Why the study?
Few reliable tools exist to predict successful weaning outcomes in patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock.
Do higher Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index (PAPi) and Radial Artery Pulse Pressure (rPP) predict successful weaning from VA-ECMO in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock?
Do higher Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index (PAPi) and Radial Artery Pulse Pressure (rPP) predict successful weaning from VA-ECMO in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock?
Higher PAPi and rPP are strong hemodynamic predictors of successful weaning from VA-ECMO in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock.
