Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support in Acute Heart Failure
Author(s): Federica Jiritano , Valeria Lo Coco , Matteo Matteucci , et al Added: 3 years ago
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a circulatory failure as a consequence of left, right or biventricular dysfunction.1 It leads to critical end-organ hypoperfusion due to primary cardiac dysfunction.1 Therefore, CS is not only a cardiac disease but also a multiorgan dysfunction syndrome involving the entire circulatory system, often complicated by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome.2 The goals of… View more

The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in patients with advanced heart failure is well established; they make up 90% of all implanted continuous flow ventricular assist devices (VADs).1 In advanced heart failure, they are superior to medical therapy alone,1 with improvements demonstrated in survival, quality of life and functional status in carefully selected patients.2,3 Although… View more

Shock in cardio-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients is a serious condition associated with a high morbidity and mortality.1,2 Prompt identification of the underlying condition and timely therapeutic interventions are key to reverse the shock state and to improve the patients’ outcome. Hence, the management during the first 6 hours is of paramount importance. This time period is also… View more

Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Complicates the Exercise Physiology of Oxygen Transport and Uptake in Heart Failure
Author(s): Erik H Van Iterson Added: 3 years ago
The maximal exercise oxygen uptake (VO2 max) response physiologically reflects the clinical status of patients with low-output left heart failure (HF). The failure of VO2 max to rise above 12 ml/kg/min is a hallmark of deteriorated clinical status, impaired oxidative metabolic capacity and indicates advanced medical therapy is required to prolong life.1,2 The continuous-flow left ventricular… View more

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Coronavirus Disease 2019-associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: An Initial US Experience at a High-volume Centre
Author(s): Yang Yang , Aniket S Rali , Christian Inchaustegui , et al Added: 3 years ago
Dear Editor, The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as salvage therapy in the most severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been associated with reduced mortality, particularly at high-volume centres. We report a case series of seven patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated ARDS treated with ECMO. In select COVID-19 patients suffering… View more

High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation Revisited in COVID-19
Author(s): Aniket S Rali , Krishidhar R Nunna , Christopher Howard , et al Added: 3 years ago
Dear Editor, As of 31 March 2020, the Centers for Disease Control has reported a total of 163,593 confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and 2,860 COVID-19-related deaths in the US. According to several public health predictive models, these numbers are expected to continue to rise in the upcoming weeks, leading to a nationwide shortage of hospital beds and especially intensive care… View more
