Article Synopsis
- - This year’s "The Year in Cardiothoracic Critical Care" highlights significant articles published in 2023 that impact critical care anesthesiology practices.
- - Key studies include findings on organ donation after circulatory death, blood administration's immune response in lung transplant patients, and the unnecessary use of antiplatelet therapy in Heartmate 3 patients.
- - The review also discusses outcomes of extracorporeal CPR and challenges the need for tight glycemic control in ICU settings, indicating that these topics will continue to be researched in the future.
Background And Objectives: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a method of life support for either isolated cardiac failure or respiratory failure, with or without cardiac failure. When used for hemodynamic support, the ECMO circuit presents a non-endothelialized, artificial surface to blood inciting an inflammatory response which activates haemostatic pathways. Anticoagulation may complicate a pre-existing coagulopathy and/or inadequate surgical hemostasis of varying severity.
