| 2 | Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients with sepsis and septic shock: Why, how, when, and for whom显示文摘Sepsis and septic shock remain the leading causes of death in intensive care units.Some patients with sepsis fail to respond to routine treatment and rapidly progress to refractory respiratory and circulatory failure,necessitating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO).However,the role of ECMO in adult patients with sepsis has not been fully established.According to existing studies,ECMO may be a viable salvage therapy in carefully selected adult patients with sepsis.The choice of venovenous,venoarterial,or hybrid ECMO modes is primarily determined by the patient’s oxygenation and hemodynamics(distributive shock with preserved cardiac output,septic cardiomyopathy(left,right,or biventricular heart failure),or right ventricular failure caused by acute respiratory distress syndrome).Veno-venous ECMO can be used in patients with sepsis and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome when conventional mechanical ventilation fails,and early application of veno-arterial ECMO in patients with sepsis-induced refractory cardiogenic shock may be critical in improving their chances of survival.When ECMO is indicated,the choice of an appropriate mode and determination of the optimal timing of initiation and weaning are critical,particularly in an experienced ECMO center.Furthermore,some special issues,such as ECMO flow,anticoagulation,and antibiotic therapy,should be noted during the management of ECMO support. | Hongling Zhang Youdong Xu Xin Huang Shunyin Yang Ruiting Li Yongran Wu Xiaojing Zou Yuan Yu You Shang | 2024 | Journal of Intensive Medicine2024，4，1： | 0 |
