Veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used to support patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In case of additional cardio-circulatory failure, some experienced centers upgrade the V-V ECMO with an additional arterial return cannula (termed V-VA ECMO). Here we analyzed short- and long-term outcome together with potential predictors of mortality.
Multicenter, retrospective analysis between January 2008 and September 2021.
Three tertiary care ECMO centers in Germany (Hannover, Bonn) and Switzerland (Zurich).
Seventy-three V-V ECMO patients with ARDS and additional acute cardio-circulatory deterioration required an upgrade to V-VA ECMO were included in this study.
Fifty-three patients required an upgrade from V-V to V-VA and 20 patients were directly triple cannulated. Median (Interquartile Range) age was 49 (28-57) years and SOFA score was 14 (12-17) at V-VA ECMO upgrade. Vasoactive-inotropic score decreased from 53 (12-123) at V-VA ECMO upgrade to 9 (3-37) after 24 h of V-VA ECMO support. Weaning from V-VA and V-V ECMO was successful in 47 (64%) and 40 (55%) patients, respectively. Duration of ECMO support was 12 (6-22) days and ICU length of stay was 32 (16-46) days. Overall ICU mortality was 48% and hospital mortality 51%. Two additional patients died after hospital discharge while the remaining patients survived up to two years (with six patients being lost to follow-up). The vast majority of patients was free from higher degree persistent organ dysfunction at follow-up. A SOFA score > 14 and higher lactate concentrations at the day of V-VA upgrade were independent predictors of mortality in the multivariate regression analysis.
In this analysis, the use of V-VA ECMO in patients with ARDS and concomitant cardiocirculatory failure was associated with a hospital survival of about 50%, and most of these patients survived up to 2 years. A SOFA score > 14 and elevated lactate levels at the day of V-VA upgrade predict unfavorable outcome.
静脉-静脉(V-V)体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)越来越多地用于支持重症急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)患者。在出现额外的心循环衰竭时,一些经验丰富的中心会通过增加一根动脉回流插管(称为V-VA ECMO)来升级V-V ECMO。在此,我们分析了短期和长期结局以及死亡的潜在预测因素。
2008年1月至2021年9月期间的多中心回顾性分析。
德国(汉诺威、波恩)和瑞士(苏黎世)的三个三级医疗ECMO中心。
本研究纳入了73例患有ARDS且伴有急性心循环恶化而需要升级为V-VA ECMO的V-V ECMO患者。
53例患者需要从V-V升级为V-VA,20例患者直接进行了三腔插管。在升级为V-VA ECMO时,中位(四分位间距)年龄为49(28-57)岁,序贯器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分是14(12-17)。血管活性药物-正性肌力药物评分从升级为V-VA ECMO时的53(12-123)降至V-VA ECMO支持24小时后的9(3-37)。分别有47例(64%)和40例(55%)患者成功撤离V-VA和V-V ECMO。ECMO支持时间为12(6-22)天,重症监护病房(ICU)住院时间为32(16-46)天。总体ICU死亡率为48%,医院死亡率为51%。另外2例患者在出院后死亡,其余患者存活长达两年(6例患者失访)。绝大多数患者在随访时无更严重的持续性器官功能障碍。在多变量回归分析中,V-VA升级当天SOFA评分>14以及乳酸浓度较高是死亡的独立预测因素。
在本分析中,ARDS合并心循环衰竭患者使用V-VA ECMO的医院生存率约为50%,且这些患者中的大多数存活长达2年。V-VA升级当天SOFA评分>14以及乳酸水平升高预示预后不良。
