Kinetics of sevoflurane vaporized directly in #ECMO membrane lung  🔬ex-vivo trials using circuits primed with Ringer’s lactate; sevoflurane vaporized at concentrations of 1–8% with SGF of 1–10 L/min.  💨 sevoflurane effectively crossed PMP membranes, rapidly reaching reproducible peak concentrations to values consistent with clinical targets for deep sedation; clearance increased significantly with higher SGF  ⚠️ environmental concentrations well below occupational safety thresholds  Delivering sevoflurane vaporized directly into ECMO circuits feasible/safe alternative sedative strategy. These results provide a robust foundation for translating this into pilot clinical trial aimed at optimizing ECMO sedation with inhaled sevoflurane in patients with severe ARDS. 🔓 rdcu.be/fk2xq
