Core Tip

Core Tip: This study evaluates the efficacy of adsorptive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) (ECMO combined with HA380 hemoperfusion column) in reducing inflammatory burden in cardiogenic shock patients. Our single-center retrospective study (n = 78) demonstrates that adsorptive ECMO efficiently clears pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6: 94.4% reduction at 72 hours; tumour necrosis factor alpha: 70.1% reduction) and improves hemodynamics, including shorter ECMO duration (114 vs 141 hours, P = 0.046) and higher weaning success rate (66.7% vs 38.5%, P = 0.013).
