Shaping the Flow: Impact of Blade Shape on Performance and Hemocompatibility in Rotodynamic Blood Pumps

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Blade shapes (leading‐edge geometry and thickness) in rotodynamic blood pumps were systematically evaluated. Thinner blades improve pump efficiency by reducing blockage effects, while neither blade thickness nor leading‐edge geometry shows clear hemocompatibility benefits. Overall, blade shape has a limited impact on hemocompatibility, indicating it is

Intestinal Ischaemia and Perforation After Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Disease: An Autopsy Case. [PDF]

open access: yesRespirol Case Rep
A patient with an acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease developed a myocardial infarction, a pulmonary embolism and a fatal intestinal perforation after veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous haemodiafiltration. This autopsy case highlights the difficulty of balancing thrombosis and bleeding and the need for early ...

Troubleshooting Adult ECMO

open access: yesThe Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology, 2011
The following scenarios explore some of the common problems encountered during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in adults. In each scenario, the circuit is comprised of a centrifugal pump and a polymethylpentene oxygenator.

Paediatric Index of Mortality 3 in Sweden: Validation and Recalibration to Improve Mortality Prediction in Paediatric Intensive Care

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In Sweden, critically ill children are admitted to one of four dedicated paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) or general intensive care units (ICUs), reflecting a partly centralised system. The Paediatric Index of Mortality 3 (PIM3) is a widely used risk stratification tool for predicting mortality in critically ill children. This study

To be or not to be on ECMO: Can survival prediction models solve the question?

open access: yes, 2017
Over the past decade, there has been growing interest in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a rescue therapy for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and cardiogenic shock.

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...
