TA #NRP in cDCD heart donors using closed #ECMO circuit, modified to provide
🩸🌡️effective NRP despite prolonged fWIT
🫀LV venting
🫀 fast conversion to central configuration as needed
⭕️ shunt for recirculation

TA-NRP using fully mobile, closed #ECLS circuit could be safe strategy to support combined thoracic/abdominal organs recovery also in peripheral centers without cardiac surgery program, contributing to the expansion of DCD programs, increasing availability/quality of grafts, improving recipients’ outcome. @ESOTtransplant @gabriel_oniscu @LuPoten @Unibo @AUSLRomagna

🫀🫁🫘 Sharing, Learning, Futuring at #SICCH2026 33° National Meeting of the Italian Society of Cardiac Surgery. Pleased to talk discuss about Normothermic Regional Perfusion #NRP and advanced strategies (old, new & upcoming) of in-situ & ex-situ organ perfusion & preservation in #Transplantation

📢 Results of "OnScene" trial, nationwide prehospital helicopter ECPR program in 🇳🇱, are out on @NEJM + have been just presented at #ReSS26
🚁 In young adults with refractory #OHCA who were attended by HEMS equipped to deliver prehospital #ECMO (intervention group, 144 patients) vs those attended by HEMS without ECPR capability (conventional group 87 patients), incorporating ECPR was associated with improved survival to discharge vs conventional care. In intervention group 40% survived until hospital discharge (vs 20%). At 6 months, a favourable neurologic outcome reported in 36% in the intervention group (vs 13%). Full results at

#POCUS guided iliohypogastric & ilioinguinal nerve blocks under light sedation to facilitate awake VA #ECMO + Impella cannulation in pediatric patients with nonpostcardiotomy cardiogenic shock
🔎 IhIG block placement in #PICU by anesthesia-trained intensivists + surgical awake #ECPella cannulation in the cath lab seems a feasible & safe in selected pts, avoiding high-risk invasive ventilation and general anesthesia, with adequate team preparation + multidisciplinary expertise.
