Simulation training for crises during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) education, in particular with regards to crisis management during the provision of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO), is challenging due to its intrinsic characteristics-a complex, high risk, low volume clinical activity which requires dynamic decision making, interdisciplinary ...

Secondary sclerosing cholangitis in patients suffering cardiogenic shock
Abstract Aims Cardiogenic shock (CS) patients suffer from severe organ hypoperfusion, yet the incidence of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients (SSC‐CIP) in CS is poorly described. Given the limited evidence and severity of this syndrome, we aimed to further investigate SSC‐CIP in the context of CS.

Regional outbreak of parvovirus B19 acute myocarditis in preschool children
We recently came across an outbreak of parvovirus B19 related acute myocarditis in preschool children in a specific region in northern Greece. The children exhibited serious morbidity and mortality. All children had very poor left ventricular ejection fraction and required inotropic intensive care unit support.
