How the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix 2022 Mass Gathering Event Compares to the Arbon Model: A Descriptive Study.

Objective: To describe the health-care resources implemented during the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix (F1GP) and to calculate the patient presentation rate (PPR) based on both real data and a prediction model.

Methods: Observational and descriptive study conducted from September 9 to September 11, 2022, during the Italian F1GP hosted in Monza (Italy). Maurer's formula was applied to decide the number and type of health resources to be allocated.

Regional thrombolysis with tenecteplase during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a new approach for left ventricular thrombosis.

We present the case of a woman assisted with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (v-a ECMO) for postischemic cardiogenic shock, who developed left ventricular thrombosis despite systemic anticoagulation and left ventricular apical venting. We successfully achieved local thrombolysis with tenecteplase administered through the venting cannula to obtain local thrombolysis while reducing systemic effects to a minimum. The procedure was effective with mild systemic bleeding and the patient was successfully weaned off the extracorporeal support a few days thereafter.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to support adult patients with cardiac failure: predictive factors of 30-day mortality.

Adult patients supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are very sick and many complications are often present in each single patient; therefore, it is not always easy to find some risk factors that can predict the early outcome. This retrospective study reports our experience in ECMO support treatment in adult cardiac patients suffering from cardiac failure (CF) in which one or more predictive factors of 30-day mortality were analyzed. Between January 2002 and August 2009, 42 consecutive adult cardiac patients with cardiogenic shock (mean age 64.
