Abstract Aims Drug‐refractory electrical storm (ES) is a life‐threatening medical emergency. We describe the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) in drug‐refractory ES without reversible trigger, for which specific guideline recommendations are still lacking. Methods and results Retrospective observational study four Iberian centres on indications, treatment, complications, outcome not associated with acute coronary syndromes, decompensated heart failure, drug...
High-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centers generally have better outcomes than (new) low-volume ECMO centers, most likely achieved by a suitable exposure to cases. To achieve higher level of training, simulation-based training (SBT) offers an additional option for education and extended clinical skills. SBT could also help improve the interdisciplinary team interactions. However, simulators and/or simulations (ECMO sims) techniques may vary in purpose. We present...
Patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support do frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, due to the high frequency of infection by multidrug resistant microorganisms. The circuit can alter pharmacokinetics (PK) administered drugs, and in case antibiotics this may lead treatment failure. Cefiderocol is a new cephalosporin that exhibits excellent vitro activity against many multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms, but there no published data about modifications its...
