Update on ECMO for COVID-19 Weaning - V-A ECMO with Cardiogenic Shock Recombinant Activ. Factor VII

Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Department of CV Surgery: Faculty Forum
Update on ECMO for COVID-19: What have we learned?
Faculty: J. Hoffman, MD, Matt Warhoover, CCP, A. Lepore, CCP
 Tammy Sparacino Journal Club:
Early experience of pump-controlled retrograde trial off for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) in adult patients with cardiogenic shock.
Pump-controlled retrograde trial off has recently been introduced as an effective method for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric patients.
However, studies on pump-controlled retrograde trial off in adults are still lacking. Thus, this study aimed to examine the outcomes of pump-controlled retrograde trial off for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients.
