Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rapidly emerging advanced life support technique used in cardiorespiratory failure refractory to other treatments. There has been an influx in the number of studies relating to ECMO in recent years, as the technique becomes more popular. However, there are still significant gaps in the literature including complications and their impacts and methods to predict their development. This review evaluates the available literature on the complications of ECMO postcardiotomy in the pediatric population. Areas explored include renal, cardiovascular, hematological, infection, neurological, and hepatic complications. Incidence, risk factors and potential predictors, and scoring systems for the development of these complications have been evaluated.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate incidence and predictors of weaning failure and in-hospital death after successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods And Results: Overall, 685 patients with CS treated with VA-ECMO from 23 tertiary care centres in 7 countries were analysed (median age 57 [interquartile range 49-66] years, 542 [79.1%] male, median lactate 7.

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a potentially lethal disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, thus making the diagnosis hard to depict. In cases where acute circulatory failure occurs venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is a valid management strategy, especially in the pediatric and adult patients. This study aims to report the results of VA ECMO for FM in our Institution.

Background And Objectives: The optimal management of high-risk and intermediate-high-risk Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a matter of ongoing debate. This paper aims to assess the short and long-term clinical outcomes associated with different treatment approaches for high-risk and intermediate-high-risk PE within an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and identify potential areas for improvement.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to an ICU with high and intermediate-high-risk PE between January 2018 and December 2023.

Background: Lung ultrasound scoring is a validated tool for assessing lung pathology. However, existing scoring systems typically overlook the size of consolidations, limiting their accuracy in certain clinical scenarios.
Case Presentation: We describe the first application of adding the maximum consolidation depth in centimeters (cm) to the conventional score.
