Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and survival outcomes of a multidisciplinary extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) program at a university hospital in Spain over a four-year period.
- The research analyzed data from 54 adult patients who received ECPR, noting that 16 patients (29.6%) were alive after 180 days, with 15 showing good neurological outcomes.
- The results suggest that implementing an ECPR program is practical and can result in favorable survival rates and potential organ donation opportunities in a specialized medical center.
Severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may require prolonged (>28 d) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In nonresolving disease, recovery is uncertain, and lung transplant may be proposed. This study aims to identify the variables influencing survival and to describe the functional status of these patients at 6 months.

Methods: A prospective, nationwide, multicentre cohort study in a national ICU network of 80 ICUs. ICU patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours and EN the first 7 days of their ICU stay were included.
Article Synopsis
- * The ECMO setup can change how drugs are processed in the body, which can affect the success of antibiotic treatments.
- * This report discusses a study on how cefiderocol, a new antibiotic that works well against multidrug-resistant bacteria, behaves in the body of a critically ill patient on ECMO.
The Bacteraemia Zero (BZ) Project was the first of the Zero Projects to be implemented in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), achieving a decrease in catheter-related infection rates below those recommended by the quality standards of scientific societies. Following the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in ICU, a significant increase in these infection rates has been observed. Increase in infection rates and the need to incorporate the best available evidence into clinical practice justifies the need to update the recommendations of the BZ project.
