Article Synopsis
- The study examined the incidence of hemorrhage and thrombosis in pediatric patients on anticoagulation-free ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) for periods over 6 hours.
- It involved a retrospective cohort analysis of 35 patients with a median age of 13.5 months and found that thrombotic events were uncommon, with only 8% experiencing them during the anticoagulation-free period.
- The results suggest that ECMO can be safely conducted without systemic anticoagulation in select patients, but further multicenter research is needed to understand the impact of factors like age, weight, and ECMO flow rates.

Article Synopsis
- * In 2020, the center conducted high-fidelity simulation-based courses focused on ECMO, ensuring adherence to social distancing, with 115 medical professionals participating, mainly anesthesiologists and intensivists, many of whom had no prior ECMO experience.
- * Participants showed significant improvements in cognitive, behavioral, and technical skills related to ECMO management, with knowledge scores rising notably after the training, indicating the program's effectiveness in preparing healthcare
Systemic Hypertension in Pediatric Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

June 2021
From the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.
Systemic hypertension (HTN) is a recognized complication of veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children. We sought to determine the prevalence and associated features of HTN in a retrospective cohort of children (>1 year old) supported with VV ECMO from January 2015 to July 2019 at our institution. Patient and ECMO-related characteristics were reviewed, including intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), ECMO duration, corticosteroids and nephrotoxic medication exposure, acute kidney injury (AKI), overall fluid balance, and transfusion data.
