Abstract
Extracorporeal life support, such as pediatric cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), is associated with significant mortality and morbidity risk. This study evaluated cardiac ECMO survivors with central cannulation and found that 51.1% were discharged from the hospital. The study also revealed high rates of developmental delay (82.7%), motor dysfunction (58.8%), and cognitive dysfunction (70.6%) among survivors. No significant correlation was found between the duration of ECMO, age at ECMO, pre-ECMO maximum lactate levels, and cognitive scores. Participants with motor dysfunction were significantly younger (p = 0.04). PRISM scores of those with an abnormal developmental status were significantly higher (p = 0.03). Logistic regression analysis did not show a significantly increased risk. Factors such as age, disease severity, and ECMO itself were identified as potential contributors to neurodevelopmental delay.

Abstract
Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) has potential benefits compared to conventional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CCPR) in children. Although no randomised trials for paediatric ECPR have been conducted, there is extensive literature on survival, neurological outcome and risk factors for survival. Based on current literature and guidelines, we suggest recommendations for deployment of paediatric ECPR emphasising the requirement for protocols, training, and timely intervention to enhance patient outcomes. Factors related to outcomes of paediatric ECPR include initial underlying rhythm, CCPR duration, quality of CCPR, medications during CCPR, cannulation site, acidosis and renal dysfunction. Based on current evidence and experience, we provide an approach to patient selection, ECMO initiation and management in ECPR regarding blood and sweep flow settings, unloading of the left ventricle, diagnostics whilst on ECMO, temperature targets, neuromonitoring as well as suggested weaning and decannulation strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during active extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a method to rescue patients refractory to standard resuscitation. We hypothesized that early arrest hemodynamics and end-tidal C o2 (ET co2 ) are associated with survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome in pediatric ECPR patients. DESIGN Preplanned, secondary analysis of pediatric Utstein, hemodynamic, and ventilatory data in ECPR patients collected during the 2016-2021 Improving Outcomes from Pediatric Cardiac Arrest study; the ICU-RESUScitation Project (ICU-RESUS; NCT02837497). SETTING Eighteen ICUs participated in ICU-RESUS. PATIENTS There were 97 ECPR patients with hemodynamic waveforms during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Overall, 71 of 97 patients (73%) were younger than 1 year old, 82 of 97 (85%) had congenital heart disease, and 62 of 97 (64%) were postoperative cardiac surgical patients. Forty of 97 patients (41%) survived with favorable neurologic outcome. We failed to find differences in diastolic or systolic blood pressure, proportion achieving age-based target diastolic or systolic blood pressure, or chest compression rate during the initial 10 minutes of CPR between patients who survived with favorable neurologic outcome and those who did not. Thirty-five patients had ET co2 data; of 17 survivors with favorable neurologic outcome, four of 17 (24%) had an average ET co2 less than 10 mm Hg and two (12%) had a maximum ET co2 less than 10 mm Hg during the initial 10 minutes of resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS We did not identify an association between early hemodynamics achieved by high-quality CPR and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome after pediatric ECPR. Candidates for ECPR with ET co2 less than 10 mm Hg may survive with favorable neurologic outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A broad range of pathophysiologic conditions can lead to cardiopulmonary arrest in children. Some of these children suffer from refractory cardiac arrest, not responding to basic and advanced life support. Extracorporeal-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (E-CPR) might be a life-saving option for this group. Currently this therapy is only performed in-hospital, often necessitating long transport times, thereby negatively impacting eligibility and chances of survival. We present the first two cases of prehospital E-CPR in children performed by regular Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS). CASE PRESENTATIONS The first patient was a previously healthy 7 year old boy who was feeling unwell for a couple of days due to influenza. His course deteriorated into a witnessed collapse. Direct bystander CPR and subsequent ambulance advanced life support was unsuccessful in establishing a perfusing rhythm. While doing chest compressions, the patient was seen moving both his arms and making spontaneous breathing efforts. Echocardiography however revealed a severe left ventricular impairment (near standstill). The second patient was a 15 year old girl, known with bronchial asthma and poor medication compliance. She suffered yet another asthmatic attack, so severe that she progressed into cardiac arrest in front of the attending ambulance and HEMS crews. Despite maximum bronchodilator therapy, intubation and the exclusion of tension pneumothoraxes and dynamic hyperinflation, no cardiac output was achieved. INTERVENTION After consultation with the nearest paediatric E-CPR facilities, both patients were on-scene cannulated by regular HEMS. The femoral artery and vein were cannulated (15-17Fr and 21Fr respectively) under direct ultrasound guidance using an out-of-plane Seldinger approach. Extracorporeal Life Support flow of 2.1 and 3.8 l/min was established in 20 and 16 min respectively (including preparation and cannulation). Both patients were transported uneventfully to the nearest paediatric intensive care with spontaneous breathing efforts and reactive pupils during transport. CONCLUSION This case-series shows that a properly trained regular HEMS crew of only two health care professionals (doctor and flight nurse) can establish E-CPR on-scene in (older) children. Ambulance transport with ongoing CPR is challenging, even more so in children since transportation times tend to be longer compared to adults and automatic chest compression devices are often unsuitable and/or unapproved for children. Prehospital cannulation of susceptible E-CPR candidates has the potential to reduce low-flow time and offer E-CPR therapy to a wider group of children suffering refractory cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are associated with poor outcomes in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our objective is to evaluate the impact of AKI and FO on pediatric patients receiving ECMO for cardiac pathology. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the six-center Kidney Interventions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (KIDMO) database, including only children who underwent ECMO for cardiac pathology. AKI was defined using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) creatinine criteria. FO was defined as < 10% (FO-) vs. ≥ 10% (FO +) and was evaluated at ECMO initiation, peak during ECMO, and ECMO discontinuation. Primary outcomes were mortality and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Data from 191 patients were included. Non-survivors (56%) were more likely to be FO + than survivors at peak ECMO fluid status and ECMO discontinuation. There was a significant interaction between AKI and FO. In the presence of AKI, the adjusted odds of mortality for FO + was 4.79 times greater than FO- (95% CI: 1.52-15.12, p = 0.01). In the presence of FO + , the adjusted odds of mortality for AKI + was 2.7 times higher than AKI- [95%CI: 1.10-6.60; p = 0.03]. Peak FO + was associated with a 55% adjusted relative increase in LOS [95%CI: 1.07-2.26, p = 0.02]. CONCLUSIONS The association of peak FO + with mortality is present only in the presence of AKI + . Similarly, AKI + is associated with mortality only in the presence of peak FO + . FO + was associated with LOS. Studies targeting fluid management have the potential to improve LOS and mortality outcomes. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly popular method for the treatment of patients with life-threatening conditions. The case we have described is characterized by the effectiveness of therapy despite resuscitation lasting more than one hour. A 3.5-year-old girl with a negative medical history was admitted to the Department of Cardiology due to ectopic atrial tachycardia. It was decided to perform electrical cardioversion under intravenous anaesthesia. During the induction of anaesthesia, cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) occurred. Despite resuscitation, a permanent hemodynamically effective heart rhythm was not achieved. Due to prolonged resuscitation (over one hour) and persistent PEA, it was decided to use veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. After three days of intensive ECMO therapy, hemodynamic stabilization was achieved. The time of implementing ECMO therapy and assessment of the initial clinical status of the patient should be emphasized.

Abstract
Biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction may aid in decision making about organ recovery and optimal timing of separation from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We conducted a prospective observational study of children from 0 to <18 years who underwent ECMO between 7/2010 and 6/2015 in a single center. In this pilot study, we aimed to determine whether Suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), N -terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), galectin-3, and endostatin were associated with ability to separate from ECMO. Fifty neonatal and pediatric participants supported on venoarterial ECMO were included (median age 13 days, 50% male). Twelve (24%) participants were unable to separate from extracorporeal support. Plasma ST2 concentrations at cannulation were higher in children who were ultimately unable to separate versus those who successfully separated from ECMO (median 395.3 ng/mL vs. 207.4 ng/mL, p = 0.012). ST2 and NT-proBNP concentrations decreased significantly from the first to the last ECMO day in patients successfully separated from ECMO ( p < 0.0001 and p = 0.017, respectively). Endostatin concentrations increased significantly from the first to the last ECMO day in both groups. Galectin-3 concentrations were not associated with the ability to separate from ECMO. Cardiac dysfunction biomarkers, particularly ST2, may aid in decannulation decision-making in pediatric ECMO patients. These results should be validated with a larger study.

Abstract
Background: Air embolism during laparoscopic surgery is a rare but feared complication in the pediatric population. The objective of this study was to identify rates of air embolus in pediatric patients during hospitalization for laparoscopic or open surgical procedures of the peritoneal cavity. Materials and Methods: Patients 0-18 years old within the Pediatric Health Information System who underwent a predefined, common inpatient laparoscopic or open surgical procedure involving the peritoneal cavity from 2015 to 2020 were studied. International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes for air embolism were then searched among patients during the same admission. Firth logistic regression was used to compare rates of air embolism in open and laparoscopic cohorts and in patients >1 and ≤1 year. Results: Unadjusted rates of air embolism were higher in patients undergoing open compared with laparoscopic surgery (open: 9/45,080; 20.0/100,000 patients versus laparoscopic: 3/101,892; 2.9/100,000 patients). In patients ≤1 year (45,726), 2 patients undergoing open surgery (2/1,031; 9.5/100,000 patients) and all 3 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery had an air embolism diagnosis (3/22,329; 13.4/100,000 patients). For laparoscopic surgery, a suggested lower relative risk (RR) of air embolism was demonstrated for children >1 year compared with children ≤1 year (RR: 0.05, P = .05). Conclusion: Air embolism associated with common pediatric surgical procedures of the peritoneum is rare and patients undergoing laparoscopic and open surgery have similar risks for air embolism. Although rare, the risk should be considered during surgical planning and abdominal access, especially in children ≤1 year old.

Characteristics of pediatric non-cardiac eCPR programs in United States and Canadian hospitals: A cross-sectional survey. J Pediatr Surg 2022; 57:892-895. [PMID: 35618493 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2022.04.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize practices surrounding pediatric eCPR in the U.S. and Canada. METHODS Cross-sectional survey of U.S. and Canadian hospitals with non-cardiac eCPR programs. Variables included hospital and surgical group demographics, eCPR inclusion/exclusion criteria, cannulation approaches, and outcomes (survival to decannulation and survival to discharge). RESULTS Surveys were completed by 40 hospitals in the United States (37) and Canada (3) among an estimated 49 programs (82% response rate). Respondents tended to work in >200 bed free-standing children's hospitals (27, 68%). Pediatric general surgeons respond to activations in 32 (80%) cases, with a median group size of 7 (IQR 5,9.5); 8 (20%) responding institutions take in-house call and 63% have a formal back-up system for eCPR. Dedicated simulation programs were reported by 22 (55%) respondents. Annual eCPR activations average approximately 6/year; approximately 39% of patients survived to decannulation, with 35% surviving to discharge. Cannulations occurred in a variety of settings and were mostly done through the neck at the purview of cannulating surgeon/proceduralist. Exclusion criteria used by hospitals included pre-hospital arrest (21, 53%), COVID+ (5, 13%), prolonged CPR (18, 45%), lethal chromosomal anomalies (15, 38%) and terminal underlying disease (14, 35%). CONCLUSIONS While there are some similarities regarding inclusion/exclusion criteria, cannulation location and modality and follow-up in pediatric eCPR, these are not standard across multiple institutions. Survival to discharge after eCPR is modest but data on cost and long-term neurologic sequela are lacking. Codification of indications and surgical approaches may help clarify the utility and success of eCPR.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an adjunct supportive therapy to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) employing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the setting of refractory cardiac arrest. Its use has seen a significant increase in the past decade, providing hope for good functional recovery to patients with cardiac arrest refractory to conventional resuscitation maneuvers. This review paper aims to summarize key findings from the ECPR literature available to date as well as the recommendations for ECPR set forth by leading national and international resuscitation societies. Additionally, we describe the successful pediatric ECPR program at Texas Children's Hospital, highlighting the logistical, technical and educational features of the program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has improved survival in patients with cardiac arrest; however, factors predicting survival remain poorly characterized. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the predictors of survival of ECPR in pediatric patients. METHODS We searched EMBASE, PubMed, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library from 2010 to 2021 for pediatric ECPR studies comparing survivors and non-survivors. Thirty outcomes were analyzed and classified into 5 categories: demographics, pre-ECPR laboratory measurements, pre-ECPR co-morbidities, intra-ECPR characteristics, and post-ECPR complications. RESULTS Thirty studies (n = 3794) were included. Pooled survival to hospital discharge (SHD) was 44% (95% CI: 40%-47%, I2 = 67%). Significant predictors of survival for pediatric ECPR include the pre-ECPR lab measurements of PaO2, pH, lactate, PaCO2, and creatinine, pre-ECPR comorbidities of single ventricle (SV) physiology, renal failure, sepsis, ECPR characteristics of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) duration, ECMO flow rate at 24 hours, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration, shockable rhythm, intra-ECPR neurological complications, and post-ECPR complications of pulmonary hemorrhage, renal failure, and sepsis. CONCLUSION Prior to ECPR initiation, increased CPR duration and lactate levels had among the highest associations with mortality, followed by pH. After ECPR initiation, pulmonary hemorrhage and neurological complications were most predictive for survival. Clinicians should focus on these factors to better inform potential prognosis of patients, advise appropriate patient selection, and improve ECPR program effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a well-described condition that merits emergent surgical decompression. Peripheral arterial cannulation can increase the likelihood of ACS in patients requiring extracorporeal membranous oxygen (ECMO). Comorbidities in these critically ill patients may portend negative consequences of decompressive fasciotomy. This study investigated the clinical short-term and mid-term outcomes in pediatric patients with ECMO-associated ACS. METHODS This is a retrospective case series at 3 pediatric hospitals from 2006 to 2019, including children ages 0 to 19 years who underwent peripheral arterial cannulation and developed ACS. RESULTS Eighteen patients developed ACS after receiving peripheral cannulation ECMO. Mean time to diagnosis after cannulation was 63.1 hours. All patients were diagnosed clinically; the most common findings were tight compartments, swelling, and loss of peripheral pulses. Eight patients (44%) died due to underlying illness. Treating physicians decided against decompression for 5 patients due to their underlying illness, instability, and concern for infection. Thirteen patients (72%) underwent decompressive fasciotomies. Ten surgical patients required subsequent surgeries and 6 (33%) developed surgical site infections. Of the 7 surviving surgical patients, 4 (57%) required extremity amputations and 4 had lower extremity neurological deficits on follow-up. Two of 3 nonsurgical patients (66%) had functional lower extremity motor deficits on follow-up. No surviving nonoperative patients developed infections or required amputations. CONCLUSIONS ACS on ECMO is associated with high rates of complications including neurologic deficits, infection, and amputation. Patients treated nonoperatively avoided complications such as infection and amputation, but had more functional neurological deficits than surgical patients. Orthopaedic surgeons should consider the high morbidity of compartment release in these critically ill patients and, with critical care teams, assess whether the potential benefits of surgery outweigh expected risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding the influence of intraoperative residual lesions on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) following the Norwood procedure are limited. Moreover, the significance of postoperative ECMO timing on in-hospital outcomes remains incompletely characterized. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent the Norwood operation from January 1997 to November 2017. Patients with at least minor residual lesions based on the intraoperative postcardiopulmonary bypass echocardiogram were identified. The association between residual lesions and postoperative ECMO was assessed with logistic regression, adjusting for age, weight, prematurity, various preoperative system-specific and procedural risk factors, shunt type, and era. Among patients receiving ECMO, associations between late ECMO (≥3 days post-Norwood) and in-hospital mortality or transplant, postoperative hospital length-of-stay, and cost of hospitalization were evaluated using logistic regression or generalized linear models with a gamma distribution and logarithmic link. RESULTS Among 500 patients, 78 (15.6%) received ECMO postoperatively. On multivariable analysis, the presence of at least minor residual lesions (odds ratio, 4.4; 95% CI, 2.1-9.3; P < .001) was associated with postoperative ECMO. In the ECMO subpopulation, there were 44 (56.4%) deaths or transplants. Late ECMO was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality or transplant (adjusted odds ratio, 6.2; 95% CI, 1.5-26.0), longer postoperative hospital length of stay (regression coefficient, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.3-1.1), and greater cost (regression coefficient, 0.6; 95%, CI 0.4-0.7), versus early ECMO (all P values < .05). CONCLUSIONS The presence of even minor intraoperative residua significantly increases the risk of ECMO following the Norwood operation. Among patients receiving ECMO postoperatively, early institution of ECMO is associated with lower mortality and resource utilization.

Abstract
Nearly half of children experiencing cardiac arrest following cardiac surgery do not survive hospital discharge and patients who survive often experience significant neurological impairment. Additionally, increased resource utilization following cardiac arrest translates into adverse logistical and financial consequences. Although some studies have identified patient characteristics that increase the risk of cardiac arrest after pediatric cardiac surgery, modifiable risk factors, which could provide a foundation for effective prevention strategies, have been elusive. This scoping review explores the current knowledge surrounding risk factors associated with cardiac arrest in children following cardiac surgery and provides recommendations for future research.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are common complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The purpose of this study was to characterize AKI and FO in children receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). We performed a multicenter retrospective study of children who received eCPR. AKI was assessed during ECMO and FO defined as <10% [FO-] vs. ≥10% [FO+] evaluated at ECMO initiation and discontinuation. A composite exposure, defined by a four-group discrete phenotypic classification [FO-/AKI-, FO-/AKI+, FO+/AKI-, FO+/AKI+] was also evaluated. Primary outcome was mortality and hospital length of stay (LOS) among survivors. 131 patients (median age 29 days (IQR:9, 242 days); 51% men and 82% with underlying cardiac disease) were included. 45.8% survived hospital discharge. FO+ at ECMO discontinuation, but not AKI was associated with mortality [aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.07-4.91]. LOS for FO+ patients was twice as long as FO- patients, irrespective of AKI status [(FO+/AKI+ (60 days; IQR: 49-83) vs. FO-/AKI+ (30 days, IQR: 19-48 days); P = 0.01]. FO+ at ECMO initiation and discontinuation was associated with an adjusted 66% and 50% longer length of stay respectively. Prospective studies that target timing and strategy of fluid management, including its removal in children receiving ECPR are greatly needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important treatment option for organ support in respiratory insufficiency, cardiac failure, or as an advanced tool for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Reports on pediatric ECMO use in our region are lacking. METHODS This study is a retrospective review of all pediatric cases that underwent a veno-arterial (VA) or veno-venous (VV) ECMO protocol between November 2009 and August 2020 at the Department of Pediatrics, University Hospital Center Zagreb, Croatia. RESULTS Fifty-two ECMO runs identified over the period; data were complete for 45 cases, of which 23 (51%) were female, and median age was 8 months. Thirty-eight (84%) patients were treated using the VA-and 7 (16%) using VV-ECMO. The overall survival rate was 51%. Circulatory failure was the most common indication for ECMO (N = 38, 84%), and in 17 patients ECMO was started after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR). Among survivors, 74% had no or minor neurological sequelae. Variables associated with poor outcome were renal failure with renal replacement therapy (p < .001) and intracranial injury (p < .001). CONCLUSION Overall survival rate in our cohort is comparable to the data published in the literature. The use of hemodialysis was shown to be associated with higher mortality. High rates of full neurological recovery among survivors are a strong case for further ECMO program development in our institution.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this article was to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with early recurrent arrest (RA) (<48 hours) and late RA (≥48 hours) among pediatric inpatients following an initial in-hospital cardiac arrest. A retrospective cohort study of inpatients was performed in a free-standing academic quaternary care children's hospital. All inpatients were <18 years old with a cardiac arrest event requiring ≥1 minute of cardiopulmonary resuscitation with the return of spontaneous circulation sustained for ≥20 minutes at Seattle Children's Hospital from February 1, 2012 to September 18, 2019. Of the 237 included patients, 20 (8%) patients had an early RA and 30 (13%) had a late RA. Older age and severe pre-arrest acidosis were associated with a higher risk of early RA, odds ratios (OR) 1.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1–1.3) per additional year and 4.6 (95% CI 1.2–18.1), respectively. Pre-arrest organ dysfunction was also associated with a higher risk of early RA with an OR of 3.3 (95% CI 1.1–9.4) for respiratory dysfunction, OR 1.4 (95% CI 1.1–1.9) for each additional dysfunctional organ system, and OR 1.1 (95% CI 1–1.2) for every one-point increase in PELOD2 score. The neonatal illness category was associated with a lower risk of late RA, OR 0.3 (95% CI 0.1–0.97), and severe post-arrest acidosis was associated with a higher risk of late RA, OR 4.2 (95% CI 1.1–15). Several demographic and clinical factors offer some ability to identify children who sustain a recurrent cardiac arrest, offering a potential opportunity for intervention to prevent early recurrent arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the impact of diagnostic procedures in identifying residual lesions during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on survival after pediatric cardiac surgery. METHODS Between January 2012 and December 2017, 74 patients required postcardiotomy ECMO. Patients were retrospectively divided into 2 groups: Group I underwent only echocardiography ([echo only] 46 patients, 62.2%) and group II (echo+) underwent additional diagnostic tests (ie, computed tomography [CT] or cardiac catheterization; 28 patients, 37.8%). Propensity score matching was used to balance the 2 groups by baseline characteristics. RESULTS Two equal groups (28 patients in each group) were formed by propensity score matching. Fourteen (50%) patients in the echo-only group and 20 (71%) patients in the echo+ group were successfully weaned from ECMO (P = .17). Four (14.3%) patients survived in the echo-only group and 15 (53.5%) patients survived in the echo+ group (P = .004). Patients in the echo+ group had a lower chance of dying compared to the echo-only group (odds ratio, 0.14.6; 95% CI, 0.039-0.52; P = .003). The residual lesions, which may have served as a mortality factor, were found by autopsy in 8 (40%) patients in the echo-only group, while none were found in the echo+ group (P = .014). CONCLUSIONS The autopsies of patients who died despite postcardiotomy ECMO support showed that in 40% of cases that had been investigated by echo only, residual lesions that had not been detected by echocardiography were present. The cardiac catheterization and CT during ECMO are effective and safe for identifying residual lesions. Early detection and repair of residual lesions may increase the survival rate of pediatric cardiac patients on ECMO.

Factors Associated With Initiation of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the Pediatric Population: An International Survey. ASAIO J 2021; 68:413-418.

Abstract
Although extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly utilized in the pediatric critical care environment, our understanding regarding pediatric candidacy for ECPR remains unknown. Our objective is to explore current practice and indications for pediatric ECPR. Scenario-based, self-administered, online survey, evaluating clinical determinants that may impact pediatric ECPR initiation with respect to four scenarios: postoperative cardiac surgery, cardiac failure secondary to myocarditis, septic shock, and chronic respiratory failure in a former preterm child. Responders are pediatric critical care physicians from four societies. 249 physicians, mostly from North America, answered the survey. In cardiac scenarios, 40% of the responders would initiate ECPR, irrespective of CPR duration, compared with less than 20% in noncardiac scenarios. Nearly 33% of responders would consider ECPR if CPR duration was less than 60 minutes in noncardiac scenarios. Factors strongly decreasing the likelihood to initiate ECPR were out-of-hospital unwitnessed cardiac arrest and blood pH <6.60. Additional factors reducing this likelihood were multiple organ failure, pre-existing neurologic delay, >10 doses of adrenaline, poor CPR quality, and lactate >18 mmol/l. Pediatric intensive care unit location for cardiac arrest, good CPR quality, 24/7 in-house extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) team moderately increase the likelihood of initiating ECPR. This international survey of pediatric ECPR initiation practices reveals significant differences regarding ECPR candidacy based on patient category, location of arrest, duration of CPR, witness status, and last blood pH. Further research identifying prognostic factors measurable before ECMO initiation should help define the optimal ECPR initiation strategy.

Abstract
In children with severe advanced heart failure where medical management has failed, mechanical circulatory support in the form of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) or ventricular assist device represents life-sustaining therapy. This review provides an overview of VA ECMO used for cardiovascular support including medical and surgical heart disease. Indications, contraindications, and outcomes of VA ECMO in the pediatric population are discussed.VA ECMO provides biventricular and respiratory support and can be deployed in rapid fashion to rescue patient with failing physiology. There have been advances in conduct and technologic aspects of VA ECMO, but survival outcomes have not improved. Stringent selection and optimal timing of deployment are critical to improve mortality and morbidity of the patients supported with VA ECMO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this work is to provide insight into survival and neurologic outcomes of pediatric patients supported with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science was performed from January 1990 to May 2020. STUDY SELECTION A comprehensive list of nonregistry studies with pediatric patients managed with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was included. DATA EXTRACTION Study characteristics and outcome estimates were extracted from each article. DATA SYNTHESIS Estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Differences were estimated using subgroup meta-analysis and meta-regression. The Meta-analyses Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guideline was followed and the certainty of evidence was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system. Twenty-eight studies (1,348 patients) were included. There was a steady increase in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation occurrence rate from the 1990s until 2020. There were 32, 338, and 1,094 patients' articles published between 1990 and 2000, 2001 and 2010, and 2010 and 2020, respectively. More than 70% were cannulated for a primary cardiac arrest. Pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients had a 46% (CI 95% = 43-48%; p < 0.01) overall survival rate. The rate of survival with favorable neurologic outcome was 30% (CI 95% = 27-33%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is rapidly expanding, particularly for children with underlying cardiac disease. An overall survival of 46% and favorable neurologic outcomes add credence to this emerging therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common neonatal and pediatric cardiac indication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Risk factors of survival and neurologic complication were different in many centers. We sought to evaluate survival and neurological outcome after ECMO in patients with CHD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 37 patients (<16 years old) who received ECMO. Indications for ECMO were failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass in 18 patients, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in 13 patients, and others in 6 patients. The median cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration in ECPR patients was 48 min (interquartile range: 38-53 min). Neurological outcomes were evaluated using the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) scale one year after hospital discharge. RESULTS The median ECMO duration was 160 (91-286) h. Twenty-nine patients (78%) were successfully weaned off ECMO. Overall survival to hospital discharge was 59%. Risk factors of mortality were as follows: ECMO duration >1 week and urine output <1 mL/kg/h in the first 24 h after ECMO induction by multivariable analysis. Of the 22 survivors, 15 (68%) patients had a favorable outcome (PCPC ≤2). Risk factors for unfavorable outcomes (PCPC ≥3) included ECPR as indication and CPR of longer than 40 min. CONCLUSIONS Longer ECMO duration and lower urine output were associated with increased mortality. Neurologic outcomes were not satisfactory when CPR was required for a longer period before ECMO establishment.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the association of vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) and vasoactive-ventilation-renal (VVR) score with in-hospital mortality and functional outcomes at discharge of children who receive ECMO. A sub-analysis of the multicenter, prospectively collected data by the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN) for Bleeding and Thrombosis on ECMO (BATE database) was conducted. Of the 514 patients who received ECMO across eight centers from December 2012 to February 2016, 421 were included in the analysis. Patients > 18 years of age, patients placed on ECMO directly from cardiopulmonary bypass or as an exit procedure, or patients with an invalid or missing VIS score were excluded. Higher VIS (OR = 1.008, 95% CI: 1.002-1.014, p = 0.011) and VVR (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.001-1.012, p = 0.023) were associated with increased mortality. VIS was associated with worse Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) (OR = 1.027, 95% CI: 1.010-1.044, p = 0.002) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) score (OR = 1.023, 95% CI: 1.009-1.038, p = 0.002) at discharge. No association was found between VIS or VVR and Functional Status Score (FSS) at discharge. Using multivariable analyses, controlling for ECMO mode, ECMO location, ECMO indication, primary diagnosis, and chronic diagnosis, extremely high VIS and VVR were still associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the long-term (> 6 mo) functional status of PICU patients with significant new functional morbidities at hospital discharge. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort followed-up using structured chart reviews of electronic health records. SETTING Electronic health records of former PICU patients at seven sites. PATIENTS Randomly selected patients from the Trichotomous Outcome Prediction in Critical Care study discharged from the hospital with new functional status morbidity who had sufficient electronic health record data to determine functional status. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Long-term functional status was measured with the Functional Status Scale and categorized by comparison to hospital discharge Functional Status Scale. Improvement or new morbidity was based on a change in Functional Status Scale of greater than or equal to 2 in a single domain. Overall, 56% (n = 71) improved, 15% (n = 19) did not change, 9% (n = 11) developed a new morbidity, and 21% (n = 26) died. The shortest median follow-up time from PICU discharge was 1.4 years for those who died and the longest was 4.0 years for those improved. Functional status at baseline (pre-acute illness) was different among the outcome groups with those that improved having the highest frequency of baseline normal status or only mild dysfunction. Of the long-term survivors with improvement, 82% (n = 58) improved to normal status or mild dysfunction, 11% (n = 8) improved to moderate dysfunction, and 7% (n = 5) improved to severe dysfunction. Trauma patients improved and cancer patients died more frequently than other diagnoses. The long-term outcome groups were not associated with hospital discharge functional status. CONCLUSIONS A majority of PICU survivors discharged with significant new functional morbidity with follow-up after 6 or more months improved, many to normal status or only mild dysfunction, while 29% died or developed new morbidity. Of the long-term survivors, 70% had significant improvement after a median follow-up time of 4.0 years.

Abstract
In this article, a retrospective study was performed to describe the impact of merging two pediatric intensive care units on the overall and neurocognitive outcomes of children who required extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Results from three cohorts were compared: 2008 to 2014: premerge, 2014 to 2017: initial time period postmerge, and 2018 to 2019: established merge. Survival to hospital discharge (and with good neurological outcome) was of 68% (61%), 46% (36%), and 79% (71%), respectively, for the three time periods. Merging two hospitals resulted in a nonsignificant trend toward temporary worse outcomes in pediatric patients requiring ECPR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used to support refractory cardiorespiratory failure. Outcomes and complications when extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used to support cardiorespiratory failure secondary to arrhythmia in pediatric patients remain poorly defined. Our purpose is to describe pediatric patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for supraventricular arrhythmias in the context of normal cardiac anatomy and congenital heart disease and identify patient/peri-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation variables associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-related complications and survival. DESIGN Retrospective multicenter review from 1993 to 2016. SETTING Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry. SUBJECTS Patients younger than 21 years old requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for supraventricular arrhythmias. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 342 patients were identified (weight, 3.8 kg [3.2-7.5 kg]; age at extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation, 24 d [6-222]; 61% male). Sixty-five percentage survived to hospital discharge. Complications were frequent (85%) and most commonly cardiac related (31%). In multivariable modeling, mortality was associated with congenital heart disease, time from intubation to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation, use of bicarbonate prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation duration, and the presence of a complication. The presence of any complication was associated with a three-fold increase in the odds of death. In subgroup analysis of isolated supraventricular arrhythmias patients, similar patient and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation characteristics were associated with outcome. A lower pre-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation pH and PCO2 and site of venous cannulation were associated with complications (p < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use for medically refractory supraventricular arrhythmias was associated with a 65% survival to hospital discharge. However, there was a high rate of complications, the presence of which was associated with decreased survival. Complications appeared to be related to pre-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation clinical status and whether earlier extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation prior to patient deterioration would improve outcomes needs additional evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at risk of catastrophic neurologic injury and brain death. Timely determination of brain death is important for minimizing psychological distress for families, resource allocation, and organ donation. Reports of successful determination of brain death in pediatric patients supported by ECMO are limited. The determination of brain death by clinical criteria requires apnea testing, which has historically been viewed as challenging in patients supported by ECMO. We report eight pediatric patients who underwent a total of 14 brain death examinations, including apnea testing, while supported by veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO), resulting in six cases of clinical determination of brain death. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of the medical records of pediatric patients who underwent brain death examination while supported by VA-ECMO between 2010 and 2018 at a single tertiary care children's hospital. RESULTS Eight patients underwent brain death examination, including apnea testing, while supported by VA-ECMO. Six patients met criteria for brain death, while two had withdrawal of technical support after the first examination. During the majority of apnea tests (n = 13/14), the ECMO circuit was modified to achieve hypercarbia while maintaining oxygenation and hemodynamic stability. The sweep flow was decreased prior to apnea testing in ten brain death examinations, carbon dioxide was added to the circuit during three examinations, and ECMO pump flows were increased in response to hypotension during two examinations. CONCLUSIONS Clinical determination of brain death, including apnea testing, can be performed in pediatric patients supported by ECMO. The ECMO circuit can be effectively modified during apnea testing to achieve a timely rise in carbon dioxide while maintaining oxygenation and hemodynamic stability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in children with refractory cardiac arrest has been shown to improve survival, however, risk factors associated with mortality and neurologic impairments are not well defined. We analyzed our recent institutional experience with pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation to identify variables associated with survival and neurocognitive outcome. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Pediatric cardiology and congenital heart surgery departments of a tertiary referral heart center. PATIENTS Seventy-two consecutive children (median age, 0.3 yr [0.0-1.9 yr]) who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation at our institution during the study period from 2005 to 2016. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Median duration of resuscitation was 60 minutes (42-80 min) and median extracorporeal support duration was 5.4 days (2.2-7.9 d). Forty-three (59.7%) extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation events occurred during off-hours, however, neither duration of resuscitation (65 min [49-89 min] vs 51 min [35-80 min]; p = 0.16) nor survival (34.9% vs 37.9%; p = 0.81) differed significantly compared to working hours. Congenital heart disease was present in 84.7% of the patients. Survival to hospital discharge was 36.1%; younger age, higher lactate levels after resuscitation, acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy, hepatic injury, and complexity of prior cardiothoracic surgical procedures were significantly associated with mortality. At mid-term follow-up (median, 4.1 yr [3.7-6.1 yr]), 22 patients (84.6% of discharge survivors) were still alive with 77.3% having a favorable neurologic outcome. High lactate levels, arrest location other than ICU, and requirement for renal replacement therapy were associated with unfavorable neurologic outcome. Interestingly, longer duration of resuscitation did not negatively impact survival or neurologic outcome. CONCLUSIONS Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a valuable tool for the treatment of children with refractory cardiac arrest and a favorable neurologic outcome can be achieved in the majority of survivors even after prolonged resuscitation. Mortality after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in postcardiac surgery children is associated with procedural complexity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterise the mortality and neurological outcomes of paediatric cardiac patients requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation for more than 30 minutes prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation and to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes in this population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Observational retrospective cohort study in paediatric cardiac patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation for greater than 30 minutes prior to cannulation in a tertiary children's hospital, from July 2000 to July 2013. RESULTS Seventy-three paediatric cardiac patients requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation for more than 30 minutes prior to cannulation were included in the study. Survival to hospital discharge was 43.8%, with 75% of survivors having either normal neurologic function or only mild disability. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that increased use of calcium during resuscitation (odds ratio 14.5, p 0.01), cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration >50 minutes (odds ratio 4.12, p 0.03), >6 interruptions of chest compressions during cannulation (odds ratio 6.40, p 0.03), the need for continuous renal replacement therapy (odds ratio 11.1, p 0.001), and abnormal pupillary response during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (odds ratio 33.9, p 0.006) were independent predictors for hospital mortality. CONCLUSION Survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation for more than 30 minutes prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation in our paediatric cardiac cohort was 43.8%. Factors associated with mortality included calcium use during resuscitation, longer cardiopulmonary resuscitation, increased chest compression pauses during cannulation, the use of continuous renal replacement therapy, and abnormal pupils during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. A prospective assessment of these factors in paediatric cardiac patients may be beneficial in improving outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used to rescue patients with cardiac arrest refractory to conventional therapy, necessitating evaluation of factors that may affect outcomes. METHODS A single-center retrospective review of pediatric patients (<21 years old) who underwent ECPR from January 2010 to November 2017. Comparisons between nonsurvivors and survivors, to decannulation and discharge, were made. Factors associated with survival and rate of complications were examined. RESULTS Seventy patients were supported with ECPR. Forty-nine (70%) patients survived to decannulation and 38 (54%) patients to discharge. There was no statistical difference between baseline characteristics of survivors and nonsurvivors, including age at cannulation, weight (kg), time to cannulation (minutes), and total time on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (hours). Survivors to discharge had significantly higher pH prior to cannulation compared to nonsurvivors (7.11 ± 0.24 vs 6.97 ± 0.21, P = .01). Of all, 23.2% of patients received renal replacement therapy (RRT), 39.4% had significant bleeding, 22.5% had thrombotic complications, and 68.8% had neurologic injury on imaging studies. A greater number of nonsurvivors received RRT compared to survivors to discharge (35.5% vs 10.8%, P = .02). There were no differences in bleeding or thrombotic complications or radiographically established neurologic injury. CONCLUSIONS Although ECPR effectively increases overall survival, a better characterization of long-term outcomes is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine cardiac arrest- and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-related risk factors associated with unfavorable outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DESIGN We performed an analysis of merged data from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization and the American Heart Association Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation registries. SETTING A total of 32 hospitals reporting to both registries between 2000 and 2014. PATIENTS Children younger than 18 years old who suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest and underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 593 children included in the final cohort, 240 (40.5%) died prior to decannulation from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and 352 (59.4%) died prior to hospital discharge. A noncardiac diagnosis and preexisting renal insufficiency were associated with increased odds of death (adjusted odds ratio, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.19-2.89] and 4.74 [95% CI, 2.06-10.9], respectively). The median time from onset of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation event to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation was 48 minutes (interquartile range, 28-70 min). Longer time from onset of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation event to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation was associated with higher odds of death prior to hospital discharge (adjusted odds ratio for each 5 additional minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation, 1.04 [95% CI, 1.01-1.07]). Each individual adverse event documented during the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation course, including neurologic, pulmonary, renal, metabolic, cardiovascular and hemorrhagic, was associated with higher odds of death, with higher odds as the cumulative number of documented adverse events during the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation course increased. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation reported by linking two national registries are encouraging. Noncardiac diagnoses, preexisting renal insufficiency, longer time from onset of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation event to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation, and adverse events during the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation course are associated with worse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe neurobehavioral outcomes and investigate factors associated with survival and survival with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after in-hospital cardiac arrest for children who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DESIGN Secondary analysis of the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital trial. SETTING Thirty-seven PICUs in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. PATIENTS Children (n = 147) resuscitated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation following in-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS Neurobehavioral status was assessed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, at prearrest baseline and 12 months postarrest. Norms for Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, are 100 (mean) ± 15 (SD). Higher scores indicate better functioning. Outcomes included 12-month survival, 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points from baseline, and 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 147 children receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 125 (85.0%) had a preexisting cardiac condition, 75 (51.0%) were postcardiac surgery, and 84 (57.1%) were less than 1 year old. Duration of chest compressions was greater than 30 minutes for 114 (77.5%). Sixty-one (41.5%) survived to 12 months, 32 (22.1%) survived to 12 months with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points from baseline, and 39 (30.5%) survived to 12 months with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. On multivariable analyses, open-chest cardiac massage was independently associated with greater 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points and greater 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. Higher minimum postarrest lactate and preexisting gastrointestinal conditions were independently associated with lower 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points and lower 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. CONCLUSIONS About one third of children survived with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for in-hospital arrest. Open-chest cardiac massage and minimum postarrest lactate were associated with survival with good neurobehavioral outcome at 1 year.

Abstract
Retrospective analysis was performed at an affiliated university children's hospital with consecutive patients receiving a venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for refractory cardiogenic shock from July 2007 to May 2018. Fifty-six patients underwent VA-ECMO for refractory cardiogenic shock with the median age of 39.0 (1.5, 103.5) months were included. Median ECMO duration was 87 h, and the median length of hospital stay was 22 days. Successful ECMO weaning rate was 68%. Thirty-day mortality in this cohort was 39% (22/56), among which the mortality of fulminant myocarditis and postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) were 23% (6/26) and 52% (12/23), respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis identified prolonged prothrombin time (PT) > 6 s and elevated lactate level 24 h after ECMO initiation were associated with 30-day mortality.Conclusions: Pediatric VA-ECMO for refractory cardiogenic shock appears to be a satisfactory salvage therapy to various fatal diseases in this retrospective study. Prolonged PT > 6 s and elevated lactate level 24 h were significant predictors of 30-day mortality. What is Known: • VA-ECMO is a salvage therapy for refractory cardiogenic shock in pediatrics. What is New: • Prothrombin time > 6 s was a significant predictor of 30-day mortality. • Elevated lactate level 24 h was a significant predictor of 30-day mortality.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to establish reliable markers for mortality in children with refractory cardiogenic shock who underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. A retrospective observational cohort study was performed at academic children's hospital for forty-three consecutive pediatric patients who required veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support with refractory cardiogenic shock from January 2011 to October 2017. 30-day mortality in this cohort was 39.5% (17/43), and successful ECMO weaning rate was 69.8%. Blood lactate was elevated before ECMO implantation and the lactate peak concentration had significant differences between survivors and non-survivors, 8.4 ± 4.3 vs 13.9 ± 6.6 mmol/L. AUC to ROC curve analysis of lactate peak was 0.745 (p < 0.05), and the best cut-off value was 14.2 mmmol/L (sensitivity: 53%, specificity: 92%). The length of lactate level > 5 mmol/L was the most significant connection to 30-day mortality. Its AUC was 0.722 (p < 0.05), and the best cut-off value was 3.3 h (sensitivity: 67%, specificity: 80%). Non-survivors had significantly higher lactate levels during 0-6 h of ECMO support, compared to survivors, which also persisted at 7-12-h, 13-24-h, and 25-48-h ECMO. However, lactate clearance at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h revealed no significant differences between survivors and non-survivors based on 30-day mortality. Lactate peak and the duration of high lactate concentration before ECMO were reliable markers for 30-day mortality of pediatric patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. Static lactate values after ECMO implantation were associated with mortality while dynamic lactate value was not. Ensuring adequate ECMO support after cannulation and early diagnostic and intervention should be implemented to normalize the lactate level.

Abstract
Worldwide, the use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiac failure has been steadily increasing in the neonatal population and has become a widely accepted modality. Especially in centers caring for children with (congenital) heart disease, ECMO is now an essential part of care available for those with severe heart failure as a bridge to recovery, long term mechanical support, or transplantation. Short-term outcomes depend very much on indication. Hospital survival is ~40% for all neonatal cardiac ECMO patients combined. ECMO is being used for pre- and/or post-operative stabilization in neonates with congenital heart disease and in neonates with medical heart disease such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathy or refractory arrhythmias. ECMO use during resuscitation (ECPR) or for sepsis is summarized elsewhere in this special edition of Frontiers in Pediatrics. In this review article, we will discuss the indications for neonatal cardiac ECMO, the difficult process of patients' selection and identifying the right timing to initiate ECMO, as well as outline pros and cons for peripheral vs. central cannulation. We will present predictors of mortality and, very importantly, predictors of survival: what can be done to improve the outcomes for your patients. Furthermore, an overview of current insights regarding supportive care in neonatal cardiac ECMO is given. Additionally, we will address issues specific to neonates with single ventricle physiology on ECMO, for example cannulation strategies and the influence of shunt type (Blalock-Taussig shunt vs. "right ventricle to pulmonary artery" shunt). We will not only focus on short term outcomes, such as hospital survival, but also on the importance of long-term neuro-developmental outcomes, and we will end this review with suggestions for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist about neurobehavioral outcomes of children treated with open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our objective was to describe neurobehavioral outcomes 1 year after arrest among children who received open-chest CPR during in-hospital cardiac arrest and to explore factors associated with 1-year survival and survival with good neurobehavioral outcome. METHODS The study is a secondary analysis of the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital Trial. Fifty-six children who received open-chest CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest were included. Neurobehavioral status was assessed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (VABS-II) at baseline before arrest and 12 months after arrest. Norms for VABS-II are 100 ± 15 points. Outcomes included 12-month survival, 12-month survival with VABS-II decreased by no more than 15 points from baseline, and 12-month survival with VABS-II of 70 or more points. RESULTS Of 56 children receiving open-chest CPR, 49 (88%) were after cardiac surgery and 43 (77%) were younger than 1 year. Forty-four children (79%) were cannulated for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during CPR or within 6 hours of return of spontaneous circulation. Thirty-three children (59%) survived to 12 months, 22 (41%) survived to 12 months with VABS-II decreased by no more than 15 points from baseline, and of the children with baseline VABS-II of 70 or more points 23 (51%) survived to 12 months with VABS-II of 70 or more points. On multivariable analyses, use of ECMO, renal replacement therapy, and higher maximum international normalized ratio were independently associated with lower 12-month survival with VABS-II of 70 or more points. CONCLUSIONS Approximately one-half of children survived with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after open-chest CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest. Use of ECMO and postarrest renal or hepatic dysfunction may be associated with worse neurobehavioral outcomes.

Abstract
Targeted temperature management encompasses a range of clinical interventions to regulate systemic temperature, and includes both induction of varying degrees of hypothermia and fever prevention ("targeted normothermia"). Targeted temperature management plays a key role in the contemporary management of critically ill neonates and children with acute brain injury. Yet, many unanswered questions remain regarding optimal temperature management in pediatric neurocritical care. The introduction highlights experimental studies that have evaluated the neuroprotective efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia and explored possible mechanisms of action in several brain injury models. The next section focuses on three major clinical conditions in which therapeutic hypothermia has been evaluated in randomized controlled trials in pediatric populations: neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, postcardiac arrest encephalopathy, and traumatic brain injury. Clinical implications of targeted temperature management in pediatric neurocritical care are also discussed. The final section examines some of the factors that may underlie the limited neuroprotective efficacy of hypothermia that has been observed in several major pediatric clinical trials, and outlines important directions for future research.

Predictors and outcomes of early post-operative veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following infant cardiac surgery. J Intensive Care 2018; 6:56. [PMID: 30202528 PMCID: PMC6122608 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-018-0326-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2018] [Accepted: 08/21/2018] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to determine predictors of, and outcomes after, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation instituted within 48 h after cardiac surgery (early ECMO) in young infants. Methods Patients ≤ 6 weeks old having cardiac surgery from 2003 to 2012 were enrolled prospectively. Patients cannulated pre-operatively, intra-operatively, or ≥ 48 h post-operatively were excluded. Variables at p ≤ 0.1 on univariate regression were entered into multiple logistic regression to predict early ECMO. Early-ECMO cases were matched 1:2 for six demographic variables, and death by age 2 years old (determined using conditional logistic regression; presented as odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI)) and General Adaptive Composite scores at age 2 years (determined using Wilcoxon rank sum) were compared; p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Of 565 eligible patients over the 10-year period, 20 had early ECMO instituted at a mean (standard deviation) of 12.4 (11.4) h post-operatively, 10 of whom had extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Of early-ECMO patients, 8 (40%) were found to have residual anatomic defects requiring intervention with catheterization (n = 1) and/or surgery (n = 7). On multiple regression, the post-operative day 1 highest vasoactive-inotrope score (OR 1.02; 95%CI 1.06,1.08; p < 0.001), highest lactate (OR 1.2; 95%CI 1.06,1.35; p = 0.003), and lowest base deficit (OR 0.82; 95%CI 0.71,0.94; p = 0.004), CPB time (OR 1.01; 95%CI 1.00,1.02; p = 0.002), and single-ventricle anatomy (OR 5.35; 95%CI 1.66,17.31; p = 0.005) were associated with early ECMO. Outcomes at 2 years old compared between early-ECMO and matched patients were mortality 11/20 (55%) vs 11/40 (28%) (OR 3.22, 95%CI 0.98,10.63; p = 0.054) and General Adaptive Composite median 65 [interquartile range (IQR) 58, 81.5] in 9 survivors vs 93 [IQR 86.5, 102.5] in 29 survivors (p = 0.02). Conclusions The identified risk factors for, and outcomes after, having early ECMO may aid decision making in the acute period and confirm that neurodevelopmental follow-up for these children is necessary. The hypothesis that earlier institution of ECMO may improve long-term outcomes requires further study.

Abstract
To improve survival rates during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), some patients are put on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) during active resuscitation (ECPR). Our objective was to assess the clinical outcomes after pediatric ECPR in Switzerland and to determine pre-ECPR prognostic factors for mortality. The present study is a retrospective analysis. The study setting included three pediatric intensive care units in Switzerland that use ECPR. All patients (<16 years old) undergoing ECPR from 2008 to 2016 were included in the study. There were no interventions. Data before ECLS initiation and clinical outcomes were collected. An ECPR score was designed to predict mortality, based on variables significantly different between survivors and non-survivors. Fifty-five patients were included, with a median age of 13.5 months. Eighty percent were cardiac patients. The mortality rate was 75%. Mortality was significantly associated with CPR duration ( p = 0.02), last lactate ( p = 0.05), and last pH ( p = 0.01) before ECLS initiation. Based on these three variables, an ECPR score was designed as follows: CPR duration (in minutes): 1 point if < 40; 2 points if ≥ 40; 3 points if ≥ 60; 6 points if ≥ 105. Lactate (in mmol/L): 1 point if < 8; 2 points if ≥ 8; 3 points if ≥ 14; 6 points if ≥ 18. pH: 1 point if > 7.00; 2 points if ≤ 7.00; 3 points if ≤ 6.85; 6 points if ≤ 6.60. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0.74. The positive predictive value of a score ≥ 9 was 94%. In our population, a score based on three variables easily available prior to ECLS initiation had good discrimination and could appropriately predict mortality. This score now needs validation in a larger population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections represent a severe complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Aim of the present study was to describe the epidemiology of infections acquired during ECMO in a tertiary care children's hospital. METHODS Retrospective analysis of clinical records of patients undergoing ECMO between January 2009 and December 2016. For each patient, data were collected on clinical characteristics, modality of ECMO support, site and etiology of documented infections, survival within 1 week after ECMO weaning and/or at pediatric intensive care unit discharge. These data were employed to evaluate overall infection prevalence, infection rate expressed as episodes/1000 days of support and cumulative risk estimates of infections occurring during ECMO. RESULTS During the study period, a total of 46 ECMO procedures were performed. The overall prevalence of documented infections was 33%, with an infection rate of 27.22 and a cumulative risk of 55%. Bloodstream infection represented the most frequently documented (53%), followed by pneumonia (40%). Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa prevailed as isolated pathogens. Overall survival was 59%, and 46% among those developing infections during ECMO. CONCLUSIONS ECMO is a procedure at high risk for infections. Our data, limited to 1 center, represent a recent benchmark for further investigations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify patient- and disease-related factors related to survival and favorable outcomes for children who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation after a refractory cardiac arrest. DESIGN Retrospective observational study with prospective assessment of long-term functional outcome. PATIENTS Fifty-six consecutive children undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation at our institution from 2007 to 2015. Median age at arrest was 3.5 months (interquartile range, 1-53). SETTING Tertiary pediatric university hospital with a referral heart center. INTERVENTIONS Health-related quality of life and family functioning assessment with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and the McMaster Family Assessment Device. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Fifty-eight consecutive extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation episodes were included, with 46 (79.3%) related to primary cardiac conditions. Initial cannulation site was central in 19 (32.8%) and peripheral in 39 (67.2%). Survival to decannulation was 77.6% with survival at hospital discharge and at the end of the follow-up period being 65.5% and 62.1%, respectively. Time to follow-up was 38 months (interquartile range, 19-52). Patients who survived tended to be younger (3.5 mo [1 mo to 2 yr] vs 7 mo [1.25 mo to 17 yr]; p = 0.3) with decreased extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation times (28 min [15-47 min] vs 37.5 min [28.5-55 min]; p = 0.04). Those who received therapeutic hypothermia tended to have higher hospital survival (21/28 [75%] vs 16/29 [55%]; p = 0.08). Follow-up assessments of survivors demonstrated good quality of life and family functioning (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, 84 [76-89.5]; McMaster Family Assessment Device, 1.62 [1.33-1.83]). CONCLUSIONS In this series, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was associated with relatively high survival rates and a good health-related quality of life and family functioning. Larger series are needed to assess whether this technique should be more broadly available in the pediatric critical care community.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest occurs at a higher rate in children with heart disease than in healthy children. Pediatric basic life support and advanced life support guidelines focus on delivering high-quality resuscitation in children with normal hearts. The complexity and variability in pediatric heart disease pose unique challenges during resuscitation. A writing group appointed by the American Heart Association reviewed the literature addressing resuscitation in children with heart disease. MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases were searched from 1966 to 2015, cross-referencing pediatric heart disease with pertinent resuscitation search terms. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association classification of recommendations and levels of evidence for practice guidelines were used. The recommendations in this statement concur with the critical components of the 2015 American Heart Association pediatric basic life support and pediatric advanced life support guidelines and are meant to serve as a resuscitation supplement. This statement is meant for caregivers of children with heart disease in the prehospital and in-hospital settings. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of the high-risk pediatric cardiac population will promote early recognition and treatment of decompensation to prevent cardiac arrest, increase survival from cardiac arrest by providing high-quality resuscitations, and improve outcomes with postresuscitation care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides respiratory and hemodynamic support to pediatric patients in severe cardiac failure. We aim to identify risk factors associated with poorer outcomes in this population. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of pediatric patients requiring VA-ECMO support for cardiac indications at our institution from 2004 to 2015. Data were collected on demographics, indication, markers of cardiac output, ventricular assist device (VAD) insertion, heart transplantation, or left atrial (LA) decompression. Univariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for variables associated with the composite primary outcome of transplant-free survival (TFS). RESULTS Of the 68 reviewed patients, 65% were male, 84% were white, 38% had a prior surgery, 13% had a prior transplant, 10% had a prior ECMO support, and 87.5% required vasoactive support within six hours of cannulation. The ECMO indications included congenital heart disease repaired >30 days prior (12%), cardiomyopathy (41%), posttransplant rejection (7%), and cardiorespiratory failure (40%). The TFS was 54.5% at discharge and 47.7% at one year. Predictors of transplant and/or death include epinephrine use (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.269, P = .041), elevated lactate (HR = 1.081, P = 0005), and elevated creatinine (HR = 1.081, P = .005) within six hours prior to cannulation. Sixteen (23.6%) patients underwent LA decompression. Placement of VAD occurred in 16 (23.5%) patients, for which nonwhite race (HR = 2.94, P = .034) and prior ECMO (HR = 3.42, P = .053) were the only identified risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Need for VA-ECMO for cardiac support carries high inpatient morbidity and mortality. Epinephrine use and elevated lactate and creatinine were associated with especially poor outcomes. Patients who survived to discharge had good short-term follow-up results.

Abstract
Since the introduction of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), more neonates and children with cardiorespiratory failure survive. Interest has therefore shifted from reduction of mortality toward evaluation of long-term outcomes and prevention of morbidity. This review addresses the changes in ECMO population and the ECMO-treatment that may affect long-term outcomes, the diagnostic modalities to evaluate neurological morbidities and their contributions to prognostication of long-term outcomes. Most follow-up data have only become available from observational follow-up programs in neonatal ECMO-survivors. The main topics are discussed in this review. Recommendations for long-term follow up depend on the presence of neurological comorbidity, the nature and extent of the underlying disease, and the indication for ECMO. Follow up should preferably be offered as standard of care, and in an interdisciplinary, structured and standardized way. This permits evaluation of outcome data and effect of interventions. We propose a standardized approach and recommend that multiple domains should be evaluated during long-term follow up of neonates and children who needed extracorporeal life support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neurologic and functional morbidity occurs in ~30% of PICU survivors, and young children may be at particular risk. Bronchiolitis is a common indication for PICU admission among children less than 2 years old. Two single-center studies suggest that greater than 10-25% of critical bronchiolitis survivors have neurologic and functional morbidity but those estimates are 20 years old. We aimed to estimate the burden of neurologic and functional morbidity among more recent bronchiolitis patients using two large, multicenter databases. DESIGN Analysis of the Pediatric Health Information System and the Virtual Pediatric databases. SETTING Forty-eight U.S. children's hospitals (Pediatric Health Information System) and 40 international (mostly United States) children's hospitals (Virtual Pediatric Systems). PATIENTS Previously healthy PICU patients less than 2 years old admitted with bronchiolitis between 2009 and 2015 who survived and did not require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS None. Neurologic and functional morbidity was defined as a Pediatric Overall Performance Category greater than 1 at PICU discharge (Virtual Pediatric Systems subjects), or a subsequent hospital encounter involving developmental delay, feeding tubes, MRI of the brain, neurologist evaluation, or rehabilitation services (Pediatric Health Information System subjects). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 3,751 Virtual Pediatric Systems subjects and 9,516 Pediatric Health Information System subjects, ~20% of patients received mechanical ventilation. Evidence of neurologic and functional morbidity was present at PICU discharge in 707 Virtual Pediatric Systems subjects (18.6%) and more chronically in 1,104 Pediatric Health Information System subjects (11.6%). In both cohorts, neurologic and functional morbidity was more common in subjects receiving mechanical ventilation (27.5% vs 16.5% in Virtual Pediatric Systems; 14.5% vs 11.1% in Pediatric Health Information System; both p < 0.001). In multivariate models also including demographics, use of mechanical ventilation was the only variable that was associated with increased neurologic and functional morbidity in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS In two large, multicenter databases, neurologic and functional morbidity was common among previously healthy children admitted to the PICU with bronchiolitis. Prospective studies are needed to measure neurologic and functional outcomes using more precise metrics. Identification of modifiable risk factors may subsequently lead to improved outcomes from this common PICU condition.

Abstract
Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become an important treatment modality in pediatric patients with cardiopulmonary failure, but few studies have been conducted in Korea. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of pediatric patients younger than 18 years who were placed on ECMO between January 2004 and December 2014 at Samsung Medical Center. Results We identified 116 children on ECMO support. The overall rate of successful weaning was 51.7%, and the survival to discharge rate was 37.1%. There were 39, 61, and 16 patients on ECMO for respiratory, cardiac, and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, respectively. The weaning rate in each group was 48.7%, 55.7%, and 43.8%, respectively. The survival rate was 43.6%, 36.1%, and 25.0%, respectively. Sixteen patients on ECMO had functional single ventricle physiology; in this group, the weaning rate was 43.8% and the survival rate was 31.3%. Ten patients were on ECMO as a bridge to transplantation (8 for heart and 2 for lung). In patients with heart transplantation, the rate of survival to transplantation was 50.0%, and the overall rate of survival to discharge was 37.5%. Conclusion An increasing trend in pediatric ECMO utilization was observed. The outcomes were favorable considering the early experiences that were included in this study and the limited supply of specialized equipment for pediatric patients.
