The The ISHLT infection definitions for #MCS... appropriate for #ECMO?? Be cautious & consider: 🍄 most common fungi that cause BSIs in #ECLS are Candida species, which grow readily in most culture systems; if no risk of disseminated endemic fungal infections only obtain

Consumptive coagulopathy on #ECMO: 🔎 close monitoring & follow up pivotal ⛔️ giving platelets/factors to fix numbers often worsens underlying process 🩸low doses of anticoagulants may protect both circuit (vs thrombotic complications) & patient (vs bleeding & thrombosis)
