Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.
