Current and future strategies to monitor and manage coagulation in ECMO patients
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can provide life-saving support for critically ill patients suffering severe respiratory and/or cardiac failure. However, thrombosis and bleeding remain common and complex problems to manage.

Background: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation free, lung imaging technique of lung ventilation with a low spatial but a high temporal resolution available at the bedside. Lung perfusion, and hence ventilation-to-perfusion

Physiological and clinical significance of mean circulatory and mean systemic filling pressure
A pressure distends blood vessels even when the heart is not beating and there is no blood flow. This is called mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP). We will first discuss why it is physiologically necessary to have this base pressure.

Applied physiology at the bedside: using invasive blood pressure as a true monitoring tool
Invasive arterial blood pressure (BP) monitoring is a cornerstone of hemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients. This review explores how the individual components of BP—systolic arterial (SAP), diastolic arterial (DAP), mean arterial (MAP), and ...

Ultrasound indicators of organ venous congestion: a narrative review
Acute kidney injury and other organ dysfunction in the setting of heart failure are primarily determined by a low cardiac output status and venous congestion, which is a sequence of increases in heart filling pressures.

Background: Cell therapy with bone marrow (BM)-derived progenitors has emerged as a promising therapeutic for refractory angina (RA) patients. In the present study, we evaluated the safety and preliminary efficacy of transcatheter delivery of autologous BM-derived advanced therapy medicinal product CD133 + cells (ATMP-CD133) in RA patients, correlating

Background: We aimed to investigate the role of hypercoagulability on the risk of lifetime cardiovascular recurrences after myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke. Methods: Young women (< 50 years) with either myocardial infarction (n = 197) or ischaemic stroke (n = 107) were followed between 1995 and 2012 in the RATIO follow-up study.

Background: The burden of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is increasing in women, with recent evidence suggesting gender differences in disease characteristics and potentially in treatment outcomes. Methods: FLAME was a 52-week randomized controlled trial in patients with severe-to-very-severe COPD and a history of exacerbations.
