258 (61%) patients. Time from arrest to ECMO implementation was 65 [48–84] min. Eighty patients (19%) had favorable neurological outcome. ICU survival was 24% (n = 102); 23 (5%) non-survivors underwent organ donation procedures. Favorable neurological outcome rate was lower (9% vs. 34%, p

Abstract: Introduction: Veno-venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a hybrid-modality of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation combining veno-venous and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. It may be applied to patients with both respiratory and cardio-circulatory failure. Aim: To describe a computational spreadsheet regarding an ex vivo experimental model of veno-venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to determine the return of cannula pairs in a single pump–driven circuit. Methods: We developed an ex vivo model of veno-venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with a single pump and two outflow cannulas, and a glucose solution was used to mimic the features of blood. We maintained a fixed aortic impedance and physiological pulmonary resistance. Both flow and pressure data were collected while testing different pairs of outflow cannulas. Six simulations of different cannula pairs were performed, and data were analysed by a custom-made spreadsheet, which was able to predict the flow partition at different flow levels. Results: In all simulations, the flow in the arterial cannula gradually increased differently depending on the cannula pair. The best cannula pair was a 19-Fr/18-cm arterial with a 17-Fr/50-cm venous cannula, where we observed an equal flow split and acceptable flow into the arterial cannula at a lower flow rate of 4 L/min. Conclusion: Our computational spreadsheet identifies the suitable cannula pairing set for correctly splitting the outlet blood flow into the arterial and venous return cannulas in a veno-venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation configuration without the use of external throttles. Several limitations were reported regarding fixed aortic impedance, central venous pressure and the types of cannulas tested; therefore, further studies are mandatory to confirm our findings

Abstract: Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation constitutes a complex support modality, and accurate monitoring is required. An ideal monitoring system should promptly detect ECMO malfunctions and provide real-time information to optimize the patient–machine interactions. We tested a new volumetric capnometer which enables continuous monitoring of membrane lung carbon dioxide removal (V′CO2ML), to help in estimating the oxygenator performance, in terms of CO2 removal and oxygenator dead space (VDsML). Methods: This study was conducted on nine pigs undergoing veno-arterial ECMO due to cardiogenic shock after induced acute myocardial infarction. The accuracy and reliability of the prototype of the volumetric capnometer (CO2RESET™, by Eurosets srl, Medolla, Italy) device was evaluated for V′CO2ML and VDsML measurements by comparing the obtained measurements from the new device to a control capnometer with the sweep gas values. Measurements were taken at five different levels of gas flow/blood flow ratio (0.5-1.5). Agreement between the corresponding measurements was taken with the two methods. We expected that 95% of differences were between d − 1.96s and d + 1.96s. Results: In all, 120 coupled measurements from each device were obtained for the V′CO2ML calculation and 40 for the VDsML. The new capnometer mean percentage bias (95% confidence interval limits of agreement) was 3.86% (12.07-4.35%) for V′CO2ML and 2.62% (8.96-14.20%) for VDsML. A negative proportional bias for V′CO2ML estimation with the new device was observed with a mean of 3.86% (12.07-4.35%). No correlations were found between differences in the coupled V′CO2ML and VDsML measurements and the gas flow/blood flow ratio or temperature. Coupled measurements for V′CO2ML showed strong correlation (rs = 0.991; p = 0.0005), as did VDsML calculations (rs = 0.973; p = 0.0005). Conclusion: The volumetric capnometer is reliable for continuous monitoring of CO2 removal by membrane lung and VDsML calculations. Further studies are necessary to confirm these data.

Abstract: The use of extracorporeal life support devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adults requires cannulation of the patient's vessels with comparatively large diameter cannulae to allow circulation of large volumes of blood (>5 L/min). The cannula diameter and length are the major determinants for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flow. Manufacturing companies present pressure-flow charts for the cannulae; however, these tests are performed with water. Aims of this study were 1. to investigate the specified pressure-flow charts obtained when using human blood as the circulating medium and 2. to support extracorporeal membrane oxygenation providers with pressure-flow data for correct choice of the cannula to reach an optimal flow with optimal hydrodynamic performance. Eighteen extracorporeal membrane oxygenation drainage cannulae, donated by the manufacturers (n = 6), were studied in a centrifugal pump driven mock loop. Pressure-flow properties and cannula features were described. The results showed that when blood with a hematocrit of 27% was used, the drainage pressure was consistently higher for a given flow (range 10%-350%) than when water was used (data from each respective manufacturer's product information). It is concluded that the information provided by manufacturers in line with regulatory guidelines does not correspond to clinical performance and therefore may not provide the best guidance for clinicians. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
