ECMO Neuro Monitoring

Multimodal Neurologic Monitoring in Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

This study investigates the safety and feasibility of noninvasive multimodal neurologic monitoring (MNM) in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center. The observational study spanned from January 2017 to February 2019 and included patients undergoing ECMO. Results showed that MNM was safe and feasible, with no adverse events reported. Specific EEG and transcranial Doppler (TCD) findings were identified that could help in early detection of neurologic deterioration. MNM may aid in monitoring, prognostication, and clinical decision-making for ECMO patients.

A Modified Low-Priming Cardiopulmonary Bypass System in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Medium Risk of Transfusion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study evaluates the FUWAI-SAVE system, a modified low-priming cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system, in reducing perioperative blood transfusions in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with intermediate transfusion risk. Conducted as a single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled trial, 360 patients were divided into an intervention group (FUWAI-SAVE) and a control group (conventional CPB). Results showed the FUWAI-SAVE system significantly reduced red blood cell transfusion rates and amounts during the peri-CPB period without increasing major complications, indicating its potential in improving blood management in cardiac surgery.
