Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and can be triggered by severe illness or preexisting conditions. It is debated if AF is an independent predictor of poor outcome. METHODS Data derives from a single center retrospective registry including all patients with a stay on the medical ICU for >24 h. The primary endpoint was ICU survival. Secondary endpoints included receiving mechanical support (renal, respiratory or circulatory), hemodynamic parameters during AF, rate and rhythm control strategies, anticoagulation, and documentation. RESULTS A total of 616 patients (male gender 62.3%, median age 75 years) were included in our analysis. New-onset AF was diagnosed in 87 patients (14.1%), 136 (22.1%) presented with preexisting AF, and 393 (63.8%) did not develop AF. Initial episodes of new-onset AF exhibited higher hemodynamic instability than episodes in preexisting cases, with elevated heart rates and increased catecholamine doses (both p < 0.001). ICU survival in new-onset AF was 80.5% (70/87) compared to 92.4% (363/393) in patients without AF (OR 0.340, CI 0.182-0.658, p < 0.001). Likewise, ICU survival in preexisting AF was 86.8% (118/136) was significantly lower compared to no AF (OR 0.542, CI 0.290-0.986, p = 0.050*). Independent predictors of ICU survival for patients were atrial fibrillation (p = 0.016), resuscitation before or during ICU stay (p < 0.001), and receiving acute dialysis on ICU (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS ICU survival is noticeably lower in patients with new-onset or preexisting atrial fibrillation compared to those without. Patients who develop new-onset AF during their ICU stay warrant special attention for both short-term and long-term care strategies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hemodynamic response after successful extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is very heterogeneous. Pulse pressure (PP) as an easy to access surrogate parameter and correlate for myocardial damage or recovery from it, might be a valuable tool to estimate the outcome of these patients.
Purpose
To investigate the predictive value of the surrogate parameter PP in eCPR patients.
Methods
We report retrospective data of a single-centre registry of eCPR patients, treated at our Interdisciplinary Medical Intensive Care Unit between 01/2017 and 01/2020. The association between PP of the first 10 days after eCPR and hospital survival was investigated. Moreover, patients were divided into three groups according to their PP (low (0–9 mmHg), mid (10–29 mmHg) and high (≥30 mmHg)) at each time point.
Results
143 patients (age 63 years, 74.1% male, 40% OHCA, average low flow time 49 min) were analysed. Overall hospital survival rate was 28%. A low PP both early after eCPR (after 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours) and in the further course after day 1 to day 8 was associated with reduced hospital survival. At each time point (1 hour to day 5) the classification of patients into a low, mid and high PP group was able to categorize the patients for a low (5–20%), moderate (20–40%) and high (50–70%) survival rate. A multivariable analysis showed that the mean PP of the first 24 hours was an independent predictor for survival (p=0.008, figure 1).
Conclusion
In this analysis, PP occurred to be a valuable parameter to estimate survival and maybe support clinical decision making in the further course of patients after eCPR.

Abstract
Objective To date, no biomarkers have been established to predict haematological complications and outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of a panel of microRNAs (miRNAs), which are promising biomarkers in many clinical fields, in patients before and after initiating ECMO. Methods Serum miRNA levels from 14 patients hospitalized for acute respiratory failure and supported with ECMO in our medical intensive care unit were analysed before and 24 hours after ECMO. In total, 179 serum-enriched miRNAs were profiled by using a real-time PCR panel. For validation, differentially expressed miRNAs were individually quantified with conventional real-time quantitative PCR at 0, 24, and 72 hours. Results Under ECMO support, platelet count significantly decreased by 65 × 103/µL (25th percentile = 154.3 × 103/µL; 75th percentile = 33 × 103/µL). Expression of the 179 miRNAs investigated in this study did not change significantly throughout the observational period. Conclusions According to our data, the expression of serum miRNAs was not altered by ECMO therapy itself. We conclude that ECMO does not limit the application of miRNAs as specific clinical biomarkers for the patients’ underlying disease.
