Rationale: For veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the femoral artery is the preferred cannulation site (femoro-femoral: Vf-Af). This results in retrograde aortic flow, which increases the left ventricular afterload and can lead to severe pulmonary edema and thrombosis of the cardiac chambers. Right axillary artery cannulation (femoral-axillary: Vf-Aa) provides partial anterograde aortic flow, which may prevent some complications.

Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 364 patients, 66.5% experienced poor functional outcomes after one year, with a significant portion (52.2%) having died, while age, comorbidities, initial coma score, and stroke type were key factors linked to worse outcomes.
  • * Notably, delays in starting mechanical ventilation after stroke diagnosis appeared to improve survival chances, and over half of the survivors reported ongoing physical and mental health issues one year later.

Unlabelled: Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the main tools for diagnosis and prognostication of encephalopathy. Our two objectives were to assess: 1) the reliability of intensivists' interpretations (one trained intensivist and nonexpert intensivists) on specific EEG patterns and 2) the feasibility of performing simplified EEG by a trained intensivist in ICU.

Design: Prospective, single-center study.

Objectives: Cardiac surgery increasingly is being performed in patients with a history of or with active cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between a history of cancer and 1-year mortality after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Design: An observational monocentric study, with data collected from a prospective institutional database was conducted.

Background: Heterogeneity in sepsis expression is multidimensional, including highly disparate data such as the underlying disorders, infection source, causative micro-organismsand organ failures. The aim of the study is to identify clusters of patients based on clinical and biological characteristic available at patients' admission.

Methods: All patients included in a national prospective multicenter ICU cohort OUTCOMEREA and admitted for sepsis or septic shock (Sepsis 3.
