Abstract
Background/Aim: Intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being used with increasing frequency in lung transplantation. However, the factors associated with the use of intraoperative ECMO in lung transplant patients are not yet conclusive. In this study, we aimed to determine the effective factors for providing intraoperative ECMO support in patients undergoing lung transplantation. In addition, we aimed to evaluate the effect of ECMO support on morbidity and mortality.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study evaluating lung transplant patients, patients were divided into two groups: those who received intraoperative ECMO support and those who did not. Demographic data, the lung allocation score (LAS) and pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), intraoperative data, postoperative complications, duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), length of stay (LOS) in intensive care and hospital, and mortality rates were recorded for both groups. Factors affecting entry to ECMO were analyzed by Multivariate Logistic Regression.
Results: In this period, 51.9% of 87 patients who underwent lung transplantation required intraoperative ECMO. The mean age, LAS, and PAP of the ECMO group were significantly higher than the non-ECMO group (P = 0.043, P = 0.007, and P = 0.007, respectively). In multivariate analysis, it was found that lower MAP averages were a predictive parameter in intraoperative ECMO requirements (OR: 1.091; CI: 1.009-1.179; P = 0.028). The ECMO group’s mechanical ventilation time and hospital mortality were significantly higher than the other group (P = 0.004 and P = 0.025, respectively).
Conclusion: Preoperative indicators of intraoperative ECMO support were determined as age, LAS, and PAP elevation. In addition, low MAP levels and high lactate levels were always determined as intraoperative indicators in lung transplantation until the transition to ECMO support.

The role of intraoperative pulmonary arterial catheterization data in determining the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in lung transplantation. TURKISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2021; 29:480-486. [PMID: 35096445 PMCID: PMC8762920 DOI: 10.5606/tgkdc.dergisi.2021.20485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Background
This study aims to investigate predictive factors of identification of the need of patients for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during lung transplantation.
Methods
A total of 63 patients (49 males, 14 females, mean age: 44.9±14.4 years; range, 14 to 64 years) who underwent lung transplantation in our institution between December 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics and perioperative clinical data of patients were recorded. After induction and pulmonary artery catheterization, cardiac output, mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, cardiac index, pulmonary vascular resistance, systemic vascular resistance, and right atrial pressure were measured using the thermodilution technique.
Results
Thirty-three of the patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during surgery. The right atrial pressure (p<0.001), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (p<0.002), mean pulmonary artery pressure (p<0.001), and pulmonary vascular resistance (p<0.001) were statistically significantly higher in the patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support intraoperatively. The systemic vascular resistance (p<0.032) was statistically significantly lower in the patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support intraoperatively. A mean pulmonary artery pressure of >39 mmHg (p<0.02) and a right atrial pressure of >12 mmHg (p<0.047) were independent risk factors for ECMO support intraoperatively during lung transplantation.
Conclusion
Predicting the need of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support is of utmost importance in timing the need for mechanical support, protecting the new graft from high mechanical ventilator pressures, and adequately maintaining hemodynamic stability.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the field of lung transplantation has rapidly expanded over the past 30 years. It has become an important tool in an increasing number of specialized centers as a bridge to transplantation and in the intra-operative and/or post-operative setting. ECMO is an extremely versatile tool in the field of lung transplantation as it can be used and adapted in different configurations with several potential cannulation sites according to the specific need of the recipient. For example, patients who need to be bridged to lung transplantation often have hypercapnic respiratory failure that may preferably benefit from veno-venous (VV) ECMO or peripheral veno-arterial (VA) ECMO in the case of hemodynamic instability. Moreover, in an intra-operative setting, VV ECMO can be maintained or switched to a VA ECMO. The routine use of intra-operative ECMO and its eventual prolongation in the post-operative period has been widely investigated in recent years by several important lung transplantation centers in order to assess the graft function and its potential protective role on primary graft dysfunction and on ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review will assess the current evidence on the role of ECMO in the different phases of lung transplantation, while analyzing different studies on pre, intra- and post-operative utilization of this extracorporeal support.

Abstract
Background Lactic acidosis is often seen in lung transplantation (LTx). Postoperative lactate is frequently associated with poor outcome in postoperative and critically ill patients. Our aim was to evaluate the predictive value of postoperative peak lactate levels within 72 h of LTx for 30-day and late mortality. Methods We evaluated patients who underwent LTx from January 2015 to September 2017. All admitted patients were classified according to the peak lactate level (PL) within 72 h of surgery: PL <5 mmol/L (Group 1); PL =5–10 mmol/L (Group 2), and PL >10 mmol/L (Group 3). We performed logistic regression analysis and used Cox regression models to identify the peak lactate level as a predictive factor for 30-day and late mortality, respectively. Results Of 255 eligible patients, mean age 55.61±12.16, mean lactate 4.99±2.93 and 80% male, and 40% had hyperlactatemia (PL >5 mmol/L) after LTx. The 30-day mortality rate was 17.9%, 28.9% and 68.8% in the three groups, respectively (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analyses revealed postoperative PL as a notable predictor of 30-day mortality [odds ratio =2.62 (1.42–4.84), P=0.002] as well as for late mortality [hazard ratio =2.70 (1.13–6.42), P=0.025]. Conclusions The postoperative peak lactate level within 72 h of surgery was an independent predictor for 30-day and late mortality in LTx patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being applied as life-support for lung transplantation patients. However, factors associated with this procedure in lung transplantation patients have not yet been characterized. The aim of this study was to identify preoperative factors of intraoperative ECMO support during lung transplantation and to evaluated the outcome of lung transplantation patients supported with ECMO. METHODS Patients underwent lung transplantation treated with and without ECMO in Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases between January 2015 to August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and clinical variables were collected and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors independently associated with intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during lung transplantation. RESULTS During the study period, 138 patients underwent lung transplantation at our institution, the mean LAS was (56.63 ± 18.39) (range, 32.79 to 88.70). Fourty four patients were treated with veno-venous/veno-arterial ECMO. Among the patients, 32 patients wean successfully ECMO after operation, 12 patients remain ECMO after operation, and 32 patients (62.74%) survived to hospital discharge. In multiple analysis, the following factors were associated with intraoperative ECMO support: advanced age, high PAP before operation, duration of mechanical ventilation before operation, a higher APACHE II and primary diagnosis for transplantation. The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 12 months were 90.91, 72.73, and 56.81% in the ECMO group, and 95.40, 82.76, and 73.56% in the non-ECMO group, respectively (log-rank P = 0.081). Patients who underwent single lung transplant had a lower survival rates in ECMO group as compared with non-ECMO group at 1, 3, and 12 months (90.47% vs 98.25, 71.43% vs 84.21, and 52.38% vs 75.44%) (log-rank P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS The preoperative factors of intraoperative ECMO support during lung transplantation included age, high PAP before operation, preoperative mechanical ventilation, a higher APACHE II and primary diagnosis for transplantation based on multivariate analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predictors and outcomes of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during lung transplantation (LUTX) for cystic fibrosis (CF) are unknown. METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical data at enlistment of the CF patients who underwent double LUTX from January 2013 to December 2018 at an Italian tertiary referral center. We compared blood transfusions, incidence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD), duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS and survival of ECMO and non-ECMO patients. Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and log-rank tests were used. RESULTS Twenty-eight (40%) of the 70 included patients needed intraoperative central veno-arterial ECMO with postoperative veno-venous prolongation in 6 subjects. Lower right ventricle ejection fraction (p = 0.013, OR 0.92(0.86-0.98)), higher oxygen requirement (p = 0.026, OR 1.39(1.01-1.90)), lower body surface area (p = 0.044, OR 0.05(0.00-1.03)), and CF-related diabetes (p = 0.044, OR 2.81(1.03-7.66)) were associated with intraoperative ECMO. Compared to non-ECMO patients, ECMO patients needed almost fivefold intraoperative transfusion (2227 mL vs. 570 mL, p<0.001) and had PGD grade > 0 at 72 h more frequently (16/57% vs. 12/28%, p = 0.017, OR 3.33(1.22-9.09)). Mechanical ventilation, ICU LOS and hospital LOS were significantly longer in ECMO patients. Survival at follow-up (651(326-1277) days) of ECMO and non-ECMO patients was 78% vs. 83%, respectively (OR 0.73 (0.21-2.46), p = 0.616, log-rank test p = 0.498). CONCLUSION Pre-operative risk assessment and clinical planning should be done according to the predictors above. While undeniably useful as a life-saving procedure, ECMO during LUTX for CF is associated with worsened short-term outcomes. ECMO should be implemented weighing its risk and benefits.

Abstract
Background: Lung transplantation has been increasingly performed worldwide and is considered an effective therapy for patients with various causes of end-stage lung diseases. We performed a systematic review to assess the incidence and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) and severe AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients after lung transplantation. Methods: A literature search was conducted utilizing Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database from inception through June 2019. We included studies that evaluated the incidence of AKI, severe AKI requiring RRT, and mortality risk of AKI among patients after lung transplantation. Pooled incidence and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were obtained using random-effects meta-analysis. The protocol for this meta-analysis is registered with PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews; no. CRD42019134095). Results: A total of 26 cohort studies with a total of 40,592 patients after lung transplantation were enrolled. Overall, the pooled estimated incidence rates of AKI (by standard AKI definitions) and severe AKI requiring RRT following lung transplantation were 52.5% (95% CI: 45.8–59.1%) and 9.3% (95% CI: 7.6–11.4%). Meta-regression analysis demonstrated that the year of study did not significantly affect the incidence of AKI (p = 0.22) and severe AKI requiring RRT (p = 0.68). The pooled ORs of in-hospital mortality in patients after lung transplantation with AKI and severe AKI requiring RRT were 2.75 (95% CI, 1.18–6.41) and 10.89 (95% CI, 5.03–23.58). At five years, the pooled ORs of mortality among patients after lung transplantation with AKI and severe AKI requiring RRT were 1.47 (95% CI, 1.11–1.94) and 4.79 (95% CI, 3.58–6.40), respectively. Conclusion: The overall estimated incidence rates of AKI and severe AKI requiring RRT in patients after lung transplantation are 52.5% and 9.3%, respectively. Despite advances in therapy, the incidence of AKI in patients after lung transplantation does not seem to have decreased. In addition, AKI after lung transplantation is significantly associated with reduced short-term and long-term survival.

Abstract
During recent years, continuous technological innovation has provoked an increase of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) use for perioperative cardiopulmonary support in lung transplantation. Initial results were disappointing, due to ECLS-specific complications and high surgical risk of the supported patients. However, the combination of improved patient management, multidisciplinary team work and standardization of ECLS protocols has recently yielded excellent results in several case series from high-volume transplant centres. Therein, it was demonstrated that, although the prevalence of complications remains higher in supported patients, there may be no difference in long-term graft function between supported and non-supported patients. These results are important, because most of the patients who require ECLS support in lung transplantation are young and have no other chance to survive, but to be transplanted. Moreover, there is no device for "bridging to destination" therapy in lung transplantation. Of note, the evidence in favour of ECLS support in lung transplantation was never validated by randomized controlled trials, but by everyday experience at the patient bed-side. Here, we review the state-of-the-art ECLS evidence for intraoperative and postoperative cardiopulmonary support in lung transplantation.
