Acute kidney injury in patients before and after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) - Retrospective longitudinal analysis of the hospital outcomes. J Crit Care 2024; 81:154528. [PMID: 38295627 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2024.154528] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs in up to 85% of patients managed by ECMO support. Limited data are available comparing the outcomes among patients who develop AKI before and after ECMO initiation. METHODS A retrospective longitudinal observational study was performed on all adult patients placed on ECMO from January 2000 to December 2015 at our institution. Longitudinal multivariate logistic regressional analysis was performed to identify the variables that are associated with the outcome measures (post-ECMO AKI and in-hospital mortality). RESULTS A total of 329 patients were included in our analysis in which AKI occurred in 176 (53%) and 137 (42%) patients before and after ECMO, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, increasing age, pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), increasing bilirubin, decreasing fibrinogen, and use of LVAD had significant association with post-ECMO AKI. In-hospital mortality was seen in 128 out of 176 (73%) patients in the pre-ECMO AKI group and 32 out of 137 (42%) in the post-ECMO AKI group. In the multivariate analysis, age, interstitial lung disease, pre-ECMO AKI, and post-ECMO RRT requirement were independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSION AKI before ECMO initiation and the need for RRT post-ECMO are independently associated with poor patient survival.

Risk factors for mortality in surgical patients on combined continuous renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: single-center retrospective study. Ren Fail 2023; 45:2282019. [PMID: 37982218 PMCID: PMC11001310 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2023.2282019] [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: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is increasingly being used for renal replacement and fluid management. However, critically ill surgical patients receiving combined ECMO and CRRT tend to have a high mortality rate, and there are limited studies on this population. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the risk factors for mortality in surgical patients receiving combined ECMO and CRRT. METHODS Data of surgical patients who underwent ECMO between December 2013 and April 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify the risk variables. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff value of albumin and age to predict death. RESULTS A total of 199 patients on ECMO support were screened, of which 105 patients were included in the final analysis. Of 105 patients, 77 (73.33%) were treated with CRRT. Veno-arterial ECMO was performed in 97 cases (92.38%), and the rest were veno-venous ECMO (n = 8, 7.62%). Cardiovascular-related surgery was performed in the main patients (n = 86, 81.90%) and other types of surgery in 19 patients. In surgical patients on ECMO support, the logistic regression analysis showed that CRRT implantation, male sex, and age were the independent risks factors for mortality. Furthermore, the ROC curve analysis showed that age 48.5 years had the highest Youden index. In surgical patients on combined CRRT and ECMO, age, valvular heart disease, and albumin were the independent risk factors for prognosis. Albumin had the highest Youden index at a cutoff value of 39.95 g/L for predicting mortality, though the overall predictive value was modest (area under ROC 0.704). Age had the highest Youden index at a cutoff value of 48.5 years for predicting mortality. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of surgical patients requiring ECMO, which consisted mostly of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery requiring VA-ECMO, the need for CRRT was an independent risk factor for mortality. In the subset of patients on combined CRRT and ECMO, independent risk factors for mortality included higher age, lack of valvular heart disease, and lower serum albumin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A small percentage of patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV‑2) showed severe respiratory deterioration requiring treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). During the pandemic surges availability of ECMO devices was limited and resources had to be used wisely. The aim of this analysis was to determine the incidence and outcome of venovenous (VV) ECMO patients in Tyrol, when criteria based on the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) guidelines for VV-ECMO initiation were established. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of the Tyrol-CoV-ICU-Reg, which includes all patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Tyrol. Of the 13 participating departments, VV-ECMO was performed at 4 units at the University Hospital Innsbruck. RESULTS Overall, 37 (3.4%) of 1101 patients were treated with VV-ECMO during their ICU stay. The hospital mortality rate was approximately 40% (n = 15). Multiorgan failure due to sepsis was the most common cause of death. No significant difference in survival rates between newly initiated and experienced centers was observed. The median survival time of nonsurvivors was 27 days (interquartile range, IQR: 22-36 days) after initiation of VV-ECMO. Acute kidney injury meeting the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria occurred in 48.6%. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) was initiated in 12 (32.4%) patients after a median of 18 days (IQR: 1-26 days) after VV-ECMO start. The median length of ICU and hospital stays were 38 days (IQR: 30-55 days) and 50 days (IQR: 37-83 days), respectively. DISCUSSION Despite a rapidly increased demand and the resulting requirement to initiate an additional ECMO center, we could demonstrate that a structured approach with interdisciplinary collaboration resulted in favorable survival rates similar to multinational reports.

Impact of connecting methods of continuous renal replacement therapy device on patients underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A retrospectively observational study. Aust Crit Care 2023; 36:695-701. [PMID: 36610945 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2022.11.005] [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: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficiency of different extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) connection methods. BACKGROUND The number of patients receiving ECMO is increasing, and the fields of application are getting wider. However, patients receiving ECMO are prone to acute kidney injury and fluid overload requiring CRRT. There are few comparative studies of two different systems of connecting CRRT device and ECMO from safety and efficacy perspective. METHODS This retrospective observational study included patients receiving ECMO in the extracorporeal life support centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June, 2015, to December, 2020. Patients were divided into the parallel system group and integrated system group according to the connecting method between ECMO circuit and CRRT line. The outcomes were discharge survival rate, CRRT therapeutic dose completion rate, CRRT catheterisation time, CRRT initiating time, local bleeding at the CRRT catheter site, mean filter life, ECMO circuit thrombosis, ECMO air leakage, or blood leakage due to CRRT. RESULTS Thirty patients in the parallel system group and 70 patients in the integrated system group were finally included. The discharge survival rate and CRRT therapeutic dose completion rate were not significantly different between the two groups. The parallel system group had significant longer CRRT initiating time (49.0 ± 12.1 min vs. 14.6 ± 2.1 min, P < 0.001) and shorter filter life (11.5 ± 3.2 h vs. 47.3 ± 14.0 h, P < 0.001) than the integrated system group. The occurrence rate of local bleeding was 93.3% in the parallel system group, and there is no bleeding case in the integrated system group. There was no case of ECMO circuit thrombosis from CRRT as well as ECMO air or blood leakage caused by CRRT in either group. ECMO therapy can be adapted by adjusting the position of the CRRT outlet in the integrated system. CONCLUSIONS Connecting CRRT and ECMO as an integrated system might accelerate CRRT initiation, avoid local bleeding, and prolong filter life compared to the parallel system. The chance of developing CRRT-related ECMO circuit leak and thrombosis is manageable.

Abstract
Combined advances in haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and intensive care management have improved the survival of patients with haematological malignancies admitted to the intensive care unit. In cases of refractory respiratory failure or refractory cardiac failure, these advances have led to a renewed interest in advanced life support therapies, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), previously considered inappropriate for these patients due to their poor prognosis. Given the scarcity of evidence-based guidelines on the use of ECMO in patients receiving HCT and the need to provide equitable and sustainable access to ECMO, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, and the International ECMO Network aimed to develop an expert consensus statement on the use of ECMO in adult patients receiving HCT. A steering committee with expertise in ECMO and HCT searched the literature for relevant articles on ECMO, HCT, and immune effector cell therapy, and developed opinion statements through discussions following a Quaker-based consensus approach. An international panel of experts was convened to vote on these expert opinion statements following the Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Method. The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation statement was followed to prepare this Position Paper. 36 statements were drafted by the steering committee, 33 of which reached strong agreement after the first voting round. The remaining three statements were discussed by all members of the steering committee and expert panel, and rephrased before an additional round of voting. At the conclusion of the process, 33 statements received strong agreement and three weak agreement. This Position Paper could help to guide intensivists and haematologists during the difficult decision-making process regarding ECMO candidacy in adult patients receiving HCT. The statements could also serve as a basis for future research focused on ECMO selection criteria and bedside management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of etiologies of acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM), which requires extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), on clinical outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for ECMO weaning and mortality among patients with AFM due to viral etiologies in a tertiary referral medical center. METHODS We included 33 adults with AFM who received ECMO and were admitted between January 2002 and January 2021. General demographics, laboratory data, echocardiography findings, and long-term outcomes were analyzed for confirmed viral etiology and unconfirmed etiology groups. RESULTS The overall hospital survival rate was 54.5%. The age, sex, severity of the hemodynamic condition, and cardiac rhythm were similar between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that a confirmed viral etiology (HR 4.201, 95% CI 1.061-16.666), peri-ECMO renal replacement therapy (RRT) (HR 9.804, 1.140-83.333) and a high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the ventilator settings at 24 h after ECMO (HR 1.479, 1.020-2.143) were significant prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality. Peri-ECMO RRT was also a significant negative prognostic factor for successful ECMO weaning (OR 0.061, 0.006-0.600) in the multivariate logistic model. CONCLUSIONS Among AFM patients receiving ECMO support, RRT use was associated with a decreased chance of survival to ECMO weaning. Multiple organ dysfunction and a high PEEP were also predictive of a lower chance of hospital survival. Those with a confirmed diagnosis of viral myocarditis may require more medical attention due to the higher risk of hospital mortality than those without a definite diagnosis.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly utilized intervention for cardiopulmonary failure. Analgosedation during ECMO support is essential to ensure adequate pain and agitation control and ventilator synchrony, optimize ECMO support, facilitate patient assessment, and minimize adverse events. Although the principles of analgosedation are likely similar for all critically ill patients, ECMO circuitry alters medication pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. The lack of clinical guidelines for analgosedation during ECMO, especially at times of medication shortage, can affect patient management. Here, we review pharmacological considerations, protocols, and special considerations for analgosedation in critically ill adults receiving ECMO support.

Sex-Related Differences in Short-Term Outcomes after Mobile VA-ECMO Implantation: Five-Year Experience of an ECMO Retrieval Program. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12111746. [PMID: 36362901 PMCID: PMC9695761 DOI: 10.3390/life12111746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) represents an increasingly used method for circulatory support. Despite the ongoing research, survival following VA-ECMO therapy remains low. Sex-related differences might impact the outcome of therapeutic measures. We aimed to compare all-cause mortality among female and male patients who underwent VA-ECMO as a bridge to recovery investigating sex-related differences. From January 2015 until August 2020, 87 patients were supported by VA-ECMO as a part of our out-of-center mobile ECMO program. In order to analyze sex-associated differences in early clinical outcomes, patients were divided into two sex categories: men (n = 62) and women (n = 25). All relevant data (in-hospital mortality, ICU and hospital stay, renal failure requiring dialysis, lung failure, bleeding, stroke and septic shock) were analyzed retrospectively after the extraction from our institutional database. Mean age of the study population was 53 ± 14 years. Mean EuroSCORE II predicted mortality was 6.5 ± 3.7. In-hospital mortality rate was not significantly lower in the female group (58.3%) vs. the male group (71.2%), p = 0.190. The mean length of ICU and hospital stay was 9 ± 11 in the male group vs. 10 ± 13 in the female group, p = 0.901, and 10 ± 12 (male group) vs. 11 ± 13 (female group), p = 0.909, respectively. Renal failure requiring hemodialysis (36.2% (males) vs. 28.6% (females), p = 0.187) was comparable between both groups. Respiratory failure was diagnosed in 31 (56.4%) male vs. 8 (34.8%) female patients, p = 0.068, while 16 (28.6%) male vs. 3 (13.0%) female patients (p = 0.118) suffered from septic shock. Based on our data, there were no sex-specific outcome discrepancies in patients treated with mobile VA-ECMO implantation.

Abstract
Background In critically ill patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy, early initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and beta-blockade of catecholamine-induced inotropic effects may improve outcomes. Methods A 2 × 2 partial factorial randomized controlled trial in eligible ECMO patients without a clear indication or contraindication to either intervention is centrally randomly assigned to (A) early or conventional-indicated CRRT and/or (B) beta-blocker or usual care. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality at 30 days for both arms. A total of 496 participants provides 80% power to determine a 20% risk reduction in mortality at 30 days with 5% type I error. Discussion This trial will help define the role of early CRRT and beta-blockade in ECMO patients. There have been 89 patients enrolled at 10 hospitals in study A and is ongoing. However, study B was stopped in August 2019 in the absence of any patients being enrolled. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.govNCT03549923. Registered on 8 June 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incidence of complications related extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support as a bridge to lung transplantation (BTT) and its association with the patient outcome in lung transplantation (LT) has not been well documented in previous studies. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the incidence of complications related to the use of ECMO support as a BTT, and the association between the occurrence of the complications and patient outcomes in LTs. METHODS This retrospective cohort study investigated 100 consecutive patients who started ECMO support as a BTT between April 2013 and March 2020. Data for the analyses were retrieved from electronic medical records. RESULTS Fifty-six percent of the patients experienced at least one complication during the BTT with ECMO. Major bleeding was the most common complication. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, occurrence of oxygenator thromboses (OR 16.438, P = 0.008) and the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) (OR 32.288, P < 0.001) were associated with a failed BTT. In the subgroup analysis of the LT recipients, intracranial hemorrhages, (OR 13.825, P = 0.021), RRT use, (OR 11.395, P = 0.038), and bloodstream infection occurrence (OR 6.210; P = 0.034) were identified as risk factors for in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of complications during the use of ECMO support as a BTT was associated with unfavorable outcomes in LTs. Close monitoring and the proper management of these complications may be important to achieve better outcomes in patients using ECMO support as a BTT.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by a clinical spectrum of diseases ranging from asymptomatic or mild cases to severe pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used as rescue therapy in appropriate patients with COVID-19 complicated by ARDS refractory to mechanical ventilation. In this study, we review the indications, challenges, complications, and clinical outcomes of ECMO utilization in critically ill patients with COVID-19-related ARDS. Most of these patients required venovenous ECMO. Although the risk of mortality and complications is very high among patients with COVID-19 requiring ECMO, it is similar to that of non-COVID-19 patients with ARDS requiring ECMO. ECMO is a resource-intensive therapy, with an inherent risk of complications, which makes its availability limited and its use challenging in the midst of a pandemic. Well-maintained data registries, with timely reporting of outcomes and evidence-based clinical guidelines, are necessary for the careful allocation of resources and for the development of standardized utilization protocols.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a temporary life support system used to assist patients with life-threatening severe cardiac and/or respiratory insufficiency. Patients requiring ECMO can be considered the sickest patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a frequent complication during ECMO, affecting up to 70% of patients, with multifactorial pathophysiology and an independent risk factor for mortality. Severe AKI requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) occurs in 20% of ECMO patients, but multiple indications and different timing may imply a significantly higher application rate in different centers. CRRT can be run in parallel to ECMO through different vascular access, or it can be conducted in series by connecting the circuits. Anticoagulation of ECMO is typically managed with systemic heparin, but several approaches can be applied for the CRRT circuit, from no anticoagulation to the addition of intra-filter heparin or regional citrate anticoagulation. The combination of CRRT and ECMO can be considered a form of multiple organ support therapy, but this approach still requires optimization in timing, set-up, anticoagulation, prescription and delivery. The aim of this report is to review the pathophysiology of AKI, the CRRT delivery, anticoagulation strategies and outcomes of patients with AKI treated with ECMO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are treatments for critically ill patients with respiratory failure and acute kidney injury. However, no reliable factors have been identified to predict survival in patients treated with both ECMO and CRRT. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors for discharging intensive care unit (ICU) patients who required CRRT during ECMO. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from patients who required CRRT in addition to the ECMO, between April 2015 and March 2018. The patients were divided into two groups: patients who survived and patients who died during ICU hospitalization. We determined their demographic and clinical characteristics, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) scores, and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores. Further, we assessed whether these characteristics differed between individuals who did or did not survive the ICU hospitalization. RESULTS We found that the APACHE II and SAPS II scores differed significantly between both ECMO and CRRT treated patients who did or did not survive hospitalization. Further, intracranial hemorrhage during ECMO and CRRT therapy was associated with lower survival rate. CONCLUSIONS Using APACHE II and SAPS II scores might be helpful in making treatment decisions for patients treated with ECMO and CRRT. Intracranial hemorrhage could be a poor prognostic factor. Our findings indicate the potential utility of APACHE II and SAPS II scores to predict mortality in patients treated with both ECMO and CRRT.

Abstract
The ultimate goals of cardiovascular physiology are to ensure adequate end-organ perfusion to satisfy the local metabolic demand, to maintain homeostasis and achieve 'milieu intérieur'. Cardiogenic shock is a state of pump failure which results in tissue hypoperfusion and its associated complications. There are a wide variety of causes which lead to this deranged physiology, and one such important and common scenario is the post-cardiotomy state which is encountered in cardiac surgical units. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is an important modality of managing post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock with variable outcomes which would otherwise be universally fatal. VA-ECMO is considered as a double-edged sword with the advantages of luxurious perfusion while providing an avenue for the failing heart to recover, but with the problems of anticoagulation, inflammatory and adverse systemic effects. Optimal outcomes after VA-ECMO are heavily reliant on a multitude of factors and require a multi-disciplinary team to handle them. This article aims to provide an insight into the pathophysiology of VA-ECMO, cannulation techniques, commonly encountered problems, monitoring, weaning strategies and ethical considerations along with a literature review of current evidence-based practices.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life‐saving therapy utilized for patients with severe life‐threatening cardiorespiratory failure. Patients treated with ECMO are among the most severely ill encountered in critical care and are at high‐risk of developing multiple organ dysfunction, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is increasingly utilized inpatients on ECMO to manage AKI and treat fluid overload. The indications for renal replacement therapy for patients on ECMO are similar to those of other critically ill populations; however, there is wide practice variation in how renal supportive therapies are utilized during ECMO. For patients requiring both CRRT and ECMO, CRRT may be connected directly to the ECMO circuit, or CRRT and ECMO may be performed independently. This review will summarize current knowledge of the epidemiology of AKI, indications and timing of CRRT, delivery of CRRT, and the outcomes of patients requiring CRRT with ECMO.

Abstract
Patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often receive renal replacement therapy (RRT). We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis (between January 2000 and September 2020) to assess outcomes in patients who received RRT on ECMO. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed using R 3.6.1 and certainty of evidence was rated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The primary outcome was pooled mortality. The duration of ECMO support and ICU/hospital lengths of stay were also investigated. Meta-regression analyses identified factors associated with mortality. A total of 5896 adult patients (from 24 observational studies and 1 randomised controlled trial) were included in this review. Overall pooled mortality due to concurrent use of RRT while on ECMO from observational studies was 63.0% (95% CI: 56.0–69.6%). In patients receiving RRT, mortality decreased by 20% in the last five years; the mean duration of ECMO support and ICU and hospital lengths of stay were 9.33 days (95% CI: 7.74–10.92), 15.76 days (95% CI: 12.83–18.69) and 28.47 days (95% CI: 22.13–34.81), respectively, with an 81% increased risk of death (RR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.56–2.08, p < 0.001). RRT on ECMO was associated with higher mortality rates and a longer ICU/hospital stay compared to those without RRT. Future research should focus on minimizing renal dysfunction in ECMO patients and define the optimal timing of RRT initiation.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a rapidly growing treatment strategy due to significant improvement in selected patients' survival rates. Gender-related differences might impact the outcome of therapeutic measures. Therefore, we sought to investigate patients with eCPR at our interdisciplinary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation center regarding sex-related differences with the view to potentially adjusting current selection criteria. From January 2016 to December 2019, 71 patients underwent eCPR at our institution. Data before eCPR and early outcome parameters were analyzed comparing male and female patients. The cohort analyzed consisted of 60 male (84%) and 11 female (15%) patients. Comparing both groups, male patients significantly more frequently suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (68% male vs. 36% female, P = .04), whereas female patients were associated with more in-hospital cardiac arrest (32% male vs. 64% female, P = .04). Creatinine levels differed significantly (1.5 (1.1;2.1) mg/dL in male vs. 1.0 (0.7;1.5) mg/dL in female patients, P = .03). Also, several hepatic parameters showed a significant difference between the groups: aspartate aminotransferase 423 (249;804) U/L in male vs. 115 (61;408) U/L in female patients, P = .01; alanine aminotransferase 174 (102;446) U/L in male vs. 86 (36;118) U/L in female patients, P = .01). Renal failure requiring hemodialysis occurred more frequently in men than in women (P < .01). There is a significant effect of male sex regarding renal failure with subsequent continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVH) (R2 = 0.11, ANOVA P = .01, 95% CI = -0.79--0.079). However, in-hospital mortality was comparable between the groups (78% in male vs. 72% in female patients, P = .68). Our retrospective study showed several gender-related differences associated with different cardiac arrest scenarios. Male sex was associated with a significantly higher risk for renal failure requiring CVVH. Survival rates were comparable between the groups. Further investigations should include gender in the evaluation of risk stratification for eCPR-related complications to further improve selection criteria for this demanding therapy.

Abstract
Purpose To review the relevant literature of acute kidney injury (AKI) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) as it relates to pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods Available online relevant literature. Results ECMO is a therapeutic modality utilized to support patients with refractory respiratory and/or cardiac failure. AKI and fluid overload (FO) are frequently observed in this patient population. There are multiple modalities that can be utilized for AKI and FO which include the following: diuretics, in-line hemofiltration, and CRRT. There are multiple considerations when using CRRT with ECMO including access, CRRT flows, hemolysis, anticoagulation, and CRRT termination. Conclusion While each ECMO center has its own set of equipment, experiences, and practices, it is imperative that the international ECMO community continues to work together to provide an evidence-based approach to address the morbidity and mortality associated with AKI and FO.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was first successfully achieved in 1975 in a neonate with meconium aspiration. Neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has expanded to include hemodynamic support in cardiovascular collapse before and after cardiac surgery, medical heart disease, and rescue therapy for cardiac arrest. Advances in pump technology, circuit biocompatibility, and oxygenators efficiency have allowed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to support neonates with increasingly complex pathophysiology. Contraindications include extreme prematurity, extremely low birth weight, lethal chromosomal abnormalities, uncontrollable hemorrhage, uncontrollable disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, and severe irreversible brain injury. The future will involve collaboration to guide and evolve evidence-based practices for this life-sustaining therapy.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly in patients requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS) after cardiothoracic surgery. The prognostic implications of AKI in this patient group relate closely to the pathophysiology and risk factors associated with the underlying disease; pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative variables; hemodynamic factors; and type of support device used. General approaches to AKI management, including prevention strategies, medical management, and hemodynamic support, are also applicable in patients requiring MCS. Approaches to renal replacement therapy vary depend on patient factors, device-specific factors, and local preferences and experience. In this invited narrative review, we discuss the pathophysiology, risk factors, and prognostic implications of AKI in post-operative adult patients following institution of MCS. Management strategies for AKI are presented with a focus on those supported with either extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or a ventricular assist device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used to rescue patients with cardiac arrest refractory to conventional therapy, necessitating evaluation of factors that may affect outcomes. METHODS A single-center retrospective review of pediatric patients (<21 years old) who underwent ECPR from January 2010 to November 2017. Comparisons between nonsurvivors and survivors, to decannulation and discharge, were made. Factors associated with survival and rate of complications were examined. RESULTS Seventy patients were supported with ECPR. Forty-nine (70%) patients survived to decannulation and 38 (54%) patients to discharge. There was no statistical difference between baseline characteristics of survivors and nonsurvivors, including age at cannulation, weight (kg), time to cannulation (minutes), and total time on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (hours). Survivors to discharge had significantly higher pH prior to cannulation compared to nonsurvivors (7.11 ± 0.24 vs 6.97 ± 0.21, P = .01). Of all, 23.2% of patients received renal replacement therapy (RRT), 39.4% had significant bleeding, 22.5% had thrombotic complications, and 68.8% had neurologic injury on imaging studies. A greater number of nonsurvivors received RRT compared to survivors to discharge (35.5% vs 10.8%, P = .02). There were no differences in bleeding or thrombotic complications or radiographically established neurologic injury. CONCLUSIONS Although ECPR effectively increases overall survival, a better characterization of long-term outcomes is needed.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) has significantly increased in the past 20 years. There is a high incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the group of patients on ECMO, with need for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in most of them. This article will review the basics of CRRT, its indications, the technical aspects of incorporating CRRT with ECMO circuit, data on clinical aspects, and outcomes.

Abstract
Background No study has specifically investigated the duration of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients who experienced acute kidney injury during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. However, there are concerns that prolonged CRRT may be futile. Methods We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database data collected between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2013. Patients who received ECMO and CRRT during the study period were included. We divided patients into three groups based on the duration of CRRT received: ≤ 3 days, 4–6 days, and ≥ 7 days. The outcomes were all-cause mortality, end-stage renal disease, ventilator dependency, and readmission rate. Results There were 247, 134 and 187 patients who survived the hospitalization in the CRRT for ≤3 days, 4–6 days and > 7 days respectively. Survival after discharge did not differ significantly between CRRT for 4–6 days vs. ≤ 3 days (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85–1.57), between CRRT for > 7 days vs. ≤ 3 days (aHR 1.001, 95% CI 0.73–1.38) and between CRRT for > 7 days vs. 4–6 days (aHR 0.87, 95% CI 0.62–1.22). The patients who received CRRT for ≥7 days had a higher risk of ESRD than did those who received CRRT for ≤3 days (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.47–8.14) and for 4–6 days (aHR 3.10, 95% CI 1.03–9.29). The incidence of ventilator dependence was higher in the patients with CRRT ≥7 days than in those with ≤3 days (aHR 2.45, 95% CI 1.32–4.54). The CRRT ≥7 days group also exhibited a higher readmission rate than did the 4–6 days and ≤ 3 days groups (aHR 1.43, 95% CI 1.04–1.96 and aHR 1.67, 95% CI 1.13–2.47, respectively). Conclusions Our study found similar long-term survival but increased ESRD and ventilator dependency among ECMO patients who underwent CRRT for ≥7 days. These results offer reason to be concerned that this aggressive life support may maintain patient survival but do so at the cost of long-term disabilities and a lower quality of life.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment. The aim of this study was to elucidate the long-term outcomes of adult patients with AKI who receive ECMO. Materials and methods The study analyzed encrypted datasets from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database. The data of 3251 patients who received first-time ECMO treatment between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2013, were analyzed. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between patients who required dialysis for AKI (D-AKI) and those who did not in order to evaluate the impact of D-AKI on long-term mortality and major adverse kidney events. Results Of the 3251 patients, 54.1% had D-AKI. Compared with the patients without D-AKI, those with D-AKI had higher rates of all-cause mortality (52.3% vs. 33.3%; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53–2.17), chronic kidney disease (13.7% vs. 8.1%; adjusted subdistribution HR [aSHR] 1.66, 95% CI 1.16–2.38), and end-stage renal disease (5.2% vs. 0.5%; aSHR 14.28, 95% CI 4.67–43.62). The long-term mortality of patients who survived more than 90 days after discharge was 22.0% (153/695), 32.3% (91/282), and 50.0% (10/20) in the patients without D-AKI, with recovery D-AKI, and with nonrecovery D-AKI who required long-term dialysis, respectively, demonstrating a significant trend (Pfor trend <0.001). Conclusion AKI is associated with an increased risk of long-term mortality and major adverse kidney events in adult patients who receive ECMO.

The Effect of Simultaneous Renal Replacement Therapy on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for Postcardiotomy Patients with Cardiogenic Shock: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2019; 33:3063-3072. [PMID: 30928284 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2019.02.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Revised: 02/13/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to determine the feasibility and safety of simultaneous renal replacement therapy (RRT) during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for postcardiotomy patients with cardiogenic shock and whether simultaneous RRT with ECMO would improve survival and reduce morbidity. The authors hypothesized that simultaneous RRT could facilitate effective fluid management and rapid metabolic control in postcardiotomy patients with cardiogenic shock who were undergoing ECMO support. DESIGN A parallel, open-label, single-center pilot randomized trial. SETTING University-affiliated cardiac surgery intensive care unit. PARTICIPANTS The study comprised 41 postcardiotomy patients with cardiogenic shock who received ECMO support. INTERVENTIONS Participants were enrolled and randomly assigned via a 1:1 allocation to a simultaneous RRT arm versus a standard care arm. The patients in the simultaneous RRT arm received RRT within 12 hours of the start of ECMO regardless of the conventional RRT indication. Simultaneous RRT was delivered with the RRT machine connected to the ECMO circuit. The patients in the standard care arm did not receive RRT at the start of ECMO unless the conventional RRT indications were fulfilled. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS All 41 patients enrolled were followed-up for 30 days and the results analyzed. The primary feasibility outcome was the time from randomization to simultaneous RRT of <12 hours in the simultaneous RRT arm. All participants in simultaneous RRT arm fulfilled with a median time from randomization to simultaneous RRT of 4.4 (2.7-5.6) hours. The 30-day all-cause mortality was 61.9% in the simultaneous RRT arm and 75.0% in the standard care arm (p = 0.51). The lactate clearance was higher in the simultaneous RRT arm (0.56 ± 0.4 v 0.28 ± 0.4 mmol/L/h; p = 0.04). There was lower cumulative fluid balance in the simultaneous RRT arm on ECMO day 3 (-1,510 [-3560 to 1,162] v -332 [-2,027 to 2,181]; p = 0.38) and ECMO day 5 (-2,671 [-5,197 to 3,334] v -1,509 [-3,595 to 1,162]; p = 0.41) without significance. There were no significant differences in adverse events reported and no hemodynamic instability owing to simultaneous RRT delivery. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study suggests the feasibility and safety of simultaneous RRT during ECMO support for postcardiotomy patients with cardiogenic shock, providing an efficient means for controlling fluid status and metabolics. A large trial based on this pilot study is required to confirm the clinical benefits.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a manifestation of an underlying severe illness that commonly involves other organ systems. Pulmonary, cardiac, and hepatic failures are the most prevalent. This article provides a simplified review of the technical aspects of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary and liver support devices used in the adult ICU patient, as well as a summary of the most relevant and up-to-date clinical evidence that supports their use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gaps and uncertainty exist regarding the understanding of optimal clinical goals for perioperative (ie, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative) blood pressure (BP) management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and the consequences of achieving or failing to achieve those goals. In this setting, it is understood that preoperative hypertension is predictive of poor postoperative outcomes, with a growing appreciation that current, clinically acceptable changes in intraoperative BP also may be associated independently with adverse short- and long-term outcomes. In contrast, the impact of postoperative BP on outcomes after cardiac surgery remains less clear. DESIGN This study was a retrospective outcome analysis. SETTING The study included all cardiac surgery patients cared for at a single institution over a 7-year period. Consequences of the success or failure of meeting postoperative BP targets on medical outcomes and health resource utilization were evaluated. RESULTS The study comprised 5,225 patients. Hypertensive postoperative patients experienced a higher in-hospital mortality rate compared with matched-case normotensive patients (4.97% v 1.32%, p<0.001) and a longer hospital stay (p = 0.024). In hypertensive patients, serum creatinine levels from postoperative day 1 through postoperative day 7 were increased compared with baseline and postoperative renal dysfunction according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria occurred significantly more often (25.3% v 19.7%, p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative hypertension is associated with compromised outcome as reflected by higher mortality, longer length of stay, and higher incidence of renal dysfunction.
