J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2020; 34:698-705. [PMID: 31812567 PMCID: PMC7373020 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2019.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Revised: 10/06/2019] [Accepted: 10/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The most effective method of image guidance for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is not known. The authors' objectives were to define the frequency of successful initial cannulation using echocardiographic guidance in the intensive care unit, as well as to determine the frequency of subsequent adjustments. Additional aims were to illustrate cannula malposition problems and to describe features associated with difficult cannulation. DESIGN Retrospective consecutive case series analysis. SETTING Single tertiary care university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Forty-five patients treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The most common causes of respiratory failure were pneumonia, aspiration, and inhalational burn injury. Sixty-two percent survived to discharge. Initial cannulation was successful in 39 cases (87%). Adverse events included 5 cases of cannula malposition and 1 case of hemorrhagic shock. During the course of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, 17 patients (38%) required echo-guided cannula position adjustments. There were no fatal complications. Factors associated with difficult cannulation included extremes of size, a prominent Eustachian valve, and an anterior guidewire bending in the right atrium. Younger age was associated positively with survival. There was no significant association between adverse events during cannulation and survival. CONCLUSIONS Dual-lumen venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation in the intensive care unit under echo guidance has a high initial success rate, but many patients require subsequent repositioning. Echocardiography can define cannula position in sufficient detail to identify malposition precisely and to guide repositioning.

Abstract
Background Improvement of single site cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy is pivotal for reduction of patient morbidity and mortality in respiratory failure. To further improve the cardiopulmonary outcomes and reduce end organ damage, we established a murine model for single site cannulation with a double lumen cannula. Results We created a hemodynamically stable double lumen cannula and successfully implanted it through the jugular vein into the upper and lower vena cava. This allowed adequate drainage of the blood. Blood gas analysis showed excellent oxygenation and CO2 reduction. There was no excessive bleeding. No signs of right heart congestion were present which was confirmed in the histological analysis of the liver. Histology demonstrated moderate lung damage and mild acute kidney injury. Neutrophil infiltration was similar in ECMO and sham kidneys. Conclusions Veno-venous extracorporeal circulation deteriorates kidney function and promotes moderate pulmonary damage.

Extracorporeal Respiratory Support With a Miniature Integrated Pediatric Pump-Lung Device in an Acute Ovine Respiratory Failure Model. Artif Organs 2016; 40:1046-1053. [PMID: 27087252 DOI: 10.1111/aor.12705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2015] [Revised: 12/18/2015] [Accepted: 12/29/2015] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Respiratory failure is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. Therapeutic options to treat respiratory failure remain limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the gas transfer performance of a newly developed miniature portable integrated pediatric pump-lung device (PediPL) with small membrane surface for respiratory support in an acute ovine respiratory failure model. The respiratory failure was created in six adult sheep using intravenous anesthesia and reduced mechanical ventilation at 2 breaths/min. The PediPL device was surgically implanted and evaluated for respiratory support in a venovenous configuration between the right atrium and pulmonary artery. The hemodynamics and respiratory status of the animals during support with the device gas transfer performance of the PediPL were studied for 4 h. The animals exhibited respiratory failure 30 min after mechanical ventilation was reduced to 2 breaths/min, indicated by low oxygen partial pressure, low oxygen saturation, and elevated carbon dioxide in arterial blood. The failure was reversed by establishing respiratory support with the PediPL after 30 min. The rates of O2 transfer and CO2 removal of the PediPL were 86.8 and 139.1 mL/min, respectively. The results demonstrated that the PediPL (miniature integrated pump-oxygenator) has the potential to provide respiratory support as a novel treatment for both hypoxia and hypercarbia. The compact size of the PediPL could allow portability and potentially be used in many emergency settings to rescue patients suffering acute lung injury.

Veno-venous ECMO: a synopsis of nine key potential challenges, considerations, and controversies. BMC Anesthesiol 2014; 14:65. [PMID: 25110462 PMCID: PMC4126084 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2253-14-65] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2013] [Accepted: 07/30/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Following the 2009 H1N1 Influenza pandemic, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) emerged as a viable alternative in selected, severe cases of ARDS. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a major public health problem. Average medical costs for ARDS survivors on an annual basis are multiple times those dedicated to a healthy individual. Advances in medical and ventilatory management of severe lung injury and ARDS have improved outcomes in some patients, but these advances fail to consistently “rescue” a significant proportion of those affected. Discussion Here we present a synopsis of the challenges, considerations, and potential controversies regarding veno-venous ECMO that will be of benefit to anesthesiologists, surgeons, and intensivists, especially those newly confronted with care of the ECMO patient. We outline a number of points related to ECMO, particularly regarding cannulation, pump/oxygenator design, anticoagulation, and intravascular fluid management of patients. We then address these challenges/considerations/controversies in the context of their potential future implications on clinical approaches to ECMO patients, focusing on the development and advancement of standardized ECMO clinical practices. Summary Since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic ECMO has gained a wider acceptance. There are challenges that still must be overcome. Further investigations of the benefits and effects of ECMO need to be undertaken in order to facilitate the implementation of this technology on a larger scale.
