ECMO Open Book — Chapter Tracker

Published 6 Sep 2026. Completes Part I. Three verified sources (Simons 2024 Perfusion; Parker 2023 Sci Rep; Brasseur 2018 JTD) plus four project texts. Audit correction: the ELSO Red Book text in the project library states '1 Fr = 3 mm', which is wrong; chapter uses the correct 3 Fr = 1 mm and flags the discrepancy. States explicitly that no randomised comparison of ECMO configurations exists. Cannula technique deferred to Ch 5/12; hybrids in depth to Ch 78; ECCO2R to Ch 53.

Published 6 Sep 2026. Open item: CESAR DOI/PMID flagged [VERIFICATION REQUIRED] — publisher and PubMed pages blocked during the search cycle; results transcribed from a published trial summary. Re-verify against the original Lancet 2009 paper. ELSO general guidelines still v1.4 (Aug 2017); adult cardiac guidance (Aug 2021) predates ECLS-SHOCK.

Published 6 Sep 2026. Mostly mechanistic content; two cited sources (Ronco 1993 JAMA; Tomarchio 2024 Perfusion) both fully verified. Numerical audit corrected the VO2 index range to 120-130 mL/min/m2 for internal consistency with ~200-250 mL/min. Lieberman critical-DO2-in-conscious-humans study could not be retrieved (Europe PMC rate limiting) and is deliberately not cited. Deliberately does not repeat the CaO2 arithmetic from Ch 1; VA haemodynamics deferred to Ch 13.
