SCCM Pod-507 PCCM: Pediatric Neurologic Challenges Unveiled

Host Maureen A. Madden, DNP, RN, CPNP-AC, CCRN, FCCM, FAAN, is joined by Dr. Lakshmi Raman, MD, to explore critical insights into pediatric ECMO and other topics associate with the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine article "Early Changes in Arterial Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide and Blood Pressure After Starting Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Children: Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Database Study of Neurologic Complications."

Concise Critical Appraisal: Timing of Prone Positioning During Venovenous ECMO for ARDS

This Concise Critical Appraisal explores a meta-analysis showing that prone positioning is beneficial for patients meeting criteria for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), especially when initiated within five days after ECMO initiation. When initiated within five days, patients had lower intensive care unit (ICU) mortality rates, higher likelihood of being discharged alive, shorter ECMO duration, and cumulative 90-day probability of being discharged from the ICU.
