Phosphorylcholine coating has a major role in the improvement of biocompatibility, durability and antihrombogenicity of the circuit for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Moreover, if heparin-induced thrombocytopenia ensues, removal of all the sources of heparin is challenging if the circuit is coated with heparin. We report our preliminary experience with the new EUROSETS A.L.ONE ECMO oxygenator (Eurosets, Medolla, MO, Italy), which is aimed at providing better biocompatibility thanks to its full coating with phosphorylcholine. We retrospectively collected data on the 16 patients supported with ECMO and with the EUROSETS A.L.ONE ECMO oxygenator at San Raffaele Hospital. Mean ECMO duration was 6 ± 4 days, and 37.5% of the patients died on ECMO. Four episodes of major bleeding and three episodes of minor bleeding were recorded. The oxygenator had an excellent performance in gas exchange and the median pressure drop was 57 (26-85) mmHg at full blood flow (2.5 L/m2/min). The EUROSETS A.L.ONE ECMO oxygenator was an excellent device in our preliminary experience. Further evaluation on a larger sample is encouraged.
磷酸胆碱涂层在改善体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)回路的生物相容性、耐用性和抗血栓形成性方面发挥着重要作用。此外,如果发生肝素诱导的血小板减少症,若回路涂有肝素,去除所有肝素来源具有挑战性。我们报告了使用新型EUROSETS A.L.ONE ECMO氧合器(意大利莫多拉市Eurosets公司)的初步经验,该氧合器因其全磷酸胆碱涂层旨在提供更好的生物相容性。我们回顾性收集了圣拉斐尔医院16例接受ECMO支持并使用EUROSETS A.L.ONE ECMO氧合器患者的数据。ECMO平均持续时间为6±4天,37.5%的患者在ECMO期间死亡。记录到4例大出血事件和3例小出血事件。该氧合器在气体交换方面表现出色,在全血流(2.5 L/m2/min)时中位压力降为57(26 - 85)mmHg。根据我们初步经验,EUROSETS A.L.ONE ECMO氧合器是一款出色的设备。鼓励对更大样本进行进一步评估。
