Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be a viable salvage therapy in selected patients with septic shock. As ECMO use increases, we studied left ventricular (LV) performance during sepsis with and without ECMO using a pressure-volume (PV) loop in a murine model and aimed to understand LV hemodynamics in septic shock with ECMO. The rats were divided into Group 1 (ECMO applied to healthy rats), Group 2 (ECMO for septic rats), Group 3 (Controls, n = 20) and Group 4 (Sepsis induction only, n = 20). The cardiac parameters include end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic pressure (EDP), and end-systolic pressure (ESP), ejection fraction (EF), end-systolic elastance (Ees), diastolic time constant (Tau) index, arterial elastance (Ea), pressure-volume area (PVA), stroke work (SW), and potential energy (PE). We compared the changes of parameters in all groups. A total of 74 rats were included in the analyses. After 2 h on ECMO, Group 2 was associated with significant increases in ESP, EDV, ESV, PVA, PE, and SW. The difference ratio of PE and PVA was significantly higher in Group 2 compared to Group 1 (P < 0.01). In conclusion, myocardial oxygen consumption was higher in septic shock with ECMO than in controls.
