Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may improve survival in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, presence of immunosuppression is a relative contraindication for ECMO, which is withheld in HIV patients. We performed a systematic review to investigate the outcome of newly diagnosed HIV patients with ARDS receiving ECMO support. Our search yielded 288 publications, with 22 studies finally included. Initial presentation included fever, respiratory distress, and cough. Severe immunodeficiency was confirmed in most patients. Deceased patients had a higher viral load, a lower Horovitz index, and antiretroviral therapy utilized before ECMO. Moreover, ECMO duration was longer ( p = 0.0134), and all deceased suffered from sepsis ( p = 0.0191). Finally, despite the development of therapeutic options for HIV patients, ECMO remains a relative contraindication. We found that ECMO may successfully bridge the time for pulmonary recovery in 93% of patients, with a very good outcome. Using ECMO, the time for antimicrobial therapy, lung-protective ventilation, and immune system restitution may be gained. Further studies clarifying the role of ECMO in HIV are crucial and until these data are available, ECMO might be appropriate in immunocompromised patients. This holds especially true in newly diagnosed HIV patients, who are usually young, without comorbidities, with a good rehabilitation potential.

Artif Organs 2023; 47:1654-1662. [PMID: 37358935 DOI: 10.1111/aor.14604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mobilization is important in longer courses in intensive care unit (ICU), typical for patients requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). For patients supported with ECMO, especially out-of-bed mobilizations improve outcome. We hypothesized that utilization of a dual lumen cannula (DLC) for V-V ECMO would facilitate out-of-bed mobilization compared to single lumen cannulas (SLC). METHODS Retrospective single center registry study including all V-V ECMO patients cannulated between 10/2010 and 05/2021 for respiratory failure. RESULTS The registry included 355 V-V ECMO patients (median age 55.6 years, 31.8% female, 27.3% with preexisting pulmonary disease), 289/355 (81.4%) primary cannulated with DLC, and 66/355 (18.6%) using SLC. Both groups had similar pre-ECMO characteristics. The runtime of the first ECMO cannula was significantly longer in DLC compared to SLC (169 vs. 115 h, p = 0.015). The frequency of prone positioning during V-V ECMO was similar in both groups (38.4 vs. 34.8%, p = 0.673). There was no difference in in-bed mobilization (41.2 vs. 36.4%, for DLC and SLC, respectively, p = 0.491). Patients with DLC were more often mobilized out-of-bed (25.6 vs. 12.1%, OR 2.495 [95% CI 1.150 to 5.268], for DLC and SLC, respectively, p = 0.023). Hospital survival was similar in both groups (46.4 vs. 39.4%, for DLC and SLC, respectively, p = 0.339). CONCLUSION Patients cannulated with a dual lumen cannula for V-V ECMO support were significantly more often mobilized out-of-bed. Since mobilization is important in prolonged ICU courses typical for ECMO patients, this might be an important benefit. Other benefits of DLC were the longer runtime of the initial cannula set and fewer suction events.

Abstract
AIMS Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a widely used technique to support neonates with severe respiratory failure. Data on percutaneous, ultrasound-guided veno-venous (VV) ECMO cannulation in neonates is still scarce. Aim of this study was to describe our institutional experience with ultrasound-guided percutaneous, VV ECMO cannulation in neonates with severe respiratory failure. METHODS Neonates receiving ECMO support at our department between January 2017 and January 2021 were retrospectively identified. Patients receiving VV ECMO cannulation performed by the percutaneous Seldinger technique by single- or multisite cannulation were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 54 neonates received ECMO cannulation performed by the percutaneous Seldinger technique. In 39 patients (72%) a 13 French bicaval dual-lumen cannula was inserted and in 15 patients (28%) two single-lumen cannulae were used. Cannulae positioning using the multisite approach was in all cases as desired. The tip of the 13 French cannula was located in the IVC in 35/39 patients, in four patients position was too proximal but did not dislocate during the ECMO run. One (2%) preterm neonate (weight 1.75 kg) developed a cardiac tamponade which was successfully managed with drainage. Median duration of ECMO was 7 days (interquartile range: 5-16 days). Forty-four patients (82%) were successfully weaned from ECMO and in 31/44 (71%) the ECMO cannulae were removed with a delay of 0.9-7.2 days (median 2.8 days) after weaning without noticing complications. CONCLUSIONS A correct cannula placement using the ultrasound-guided percutaneous Seldinger technique, for both single- and multisite cannulation, seems feasible in most neonatal patients receiving VV ECMO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used for severe neonatal respiratory failure refractory to conventional treatments. This paper summarizes our operation experience of neonatal ECMO via cannulation of the internal jugular vein and carotid artery. METHODS The clinical data of 12 neonates with severe respiratory failure who underwent ECMO via the internal jugular vein and carotid artery in our hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were collected. RESULTS All neonates were successfully operated on. The size of arterial intubation was 8 F, and the size of venous intubation was 10 F. The operation time was 29 (22-40) minutes. ECMO was successfully removed in 8 neonates. Surgeons successfully reconstructed the internal jugular vein and carotid artery of these neonates. Arterial blood flow was unobstructed in 5 patients, mild stenosis was present in 2 patients, and moderate stenosis was present in 1 patient. Venous blood flow was unobstructed in 6 patients, mild stenosis was present in 1 patient, and moderate stenosis was present in 1 patient. The complications were as follows: 1 case had poor neck incision healing after ECMO removal. No complications, such as incisional bleeding, incisional infection, catheter-related blood infection, cannulation accidentally pulling away, vascular laceration, thrombosis, cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or haemolysis, occurred in any of the patients. CONCLUSION Cannulation of the internal jugular vein and carotid artery can quickly establish effective ECMO access for neonates with severe respiratory failure. Careful, skilled and delicate operation was essential. In addition, during the cannulation process, we should pay special attention to the position of cannulation, firm fixation and strict aseptic operation.

Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Impairs Bradykinin-Induced Relaxation in Neonatal Porcine Coronary Arteries. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092083.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving support for respiratory and cardiovascular failure. However, ECMO induces a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that can lead to various complications, including endothelial dysfunction in the cerebral circulation. We aimed to investigate whether ECMO-associated endothelial dysfunction also affected coronary circulation. Ten-day-old piglets were randomized to undergo either 8 h of veno-arterial ECMO (n = 5) or no treatment (Control, n = 5). Hearts were harvested and coronary arteries were dissected and mounted as 3 mm rings in organ baths for isometric force measurement. Following precontraction with the thromboxane prostanoid (TP) receptor agonist U46619, concentration−response curves to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator bradykinin (BK) and the nitric oxide (NO) donor (endothelium-independent vasodilator) sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were performed. Relaxation to BK was studied in the absence or presence of the NO synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester HCl (L-NAME). U46619-induced contraction and SNP-induced relaxation were similar in control and ECMO coronary arteries. However, BK-induced relaxation was significantly impaired in the ECMO group (30.4 ± 2.2% vs. 59.2 ± 2.1%; p < 0.0001). When L-NAME was present, no differences in BK-mediated relaxation were observed between the control and ECMO groups. Taken together, our data suggest that ECMO exposure impairs endothelium-derived NO-mediated coronary relaxation. However, there is a NO-independent component in BK-induced relaxation that remains unaffected by ECMO. In addition, the smooth muscle cell response to exogenous NO is not altered by ECMO exposure.

Helicopter inter-hospital transfer for patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a retrospective 12-year analysis of a service system. Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med 2022; 30:33. [PMID: 35526029 PMCID: PMC9077885 DOI: 10.1186/s13049-022-01018-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are critically ill and show high mortality. Inter-hospital transfer of these patients has to be safe, with high survival rates during transport without potentially serious and life-threatening adverse events. The Swiss Air-Rescue provides 24-h/7-days per week inter-hospital helicopter transfers that include on-site ECMO cannulation if needed. This retrospective observational study describes adverse events of patients on ECMO transported by helicopter, and their associated survival. Methods All patients on ECMO with inter-hospital transfer by helicopter from start of service in February 2009 until May 2021 were included. Patients not transported by helicopter or with missing medical records were excluded. Patient demographics (age, sex) and medical history (type of and reason for ECMO), mission details (flight distance, times, primary or secondary transport), adverse events during the inter-hospital transfer, and survival of transferred patients were recorded. The primary endpoint was patient survival during transfer. Secondary endpoints were adverse events during transfer and 28-day survival. Results We screened 214 ECMO-related missions and included 191 in this analysis. Median age was 54.6 [IQR 46.1–62.0] years, 70.7% were male, and most patients had veno-arterial ECMO (56.5%). The main reasons for ECMO were pulmonary (46.1%) or cardiac (44.0%) failure. Most were daytime (69.8%) and primary missions (n = 100), median total mission time was 182.0 [143.0–254.0] min, and median transfer distance was 52.7 [33.2–71.1] km. All patients survived the transfer. Forty-four adverse events were recorded during 37 missions (19.4%), where 31 (70.5%) were medical and none resulted in patient harm. Adverse events occurred more frequently during night-time missions (59.9%, p = 0.047). Data for 28-day survival were available for 157 patients, of which 86 (54.8%) were alive. Conclusion All patients under ECMO survived the helicopter transport. Adverse events were observed for about 20% of the flight missions, with a tendency during the night-time flights, none harmed the patients. Inter-hospital transfer for patients undergoing ECMO provided by 24-h/7-d per week helicopter emergency medical service teams can be considered as feasible and safe. The majority of the patients (54.8%) were still alive after 28 days. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13049-022-01018-0.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute cardiac and/or respiratory failure has grown exponentially in the past several decades. Systemic anticoagulation is a fundamental element of caring for ECMO patients. Hemostatic management during ECMO walks a fine line to balance the risk of safe and effective anticoagulant delivery to mitigate thromboembolic complications and minimizing hemorrhagic sequelae. This review discusses the pharmacology, monitoring parameters, and special considerations for anticoagulation in patients requiring ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing frequency of oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients seen in the intensive care unit and requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), however, prognosis of this population over time is unclear. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane and Web of Science were searched from earliest publication until April 10, 2020 for studies to determine the mortality trend over time in oncology and HSCT patients requiring ECMO. Primary outcome was hospital mortality. Random-effects meta-analysis model was used to obtain pooled estimates of mortality and 95% confidence intervals. A priori subgroup metanalysis compared adult versus pediatric, oncology versus HSCT, hematological malignancy versus solid tumor, allogeneic versus autologous HSCT, and veno-arterial versus veno-venous ECMO populations. Multivariable meta-regression was also performed for hospital mortality to account for year of study and HSCT population. RESULTS 17 eligible observational studies (n = 1109 patients) were included. Overall pooled hospital mortality was 72% (95% CI: 65, 78). In the subgroup analysis, only HSCT was associated with a higher hospital mortality compared to oncology subgroup [84% (95% CI: 70, 93) vs. 66% (95% CI: 56, 74); P = 0.021]. Meta-regression showed that HSCT was associated with increased mortality [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.84 (95% CI 1.77, 8.31)], however, mortality improved with time [aOR 0.92 (95% CI: 0.85, 0.99) with each advancing year]. CONCLUSION This study reports a high overall hospital mortality in oncology and HSCT patients on ECMO which improved over time. The presence of HSCT portends almost a 4-fold increased risk of mortality and this finding may need to be taken into consideration during patient selection for ECMO.
