🧫 Antimicrobial stewardship challenges in #ECMO? #ECLS patients present 3 unique key characteristics:
🗝️ indwelling cannulae
🗝️ #extracorporeal circuit
🗝️ higher severity-of-illness
An ECMO bundle focusing on cannula insertion/maintenance, minimizing circuit breaks, reducing other indwelling devices, shortening run duration could be part of a core strategy to minimize nosocomial infections in this population.

Here in beautiful Lisbon 🇵🇹... everything ready for #EuroELSO2023 EuroELSO annual congress! My schedule:
🎓 #simulation training during the joint EuroELSO & ESICM #ECLS workshop & during educational corners on #ECMO transport & #extracorporeal support in #sepsis
🎁 talk on normothermic regional perfusion in DCD donors (with some specific notes on children)
Co-moderating 2 really interesting sessions
🎤 Technology & innovation: what´s new in ...?
🎤 Pediatric ECMO - new horizons

Cerebrovascular complications of #COVID19 on VV #ECMO: study highlighting association of obesity & pre #ECLS vasopressor use with development of stroke in this cohort. Relative decrease in PaCO2 & moderate hyperoxia within 48 hours after #extracorporeal support initiation identified as additional risk factors. Close monitoring of hemodynamic and gas exchange pivotal.
