Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the last decade, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use in critically ill children has increased and is associated with favorable outcomes. Our study aims to evaluate the current status of pediatric ECMO in Korea, with a specific focus on its volume and changes in survival rates based on diagnostic indications. METHODS This multicenter study retrospectively analyzed the indications and outcomes of pediatric ECMO over 10 years in patients at 14 hospitals in Korea from January 2012 to December 2021. Four diagnostic categories (neonatal respiratory, pediatric respiratory, post-cardiotomy, and cardiac-medical) and trends were compared between periods 1 (2012-2016) and 2 (2017-2021). RESULTS Overall, 1065 ECMO runs were performed on 1032 patients, with the annual number of cases remaining unchanged over the 10 years. ECMO was most frequently used for post-cardiotomy (42.4%), cardiac-medical (31.8%), pediatric respiratory (17.5%), and neonatal respiratory (8.2%) cases. A 3.7% increase and 6.1% decrease in pediatric respiratory and post-cardiotomy cases, respectively, were noted between periods 1 and 2. Among the four groups, the cardiac-medical group had the highest survival rate (51.2%), followed by the pediatric respiratory (46.4%), post-cardiotomy (36.5%), and neonatal respiratory (29.4%) groups. A consistent improvement was noted in patient survival over the 10 years, with a significant increase between the two periods from 38.2% to 47.1% (P = 0.004). Improvement in survival was evident in post-cardiotomy cases (30-45%, P = 0.002). Significant associations with mortality were observed in neonates, patients requiring dialysis, and those treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (P < 0.001). In pediatric respiratory ECMO, immunocompromised patients also showed a significant correlation with mortality (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Pediatric ECMO demonstrated a steady increase in overall survival in Korea; however, further efforts are needed since the outcomes remain suboptimal compared with global outcomes.

Prevalence of hematologic complications on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation in critically ill pediatric patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Thromb Res 2023; 222:75-84. [PMID: 36603406 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2022.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite advances in Extracorporeal Membranous Oxygenation (ECMO) equipment, hematologic complications remain significant in critically ill children. The aim of this study is to summarize prevalence of hematologic complications for children and neonates. METHODS MEDLINE, PubMed and Scopus databases were searched focusing on the period from January 01, 2017 to October 01, 2022. The population included critically ill children and neonates with hematologic complications. The review included all aspects of related complications including hemorrhage, thrombosis, and hemolysis. We performed random effects meta-analyses. The primary outcome measure was overall hematologic complications. Secondary outcomes are changes in the prevalence of hemorrhagic complications. Risk of bias of included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. RESULTS The systematic search identified 37 studies totaling 10,659 critically ill pediatric patients receiving ECMO. The pooled prevalence of hemorrhagic complications, thrombotic complications and hemolysis among pediatric patients requiring ECMO was 43.7 % (95 % CI: 28.6 % to 58.9 %, P < 0.001), 27.6 % (95 % CI: 20.4 % to 34.8 %, P < 0.001), 34.3 % (95 % CI: 22.9 % to 45.7 %, P < 0.001). The prevalence of hemorrhagic complications was represented in descending order: surgical site (21.6 %, 95 % CI: 10.3 % to 32.9 %); cannulation site (20.6 %, 95 % CI: 11.8 % to 29.3 %); intracranial (12.2 %, 95 % CI: 9.5 % to 15.0 %); pulmonary (7.7 %, 95 % CI: 5.9 % to 9.6 %); gastrointestinal (6.0 %, 3.7 % to 8.4 %). For the assessment of thrombotic complications, thrombosis in cannulation site had a higher prevalence (28.5 %, 95 % CI: 22.1 % to 34.9 %), followed by DIC (13.5 %, 95 % CI: 8.7 % to 18.3 %) and intracranial thrombosis (4.5 %, 95 % CI: 1.4 % to 7.6 %). Predictors of increased prevalence of hemorrhagic complications included age (P = 0.017) and VV-ECMO support mode (P = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Among critically ill pediatric patients, there was a series of hematologic complications can occur during ECMO support. Physicians should pay special attention to the management and establish appropriate treatment programs to reduce the occurrence of hematologic complications.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to identify prognostic factors based on treatment outcomes for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at a single-center and to identify factors that may improve these outcomes.Methods: Thirty-five neonates diagnosed with CDH between January 2011 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Pre- and postnatal factors were correlated and analyzed with postnatal clinical outcomes to determine the prognostic factors. Highest oxygenation index (OI) within 24 hours of birth was also calculated. Treatment strategy and outcome analysis of published literatures were also performed.Results: Overall survival rate of this cohort was 60%. Four patients were unable to undergo anesthesia and/or surgery. Three patients who commenced extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) post-surgery were non-survivors. Compared to the survivor group, the non-survivor group had a significantly higher occurrence of pneumothorax on the first day, need for high-frequency ventilator and inhaled nitric oxide use, and high OI within the first 24 hours. The non-survivor group showed an early trend towards the surgery timing and a greater number of patch closures. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.878 with a sensitivity of 76.2% and specificity of 92.9% at an OI cutoff value of 7.75.Conclusion: OI within 24 hours is a valuable predictor of survival. It is expected that the application of ECMO based on OI monitoring may help improve the opportunity for surgical repair, as well as the prognosis of CDH patients.
