Looking forward to an exciting conference on Cardiogenic Shock and engaging discussions with the thought leaders in this field. @tonkhueMdPhd @JumeanMarwan @aniket_rali and Katherine Wood. @AHN_CVI Join us this Saturday, at the Fairmont hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.

ECPR improves outcomes in refractory OHCA, but most patients never reach an ECMO center in time. 📍New systems are expanding access by initiating ECPR in the prehospital 🚑🚁 or non-ECMO center setting. But what happens after cannulation? 🧵👇 (1/5)

Milestone achievement! Dr. Candice Lee performed the 100th pulmonary thrombectomy to treat CTEPH. #CandiceLeeMD #AmreshRainaMD #HayahKassisGeorgeMD @barnes_kileigh @AHNtoday Read the full story: https://t.co/SMDVNg2w80

📢 Participate in a needs assessment survey to help develop a standardized curriculum for #ECPR! The @ELSOOrg team is developing a more comprehensive ECPR curriculum, and we need your input. We're looking to identify areas where your current educational needs aren't being fully

Excited to represent my program @AHNIMres and share our research on mental health outcome in ECMO survivors at #CHEST2025 as an oral presentation ! Grateful for all the support and guidance from the mentors at @AHNidccm @ahnpccm @PjTiberio @RealShanModi

Happy for the opportunity to collaborate with @manreetkanwar on an editorial in Circulation: Heart Failure— Survival isn’t the finish line: Most disability among VA-ECMO survivors emerges within the first 6 months post-cannulation — discharge is only the start of recovery!

Also, the @AHNtoday way lol @ranga1949 @tjvandyck @RealShanModi @AHN_CVI @AHNCVFellows, since you know, they used our ER to make this look so smooth. Thanks for the inspiration @DYannopoulos

Honor and a privilege to work with these folks. @ranga1949 @RealShanModi @tjvandyck @KhandelwalMD @AHN_CVI

@AHN_CVI @manreetkanwar @AdnanKhalifMD @ranga1949 @Raj__Ramanan @laertezz @JimMakinen @EMcshawCCM @ELSOOrg

Excited to publish our ambulatory protocol for pVA-ECMO and femoral IABP from @AHN_CVI Main Points: ⭐️ Ambulation is feasible and can improve prehabilitation for advanced therapies ⭐️ Multidisciplinary team required for success 🔓 https://t.co/jjQ2hU9WpN

Allegheny General Hospital, City of Pittsburgh EMS Join Forces to Introduce New Resuscitation Protocol for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Incidents @AHNtoday https://t.co/be9hO0wzDz

Shock transport by @RealShanModi Checklist: 1️⃣Pre-Transport: shock team, 1️⃣ person leads, only essentials 2️⃣Modality: 🚁 may not be the best choice, need training for MCS transport 3️⃣Facility: stay in contact, prep the room 4️⃣Follow-up: debrief with the transferring 🏥

Dysfunction in PMP #ECMO membrane lungs 🔎 retrospective analysis including 19 pts supported with 3 different MLs ⚙️ radial flow ML prone to higher resistance & lower post-ML PaO2 vs transverse 💨 no significant difference in O2 transfer 🖇️ https://t.co/xtXQuEijME

Comparative analysis of oxygenator dysfunction in PMP oxygenators 🫁 AMG, Nautilus Smart, Quadrox/Cardiohelp ⭐️No difference in O2 transfer ⭐️Radial flow ML have higher R to Q and lower Ppost-oxy O2 @RealShanModi @brandalo227 @FOAMecmo https://t.co/8FMwt6mxJS

We are so proud of the class of 2024 - they loved training so much that 11 of the 14 are going for more, with 5 of those in #CritCare Congratulations @Courtney_Kein @JoshFerreri @LEGillespie3 @Bron_Winning

The wave of the future is HEMS transport for ECPR— amazing work from the HEMS/ECMO expert @laertezz and the @TamingtheSRU alumni

See what researchers from @UPMC found when analyzing survival outcomes after concomitant use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and percutaneous microaxial assist device support for cardiogenic shock in #JTCVS Open: https://t.co/8ox6XgrtPS

A form of MCS frequently encountered both in-hospital and in the critical care transport environment: the intra-aortic balloon pump🫀🎈 In our @MyJSCAI article, we present the applications, physiology, practical troubleshooting, and transport specifics https://t.co/bcNHHOsZZ0

🚨VV ECMO candidacy decisions are not consistent! They generally should be. Just out in @journal_CHEST - the first output of the newly formed EC-YES international study group analyzing the quality of ECMO candidacy decision-making. 🧵 (1/7) https://t.co/SIJQkhPoYI

Amazing job @McKenzieSicke! Definitely highlights the needs to start discussions for advanced therapies early in any patient that has tMCS, especially those with pVADs
