#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
#ELSO2025 DAY 2 initiated here in Oxon Hill with breakfast meetings!! ☕️ Directors Meeting, with President Daniel Brodie, President Elect Peta Alexander, and CEO Christine Stead ☕️ Coordinators Meeting, with Erin August, Coordinator Liaison
At #ELSO2025 we also had today 🏆 hands-on demonstration, cannulation cup and to the escape room
& more… All at 36th Annual ELSO Conference Don’t forget 🎥talks will be available for replay after meeting for registered attendees + virtual participants (details will be provided)
#ELSO2025 conference started with DAY 1 Plenary Brief summary with pics 📸 🚑 Simstration: #OHCA#ECPR demonstration 🌎 One world, one mission: session with ELSO Chapter chairs 📚 Year in review breakouts sessions on cardiac/respiratory support, ECPR, #transplantation, #PedsICU
A career in #ECMO 🎤 Prof Annich just gave inaugural Bartlett Lecture at #ELSO2025 "Using artificial organs for life support has grown from an idea to standard practice [...]. It will be fascinating to see where we will be 60 yr from now". Most of Dr B prophecies have been fulfilled. 🔓 bit.ly/4gNamiH
#ECPR demonstration at #ELSO2025!! With Joyce Wald, Jason Bartos, Thomas Mueller, Phillip Mason Despite all commitment mortality still high, and strain on all involved is very heavy... Currently, ECPR for OHCA cannot (yet?) be considered standard of care: let's shape the future!
