Abstract
Target values for arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are unknown. We hypothesized that lower PaCO2 values on ECMO would be associated with lighter sedation. We used data from two independent patient cohorts with ARDS spending 1,177 days (discovery cohort, 69 patients) and 516 days (validation cohort, 70 patients) on ECMO and evaluated the associations between daily PaCO2, pH, and bicarbonate (HCO3) with sedation. Median PaCO2 was 41 (interquartile range [IQR] = 37-46) mm Hg and 41 (IQR = 37-45) mm Hg in the discovery and the validation cohort, respectively. Lower PaCO2 and higher pH but not bicarbonate (HCO3) served as significant predictors for reaching a Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) target range of -2 to +1 (lightly sedated to restless). After multivariable adjustment for mortality, tracheostomy, prone positioning, vasoactive inotropic score, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II or Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score and day on ECMO, only PaCO2 remained significantly associated with the RASS target range (adjusted odds ratio 1.1 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.01-1.21], p = 0.032 and 1.29 [95% CI = 1.1-1.51], p = 0.001 per mm Hg decrease in PaCO2 for the discovery and the validation cohort, respectively). A PaCO2 ≤40 mm Hg, as determined by the concordance probability method, was associated with a significantly increased probability of a sedation level within the RASS target range in both patient cohorts (adjusted odds ratio = 2.92 [95% CI = 1.17-7.24], p = 0.021 and 6.82 [95% CI = 1.50-31.0], p = 0.013 for the discovery and the validation cohort, respectively).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A feared complication of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is cardiac arrest (CA). Even if return of spontaneous circulation is achieved, cardiogenic shock (CS) is common. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) supports patients with CS and is often used in conjunction with an Impella device (2.5 and CP) to off-load the left ventricle, although limited evidence supports this approach. METHODS The goal of this study was to determine whether a mortality difference was observed in VA-ECMO alone versus VA-ECMO with Impella (ECPELLA) in patients with CS from AMI and CA. A retrospective chart review of 50 patients with AMI-CS and CA and were supported with VA-ECMO (n = 34) or ECPELLA (n = 16) was performed. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 6-months from VA-ECMO or Impella implantation. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality and complication rates between both cohorts and intensive care unit data. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar, except patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction were more likely to be in the VA-ECMO group (p = 0.044). The ECPELLA cohort had significantly worse survival after VA-ECMO (SAVE) score (p = 0.032). Six-month all-cause mortality was not significantly different between the cohorts, even when adjusting for SAVE score. Secondary outcomes were notable for an increased rate of minor complications without an increased rate of major complications in the ECPELLA group. CONCLUSIONS Randomized trials are needed to determine if a mortality difference exists between VA-ECMO and ECPELLA platforms in patients with AMI complicated by CA and CS.

Outcomes of Lung Transplantation in Patients With Right Ventricular Dysfunction: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis Comparing ECMO Configurations in a Bridge-to-Transplant Setting. Transpl Int 2024; 37:12657.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the lung transplantation (LT) outcomes of patients with right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), focusing on the impact of various extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) configurations. We included adult patients who underwent LT with ECMO as a bridge-to-transplant from 2011 to 2021 at a single center. Among patients with RVD (n = 67), veno-venous (V-V) ECMO was initially applied in 79% (53/67) and maintained until LT in 52% (35/67). Due to the worsening of RVD, the configuration was changed from V-V ECMO to veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO or a right ventricular assist device with an oxygenator (Oxy-RVAD) in 34% (18/67). They showed that lactic acid levels (2-6.1 mmol/L) and vasoactive inotropic score (6.6-22.6) increased. V-A ECMO or Oxy-RVAD was initiated and maintained until LT in 21% (14/67) of cases. There was no significant difference in the survival rates among the three configuration groups (V-V ECMO vs. configuration changed vs. V-A ECMO/Oxy-RVAD). Our findings suggest that the choice of ECMO configuration for LT candidates with RVD should be determined by the patient's current hemodynamic status. Vital sign stability supports the use of V-V ECMO, while increasing lactic acid levels and vasopressor needs may require a switch to V-A ECMO or Oxy-RVAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide guidance on the reporting of norepinephrine formulation labeling, reporting in publications, and use in clinical practice. DESIGN Review and task force position statements with necessary guidance. SETTING A series of group conference calls were conducted from August 2023 to October 2023, along with a review of the available evidence and scope of the problem. SUBJECTS A task force of multinational and multidisciplinary critical care experts assembled by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. INTERVENTIONS The implications of a variation in norepinephrine labeled as conjugated salt (i.e., bitartrate or tartrate) or base drug in terms of effective concentration of norepinephrine were examined, and guidance was provided. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were significant implications for clinical care, dose calculations for enrollment in clinical trials, and results of datasets reporting maximal norepinephrine equivalents. These differences were especially important in the setting of collaborative efforts across countries with reported differences. CONCLUSIONS A joint task force position statement was created outlining the scope of norepinephrine-dose formulation variations, and implications for research, patient safety, and clinical care. The task force advocated for a uniform norepinephrine-base formulation for global use, and offered advice aimed at appropriate stakeholders.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study assessed medication patterns for inpatients at a central hospital in Portugal and explored their relationships with clinical outcomes in COVID-19 cases. METHODS A retrospective study analyzed inpatient medication data, coded using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system, from electronic patient records. It investigated the association between medications and clinical severity outcomes such as ICU admissions, respiratory/circulatory support needs, and hospital discharge status, including mortality (identified by ICD-10-CM/PCS codes). Multivariate analyses incorporating demographic data and comorbidities were used to adjust for potential confounders and understand the impact of medication patterns on disease progression and outcomes. RESULTS The analysis of 2688 hospitalized COVID-19 patients (55.3% male, average age 62.8 years) revealed a significant correlation between medication types and intensity and disease severity. Cases requiring ICU admission or ECMO support often involved blood and blood-forming organ drugs. Increased use of nervous system and genitourinary hormones was observed in nonsurvivors. Corticosteroids, like dexamethasone, were common in critically ill patients, while tocilizumab was used in ECMO cases. Medications for the alimentary tract, metabolism, and cardiovascular system, although widely prescribed, were linked to more severe cases. Invasive mechanical ventilation correlated with higher usage of systemic anti-infectives and musculoskeletal medications. Trends in co-prescribing blood-forming drugs with those for acid-related disorders, analgesics, and antibacterials were associated with intensive interventions and worse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The study highlights complex medication regimens in managing severe COVID-19, underscoring specific drug patterns associated with critical health outcomes. Further research is needed to explore these patterns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The authors investigated the role of early venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) implantation in patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) on mortality and morbidity when integrating vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) and type of catecholamine support. DESIGN A retrospective, multicenter, observational study with propensity-weight matching. SETTING Four university-affiliated intensive care units. PARTICIPANTS Patients with PCS in the operating room. INTERVENTIONS Early VA ECMO support. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 2,742 patients screened during the study period, 424 (16%) patients were treated with inotropic drugs, and 75 (3%) patients were supported by VA ECMO in the operating room. Patients supported by VA ECMO had a higher use of vasopressor and inotropic drugs, with a higher VIS score. After propensity matching (integrating VIS and catecholamines type), mortality (56% v 20%, p < 0.001) and morbidity (cardiac, renal, transfusion) were higher in patients supported by VA ECMO than in a matched control group. CONCLUSIONS When matching integrated the pre-ECMO VIS and the type of catecholamines, VA ECMO remained associated with high mortality and morbidity, suggesting that VIS alone should not be used as a main determinant of VA ECMO implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is utilized as a rescue therapy in the management of pediatric patients with refractory septic shock. Multiple studies support the use of a central cannulation strategy in these patients. This study aimed to assess the survival of and identify mortality risk factors in pediatric patients supported with peripheral veno-arterial (VA) ECMO in the setting of septic shock. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed and compared clinical characteristics of 40 pediatric patients supported with peripheral VA ECMO for refractory septic shock, at two tertiary care children's hospitals from 2006 to 2020. Our hypothesis was that peripheral VA ECMO is effective in supporting cardiac function and improving tissue oxygenation in most pediatric patients with refractory septic shock. RESULTS The overall rate of survival to discharge was 52.5%, comparable to previously reported survival for pediatric sepsis on ECMO. With the exclusion of patients with an oncologic process, the survival rate rose to 62.5%. There was a statistically significant difference in mean pump flow rates within 2 hours of initiation of ECMO between survivors and non-survivors (98 mL/kg/min vs 76 mL/kg/min, P = .050). There was no significant difference between pre-ECMO vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) in survivors and non-survivors. A faster decrease in VIS in the first 24 hours was associated with lower mortality. CONCLUSIONS From this large case series, we conclude that peripheral VA ECMO is a safe and effective modality to support pediatric patients with refractory septic shock, provided there is establishment of high ECMO pump flows in the first few hours after cannulation and improvement in the VIS.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) serves as an indicator of the extent of cardiovascular drug support provided. Our objective is to assess the relationship between the VIS and ECMO-associated AKI (EAKI). This single-center retrospective study extracted adult patients treated with ECMO between August 2016 and September 2022 from an intensive care unit (ICU) in a university hospital. A total of 126 patients requiring ECMO support were included in the study, of which 76% developed AKI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified VIS-max Day1 (odds ratio [OR]: 1.025, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.007-1.044, p = 0.006), VIS-max Day2 (OR: 1.038, 95% CI: 1.007-1.069, p = 0.015), VIS-mean Day1 (OR: 1.048, 95% CI: 1.013-1.084, p = 0.007), and VIS-mean Day2 (OR: 1.059, 95% CI: 1.014-1.107, p = 0.010) as independent risk factors for EAKI. VIS-max Day1 showing the best predictive effect (Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC): 0.80, sensitivity: 71.87%, specificity: 80.00%) for EAKI with a cutoff value of 33.33. Surprisingly, VIS-mean Day2 was also excellent at predicting 7 day mortality (AUROC: 0.77, sensitivity: 87.50%, specificity: 56.38%) with a cutoff value of 8.67. In conclusion, VIS could independently predict EAKI and 7 day mortality in patients with ECMO implantation, which may help clinicians to recognize the poor prognosis in time for early intervention.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous blood purification (CBP) in neonates with septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI). This retrospective study was conducted at two tertiary care children's hospitals between January 2015 and May 2022. A total of 26 neonates with septic shock and AKI were included in this study, with a mortality rate of 50%. Fourteen neonates (53.8%) received continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration, and 12 (46.2%) received continuous veno-venous hemofiltration. Compared with the indices before CBP, urine output increased 12 h after CBP initiation (P = 0.003) and serum creatinine decreased (P = 0.019). After 24 h of CBP, blood urea nitrogen had decreased (P = 0.006) and mean arterial pressure had increased (P = 0.007). At the end of CBP, the vasoactive-inotropic score and blood lactate were decreased (P = 0.035 and 0.038, respectively) and PH was increased (P = 0.015). Thrombocytopenia was the most common complication of CBP. Conclusion: CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. However, the mortality rate remains high, and whether CBP improves the prognosis of neonates with septic shock and AKI remains unclear. What is Known: • Over 50% of children with septic shock have severe AKI, of which 21.6% required CBP. • The clinical application of CBP in septic shock has attracted increasing attention. What is New: • CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. • The mortality rate in neonates with septic shock and AKI receiving CBP remains high.

Short-Term Mortality Among Pediatric Patients With Heart Diseases Undergoing Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e029571. [PMID: 38063152 PMCID: PMC10863771 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.029571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation serves as a crucial mechanical circulatory support for pediatric patients with severe heart diseases, but the mortality rate remains high. The objective of this study was to assess the short-term mortality in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for observational studies that evaluated the short-term mortality of pediatric patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. To estimate short-term mortality, we used random-effects meta-analysis. Furthermore, we conducted meta-regression and binomial regression analyses to investigate the risk factors associated with the outcome of interest. We systematically reviewed 28 eligible references encompassing a total of 1736 patients. The pooled analysis demonstrated a short-term mortality (defined as in-hospital or 30-day mortality) of 45.6% (95% CI, 38.7%-52.4%). We found a significant difference (P<0.001) in mortality rates between acute fulminant myocarditis and congenital heart disease, with acute fulminant myocarditis exhibiting a lower mortality rate. Our findings revealed a negative correlation between older age and weight and short-term mortality in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Male sex, bleeding, renal damage, and central cannulation were associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality. CONCLUSIONS The short-term mortality among pediatric patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe heart diseases was 45.6%. Patients with acute fulminant myocarditis exhibited more favorable survival rates compared with those with congenital heart disease. Several risk factors, including male sex, bleeding, renal damage, and central cannulation contributed to an increased risk of short-term mortality. Conversely, older age and greater weight appeared to be protective factors.

Pediatr Nephrol 2023; 38:3145-3152. [PMID: 36988692 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-05944-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) has been expanded from simple kidney replacement therapy to the field of critical illness in children. However, CKRT is rarely used in critically ill neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study aimed to describe patients' clinical characteristics at admission and CKRT initiation, CKRT effects, short-term outcomes, and predictors of death in critically ill neonates. METHODS A 7-year single-center retrospective study in a tertiary NICU. RESULTS Thirty-nine critically ill neonates received CKRT between May 2015 and April 2022 with a mortality rate of 35.9%. The most common primary diagnosis was neonatal sepsis in 15 cases (38.5%). Continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration were applied in 43.6% and 56.4% of neonates, respectively. The duration of CKRT was 44 (18, 72) h. Thirty-one patients (79.5%) had complications due to CKRT-related adverse events, and the most common complication was thrombocytopenia. Approximately 12 h after the CKRT initiation, urine volume, mean arterial pressure, and pH were increased, and serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and blood lactate were decreased. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, neonatal critical illness score [odds ratio 0.886 (0.786 ~ 0.998), P = 0.046] was an independent risk factor for death in critically ill neonates who received CKRT. CONCLUSIONS CKRT can be an effective and feasible technique in critically ill neonates, but the overall mortality and CKRT-related complications are relatively high. Furthermore, the probability of death is greater among neonates with greater severity of illness at CKRT initiation. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Extracorporeal life support with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is used to assist circulation in patients with severe cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) is a standardized calculation of vasoactive medication support which uses coefficients for each medication that converts them to an equivalent value. The purpose of this study was to assess the VIS as an early prognostication tool for survival to decannulation patients on adult VA-ECMO support. This was a single-center, observational cohort study of adult patients who received VA-ECMO support compared based on their survival to decannulation. The primary endpoint was the VIS at hour 24 postcannulation. Among the 265 patients included in this study, 140 patients (52.8%) survived to decannulation of VA-ECMO. At 24 hours postcannulation, a lower VIS was observed in the group that survived decannulation (6.5 ± 7.5 vs. 12.3 ± 16.9; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis performed also demonstrates an association between 24-hour VIS and survival to decannulation (odds ratio 0.95; 95% confidence interval, 0.91-0.95). This study suggests that the 24-hour VIS may be an early prognostic indicator in patients on VA-ECMO patients. http://links.lww.com/ASAIO/B39.

Phase angle as a marker of outcome in hospitalized pediatric patients. A systematic review of the evidence (GRADE) with meta-analysis. Rev Endocr Metab Disord 2023; 24:751-765. [PMID: 37486555 PMCID: PMC10404571 DOI: 10.1007/s11154-023-09817-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Phase angle (PhA) is a valuable tool for evaluating the nutritional and inflammatory status, which can accompany acute and severe disorders. PhA is a cellular health biomarker, whose value is particularly substantial due to the negative consequences of these situations in the pediatric population. Relevant literature was collected with the aim of comprehensively analysing the evidence on the association between an altered PhA can serve as a predictive-marker for mortality and poor-outcomes in at-risk-pediatric patients. Understanding this relationship could have significant implications for identifying high-risk individuals and implementing timely interventions. A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted in the primary electronic databases from inception until January 2023. Overall, four studies with a total of 740 patients were eligible for our analysis. Evidence demonstrates that PhA is associated with nutritional status, reflecting undernutrition and changes in body composition related to illness. This review suggests that PhA can indeed be used as an indicator of nutritional status and a tool for predicting prognosis, including mortality and poor-outcomes, in hospitalized pediatric patients. A low PhA was associated with a significant mortality risk [RR:1.51;95%CI (1.22-1.88),p = 0.0002;I2 = 0%,(p = 0.99)] and an increased complications risk [OR:8.17;95%CI (2.44-27.4),p = 0.0007;I2 = 44%,(p = 0.18)]. These findings highlight the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to clinical nutrition, integrating multiple evaluation aspects to establish an accurate diagnosis and personalized therapeutic plans. While PhA emerges as a valuable tool for assessing the risk of malnutrition and as a prognostic-indicator for poor-outcomes in pediatric patients. Further future studies are needed to focus on investigating this relationship in larger and diverse population to strengthen the evidence base.

Abstract
We hypothesize that (1) a significant pre-ECMO liver impairment, which is evident in the presence of pre-ECMO acute liver injury and a higher pre-ECMO MELD (model for end-stage liver disease) score, is associated with increased mortality; and (2) the requirement of veno-veno-arterial (V-VA) ECMO support is linked to a higher prevalence of pre-ECMO acute liver injury, a higher pre-ECMO MELD score, and increased mortality. We analyze 187 ECMO runs (42 V-VA and 145 veno-venous (V-V) ECMO) between January 2017 and December 2020. The SAPS II score is calculated at ICU admission; hepatic function and MELD score are assessed at ECMO initiation (pre-ECMO) and during the first five days on ECMO. SOFA, PRESERVE and RESP scores are calculated at ECMO initiation. Pre-ECMO cardiac failure, acute liver injury, ECMO type, SAPS II and MELD, SOFA, PRESERVE, and RESP scores are associated with mortality. However, only the pre-ECMO MELD score independently predicts mortality (p = 0.04). In patients with a pre-ECMO MELD score > 16, V-VA ECMO is associated with a higher mortality risk (p = 0.0003). The requirement of V-VA ECMO is associated with the development of acute liver injury during ECMO support, a higher pre-ECMO MELD score, and increased mortality.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To investigate the risk factors for death in critically ill neonates receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of critically ill neonates receiving CRRT at two tertiary hospitals from January 2015 to December 2021. A multi-factor logistic regression analysis was performed, and the predictive value of relevant risk factors on death was verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. A total of 59 cases of critically ill neonates were included in this study, with a mortality of 37.3%. The most common primary disease in these cases was neonatal sepsis, followed by neonatal asphyxia, and inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Univariate analysis showed that the risk factors related to death included primary diseases; the number of organs involved in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), neonatal critical illness scores (NCIS), and indications of CRRT; the blood lactate, blood glucose, hemoglobin, and platelet before CRRT initiation; and the incidence of bleeding or thrombosis during CRRT. Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for death in critically ill neonates receiving CRRT included the occurrence of neonatal sepsis, the number of organs involved in MODS, and the NCIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the number of organs involved in MODS and NCIS had a good predictive value for death in critically ill neonates receiving CRRT, with the areas under the curve (AUC) being 0.700 and 0.810, respectively. CONCLUSION Neonatal sepsis, the number of organs involved in MODS, and NCIS were independent risk factors for death in critically ill neonates receiving CRRT. Moreover, the number of organs involved in MODS and NCIS could effectively predict death in critically ill neonates receiving CRRT. WHAT IS KNOWN • The population to which CRRT is applicable is gradually expanding from critically ill children to critically ill neonates. • The mortality of critically ill neonates receiving CRRT remains high. WHAT IS NEW • The most common primary disease in critically ill neonates receiving CRRT was neonatal sepsis, followed by neonatal asphyxia and inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). • The number of organs involved in MODS and NCIS could effectively predict death in critically ill neonates receiving CRRT.
