Recuerda q #AZTREONAM es un ATB q va a “contra corriente” 🐧con la mayoría de los #Blactamicos
- SOLO CUBRE Gram Negativos Aerobios, NO LO USES 🙅🏻en Monoterapia si sospechas G➕ y/o anaerobios 🟣💩
- Útil si alergia a #Blactamicos (NO si #ceftazidima o #cefiderocol)
Wow—this is an amazing, comprehensive review! 🤩
They explore the origin and history behind the names of virtually every antibacterial and antifungal.

Loss of pulsatility after #ECPR?
🔎 221 pts (2011 - 2024), high volume ECMO center
🖥️ loss of pulsatility = any documented PP = 0 during first 12 h after #ECMO
🖥️ at least 1️⃣ episode occurred in nearly 50% of patients. They had:
⚖️ higher proportion of #OHCA + longer CA-to-ECMO
⚖️ higher in-hospital mortality; each additional hour of loss of pulsatility increased risk of death

Simple monitoring strategy to help recognizing readiness for weaning during peripheral VA-ECMO??
🖥️ bilateral radial A-lines: pressure concordance (left–right SBP difference < 10 mmHg, small MAP/DBP differences, similar waveform amplitude/morphology) + concordant ABG values = similar arterial blood source?
🖥️ strong association with LVOT VTI meeting threshold used for weaning assessment
Emergence of left radial pulsatility + bilateral radial pressure-gas concordance may serve as low-invasive, real-time bedside marker to facilitate early recognition of cardiac recovery, prompting formal #POCUS assessment (rather than stand-alone marker).

✅️ VA-ECMO increases LV afterload due to retrograde flow and may leads to ↑ LVEDP, ↑ PCWP, and risk of pulmonary edema
✅️ PCWP may rises with increasing ECMO flow - consider unloading, especially in: LV dilation, significant MR, preserved RV function, elevated CVP

The global oxygen delivery (DO2) formula - critical to understanding and approaching “big sick” patients
This was something I learnt very early on in my clinical perfusion career and one of the first things I teach trainees and students - whether the pump is the native heart or extracorporeal pump, the principle is the same
🚨 Just published! We validated an ultrasound-based score combining VExUS + LUS to guide decongestion in acute heart failure. A step forward toward more precise, ultrasound-driven management. Proud of our team! Congrats Henrique!

🔮 future directions: precision deployment and #AI #ECMO assisted CPR powerful intervention, capable of rescuing patients from refractory cardiac arrest, but its effectiveness is critically dependent on (unforgiving) temporal constraints. Achieving extracorporeal blood flow ideally within 45' of collapse, before irreversible ischemic injury, requires a tightly organized/high-performing systems. The ultimate objective is not simply to expand access to #ECLS, but to ensure that every eligible patient receives timely reperfusion. @ResusJournal
