Japanese approach to #ECMO in elderly & super-elderly, Kazuki Matsumura: age alone should not be considered a contraindication!
#ELSO2025 4/4

#ECMO for patients with cancer, @schellongowski.bsky.social Anything to be worried about? To miss the "right" patient who might profit from ECMO or to prolong death in case of futility.
#ECLS for trauma, V Sams: lot of possible indications, even if bleeding (also if brain bleedings)
#ELSO2025 3/4

🛌 With a little bit of mythbusting on selection criteria and decision making to initiate #ECMO at the bedside:
- Trisomy 18, P Alexander: there is no ethical justifications for universal, principle-based differential treatment based solely on genetic diagnoses
#ELSO2025 2/4

⚖️ Ethics & ECMO at #ELSO2025: is everyone an #ECLS candidate? Panel discussion with Jonah Rubin, MD, Roxanne Kirsch, Benjamin Wilfond, Whitney Gannon, Graeme MacLaren. We should move away from rigid criteria, toward a more holistic approach and balancing risks/benefits for selected patient & setting

Lessons from the legends at #ELSO2025: the original #ECMO candidates, by Pearl O'Rourke, Billie Lou Short, Jay Zwischenberger, Glenn Whitman
