Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the reliability and effectiveness of the Swimmer Arm-to-Shoulder (SAS) test to differentiate between shoulder impingement and cervical radiculopathy in patients with shoulder pain lasting up to 12 weeks.
- In a sample of 718 patients, the SAS test showed high accuracy, with a sensitivity of 89.2% and specificity of 96.1%, effectively identifying the underlying causes of shoulder pain.
- The results concluded that the SAS test is a simple, dependable tool for both screening and confirming diagnoses related to shoulder and cervical spine conditions.
Background: Despite the advancements in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology, balancing the prevention of thrombosis and the risk of bleeding in patients on ECMO is still a significant challenge for physicians. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of viscoelastic point-of-care (POC)-guided coagulation management in adult patients on ECMO.
Methods: PubMed Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched.
We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of post-traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in young patients with and without Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. A retrospective analysis was conducted for trauma patients who developed ARDS at a level I trauma facility between 2014 and 2020. Data were analyzed and compared between ECMO and non-ECMO group.

Over the past decades, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved as an important adjunct in airway surgery. We presented three cases of traumatic tracheobronchial injury managed with ECMO support at a level-1 trauma center and emphasized the benefits of anticipation and early institution of ECMO support perioperatively, in these high-risk cases.
