The superiority of veno-arterial over veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for operative support of lung transplantation.

BMC Pulm Med

January 2025

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, 610072, China.

Background: Veno-arterial (V-A) and veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are crucial support modalities during lung transplantation, yet their comparative effectiveness remains unclear.

Methods: We conducted an 8-year retrospective analysis of 62 lung transplant recipients who received intraoperative ECMO (29 V-A, 33 V-V). Baseline characteristics, surgical parameters, and clinical outcomes were compared.

Acute cardiovascular disorders are incriminated in up to 33% of maternal deaths, and the presence of sickle cell anemia (SCA) aggravates the risk of peripartum complications. Herein, we present a 24-year-old Caribbean woman with known SCA who developed a vaso-occlusive crisis at 36 weeks of gestation that required emergency Cesarean section. In the early postpartum period, she experienced fever with rapid onset of acute respiratory distress in the context of COVID-19 infection that required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory support with broad-spectrum antibiotics and blood exchange transfusion.

Introduction: No clear guidelines exist for unfractionated heparin (UFH) monitoring in adult patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) for refractory cardiogenic shock. In this study, we sought to compare outcomes between anti-factor Xa (FXa) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) strategies for UFH monitoring during VA-ECLS.

Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective review of VA-ECLS patients who received UFH in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit between July 2019 and November 2023.

Spinal Cord Injury Following Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Scoping Review.

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth

November 2024

Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Indianapolis, IN. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a serious but uncommon complication that can occur in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO), which is used for treating cardiogenic shock.
  • A review of literature and new cases showed that out of 30 adults studied, most experienced paraplegia or weakness in the lower limbs, with MRI confirming spinal damage in nearly all cases.
  • Currently, there is no effective treatment for SCI in these patients, emphasizing the importance of prevention strategies that require further investigation.

Inferior vena cava thrombosis in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case series and literature review.

BMC Anesthesiol

November 2024

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 1277 Jiefang Avenue, Wuhan , Hubei, 430022, China.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is mainly used for support of patients with cardiopulmonary collapse. The increasing use of ECMO has shown promising outcomes; however, it still carries the risk of significant complications. Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is an underestimated complication.
