Abstract
This study presents Neuro-SPARK, the first scoring system developed to assess the risk of neurologic injury in pediatric and neonatal patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Using the extracorporeal life support organization (ELSO) registry, we applied robust machine learning methodologies and clinical expertise to a 10 years dataset. We produced separate models for veno-venous (V-V ECMO) and veno-arterial (V-A ECMO) configurations due to their different risk factors and prevalence of neurologic injury. Our models identified 14 predictor variables for V-V ECMO and 20 for V-A ECMO, which demonstrated moderate accuracy in predicting neurologic injury as defined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) (V-V = 0.63, V-A = 0.64) and good calibration as measured by the Brier score (V-V = 0.1, V-A = 0.15). Furthermore, our post-hoc analysis identified high- and low-risk groups that may aid clinicians in targeted neuromonitoring and guide future research on ECMO-associated neurologic injury. Despite the inherent limitations, Neuro-SPARK lays the foundation for a risk-assessment tool for neurologic injury in ECMO patients, with potential implications for improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A recent study from Germany found that survival after respiratory extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was lower among patients 10-20 years old than 20-30 years old. The objective of this study was to compare survival between teenage and young adult patients who receive respiratory ECLS. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry, an international prospective quality improvement database. PATIENTS All patients ages 16-30 years cannulated for respiratory indications from 1990 to 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups, teens (16-19 yr old) and young adults (20-30 yr old). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Primary outcome was survival to discharge. Variables were considered for the multivariate logistic regression model if there was both a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) and a clinically meaningful absolute difference between the groups. A total of 5,751 patients were included, of whom 1,653 (29%) were teens and 4,098 (71%) were young adults. Survival to discharge was higher in young adults than teens, 69% versus 63% (p < 0.001). Severity of illness was higher among teens; however, survival within each stratum defined by Pao2/Fio2 ratio was higher in young adults than in teens. Use of venoarterial ECLS was higher in teens than in young adults, 15% versus 7%, respectively. Teens were more likely to receive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and this therapy was associated with a longer time from admission to ECLS initiation. After adjusting for variables that differ significantly between the groups, the odds ratio for survival in young adults compared with teens was 1.14 (95% CI, 1.004-1.3). CONCLUSIONS In this large multicenter retrospective study, mortality was higher in teens than in young adults who received respiratory ECLS. This difference persisted after adjusting for multiple variables and the mechanism underlying these findings remains unclear.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rapidly emerging advanced life support technique used in cardiorespiratory failure refractory to other treatments. There has been an influx in the number of studies relating to ECMO in recent years, as the technique becomes more popular. However, there are still significant gaps in the literature including complications and their impacts and methods to predict their development. This review evaluates the available literature on the complications of ECMO postcardiotomy in the pediatric population. Areas explored include renal, cardiovascular, hematological, infection, neurological, and hepatic complications. Incidence, risk factors and potential predictors, and scoring systems for the development of these complications have been evaluated.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a potentially lifesaving intervention for children with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. It is used with increasing frequency and in increasingly more complex and severe diseases. Neurological injuries are important causes of morbidity and mortality in children treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and include ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic injury, and seizures. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of neurological injury in patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and we review the current state of knowledge for available modalities of monitoring neurological function in these children. These include structural imaging with computed tomography and ultrasound, cerebral blood flow monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy and transcranial Doppler ultrasound, and physiological monitoring with electroencephalography and plasma biomarkers. We highlight areas of need and emerging advances that will improve our understanding of neurological injury related to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and help to reduce the burden of neurological sequelae in these children.

Abstract
Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an increasingly utilized, life-saving technology with high mortality and morbidity. A complex technology employed urgently or emergently for some of the sickest children in the hospital by a large multidisciplinary team, ECMO is an ideal area for using quality improvement strategies to reduce the variability in care and improve patient outcomes. We review critical concepts from quality improvement and apply them to patient selection and management, staffing, credentialing and continuing education, and the variability of management among providers and institutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In refractory respiratory failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury. Optimal ventilator parameters during ECMO remain unknown. Our objective was to describe the association between mortality and ventilator parameters during ECMO for neonatal and pediatric respiratory failure. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the Bleeding and Thrombosis on ECMO dataset. Ventilator parameters included breathing frequency, tidal volume, peak inspiratory pressure, PEEP, dynamic driving pressure, pressure support, mean airway pressure, and FIO2 . Parameters were evaluated before cannulation, on the calendar day of ECMO initiation (ECMO day 1), and the day before ECMO separation. RESULTS Of 237 included subjects analyzed, 64% were neonates, of whom 36% had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Of all the subjects, 67% were supported on venoarterial ECMO. Overall in-hospital mortality was 35% (n = 83). The median (interquartile range) PEEP on ECMO day 1 was 8 (5.0-10.0) cm H2O for neonates and 10 (8.0-10.0) cm H2O for pediatric subjects. By multivariable analysis, higher PEEP on ECMO day 1 in neonates was associated with lower odds of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.62-0.92; P = .01), with a further amplified effect in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (odds ratio 0.59, 95% CI 0.41-0.86; P = .005). No ventilator type or parameter was associated with mortality in pediatric subjects. CONCLUSIONS Avoiding low PEEP on ECMO day 1 for neonates on ECMO may be beneficial, particularly those with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. No additional ventilator parameters were associated with mortality in either neonatal or pediatric subjects. PEEP is a modifiable parameter that may improve neonatal survival during ECMO and requires further investigation.

Abstract
Biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction may aid in decision making about organ recovery and optimal timing of separation from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We conducted a prospective observational study of children from 0 to <18 years who underwent ECMO between 7/2010 and 6/2015 in a single center. In this pilot study, we aimed to determine whether Suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), N -terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), galectin-3, and endostatin were associated with ability to separate from ECMO. Fifty neonatal and pediatric participants supported on venoarterial ECMO were included (median age 13 days, 50% male). Twelve (24%) participants were unable to separate from extracorporeal support. Plasma ST2 concentrations at cannulation were higher in children who were ultimately unable to separate versus those who successfully separated from ECMO (median 395.3 ng/mL vs. 207.4 ng/mL, p = 0.012). ST2 and NT-proBNP concentrations decreased significantly from the first to the last ECMO day in patients successfully separated from ECMO ( p < 0.0001 and p = 0.017, respectively). Endostatin concentrations increased significantly from the first to the last ECMO day in both groups. Galectin-3 concentrations were not associated with the ability to separate from ECMO. Cardiac dysfunction biomarkers, particularly ST2, may aid in decannulation decision-making in pediatric ECMO patients. These results should be validated with a larger study.

Abstract
Pediatric cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients have high mortality rates. The purpose of our study was to develop and validate the Pediatric Survival After Veno-arterial ECMO (Pedi-SAVE) score for predicting survival at hospital discharge after pediatric cardiac veno-arterial (VA) ECMO. We used data for pediatric cardiac VA-ECMO patients from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry (1/1/2001-12/31/2015). Development and validation cohorts were created using 2:1 random sampling. Predictors of survival to develop pre- and postcannulation models were selected using multivariable logistic regression and random forest models. ß-coefficients were standardized to create the Pedi-SAVE score. Of 10,091 pediatric cardiac VA-ECMO patients, 4,996 (50%) survived to hospital discharge. Pre- and postcannulation Pedi-SAVE scores predicted that the lowest risk patients have a 65% and 74% chance of survival at hospital discharge, respectively, compared to 33% and 22% in the highest risk patients. In the validation cohort, pre- and postcannulation Pedi-SAVE scores had c-statistics of 0.64 and 0.71, respectively. Precannulation factors associated with survival included: nonsingle ventricle congenital heart disease, older age, white race, lower STAT mortality category, higher pH, not requiring acid-buffer administration, <2 cardiac procedures, and indication for VA-ECMO other than failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass. Postcannulation, additional factors associated with survival included: lower ECMO pump flows at 24 hours and lack of complications. The Pedi-SAVE score is a novel validated tool to predict survival at hospital discharge for pediatric cardiac VA-ECMO patients, and is an important advancement in risk adjustment and benchmarking for this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Decompressive laparotomy and open abdomen for abdominal compartment syndrome have been historically avoided during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) due to seemingly elevated risks of bleeding and infection. Our goal was to evaluate a cohort of pediatric respiratory ECMO patients who underwent decompressive laparotomy with open abdomen at a single institution and to compare these patients to ECMO patients without open abdomen. METHODS We reviewed all pediatric respiratory ECMO (30 days-18 years) patients treated with decompressive laparotomy with open abdomen at Riley Hospital for Children (1/2000-12/2019) and compared these patients to concurrent respiratory ECMO patients with closed abdomen. We excluded patients with surgical cardiac disease. We assessed demographics, ECMO data, and outcomes and defined significance as p = 0.05. RESULTS 6 of 81 ECMO patients were treated with decompressive laparotomy and open abdomen. Open and closed abdomen groups had similar age (p = 0.223) and weight (0.286) at cannulation, but the open abdomen group had a higher reliance on vasoactive medications (Vasoactive Inotropic Score, p = 0.040). Open abdomen group survival was similar to closed abdomen patients (66.7%, vs 62.7%, p = 1). Open abdomen patients had lower incidence of ECMO complications (33.3% vs 83.6%, p = 0.014), but the groups had similar bleeding complications (p = 0.412) and PRBC transfusion volume (p = 0.941). CONCLUSION/IMPACT Pediatric ECMO patients with open abdomen after decompressive laparotomy had similar survival, blood products administered, and complications as those with a closed abdomen. An open abdomen is not a contra-indication to ECMO support in pediatric respiratory patients and should be considered in select patients.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:967872. [PMID: 35991647 PMCID: PMC9386139 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.967872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pediatric postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients have high mortality and morbidity. There are currently three scoring systems available to predict mortality: the Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction (PEP) model, Precannulation Pediatric Survival After VA-ECMO (Pedi-SAVE) score, and Postcannulation Pedi-SAVE score. These methods provide risk stratification scores for pediatric patients requiring ECMO for cardiac support. However, comparative validation of these scoring systems remains scarce. We aim to assess the ability of these models to predict outcomes in a cohort of pediatric patients undergoing VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery, and identify predictors of in-hospital mortality. Methods A retrospective analysis of 101 children admitted to Fuwai Hospital who received VA-ECMO from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020 was performed. Patients were divided into two groups, survivors (n = 49) and non-survivors (n = 52) according to in-hospital mortality. PEP model and Pedi-SAVE scores were calculated. The primary outcomes were the risk factors of in-hospital mortality, and the ability of the PEP model, Precannulation Pedi-SAVE and Postcannulation Pedi-SAVE scores to predict in-hospital mortality. Results Postcannulation Pedi-SAVE score accessing the entire ECMO process had the greatest area under receiver operator curve (AUROC), 0.816 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.733–0.899]. Pre-ECMO PEP model could predict in-hospital mortality [AUROC = 0.691 (95% CI: 0.565–0.817)], and Precannulation Pedi-SAVE score had the poorest prediction [AUROC = 0.582(95% CI: 0.471–0.694)]. Lactate value at ECMO implantation [OR = 1.199 (1.064–1.351), P = 0.003] and infectious complications [OR = 5.169 (1.652–16.172), P = 0.005] were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality. Conclusion Pediatric cardiac ECMO scoring systems, including multiple risk factors before and during ECMO, were found to be useful in this cohort. Both the pre-ECMO PEP model and the Postcannulation Pedi-SAVE score were found to have high predictive value for in-hospital mortality in pediatric postcardiotomy VA-ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients with ARDS will on occasion need venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for organ support. As these patients recover, they may benefit from lung recruitment maneuvers including flexible bronchoscopy (FB). The objective of this study was to assess the clinical course of patients who underwent FB while on VV-ECMO for ARDS. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of a retrospective multi-center cohort at 10 United States pediatric academic quaternary care centers. Data were collected on 204 subjects age 14 d-18 y on VV-ECMO. RESULTS 271 FBs were performed on 129 (63%) subjects. Pre-FB tidal volume was 1.8 mL/kg compared to 2.22 mL/kg following FB (P = .007). Dynamic compliance also improved from pre-FB to post-FB (2.23 vs 3.04 mL/cm H2O, P = .005). There was a low incidence of complications following FB (3.1%). Subjects in the FB group had fewer ECMO-free days (EFDs) (17.9 vs 22.1 d, P < .001), fewer ventilator-free days (VFDs) (40.0 vs 46.5 d, P = .001), and longer ICU length of stay (LOS) (18 vs 32 d, P < .001). Subjects in the early versus late FB group had more EFDs (19.4 vs 15.2 d, P = .003), more VFDs (43.0 vs 34.0 d, P = .004), and shorter ICU LOS (27.5 vs 35.5 d, P = .045). Mortality in the subjects who had at least one FB was 27.1% compared to 40% in the subjects who did not have a FB while on VV-ECMO (P = .057). CONCLUSIONS FB can be performed on patients while anticoagulated on VV-ECMO with a low incidence of complications. FB may be beneficial especially when performed early in the course of VV-ECMO.

Abstract
Neonatal and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved over the past 50 years. Advances in technology, expertise, and application have increased the number of centers providing ECMO with expanded indications for use. However, increasing the use of ECMO in recent years to more medically complex critically ill children has not changed overall survival despite increased experience and improvements in technology. This review focuses on ECMO history, circuits, indications and contraindications, management, complications, and outcome data. The authors highlight important areas of progress, including unintubated and awake patients on ECMO, application during the COVID-19 pandemic, and future directions.

Abstract
Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children receiving haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and immune effector cell therapy is controversial and evidence-based guidelines have not been established. Remarkable advancements in HCT and immune effector cell therapies have changed expectations around reversibility of organ dysfunction and survival for affected patients. Herein, members of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO), Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Network (HCT and cancer immunotherapy subgroup), the Pediatric Diseases Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), the supportive care committee of the Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC), and the Pediatric Intensive Care Oncology Kids in Europe Research (POKER) group of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) provide consensus recommendations on the use of ECMO in children receiving HCT and immune effector cell therapy. These are the first international, multidisciplinary consensus-based recommendations on the use of ECMO in this patient population. This Review provides a clinical decision support tool for paediatric haematologists, oncologists, and critical care physicians during the difficult decision-making process of ECMO candidacy and management. These recommendations can represent a base for future research studies focused on ECMO selection criteria and bedside management.

Abstract
Background The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric patients with underlying malignancies remains controversial. However, in an era in which the survival rates for children with malignancies have increased significantly and several recent reports have demonstrated effective ECMO use in children with cancer, we aimed to estimate the outcome and complications of ECMO treatment in these children. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL databases for studies on the use ECMO in pediatric patients with an underlying malignancy from inception to September 2020. This review was conducted in adherence to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement. Study eligibility was independently assessed by two authors and disagreements resolved by a third author. Included studies were evaluated for quality using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS). Random effects meta-analyses (DerSimonian and Laird) were performed. The primary outcomes were mortality during ECMO or hospital mortality. Results Thirteen retrospective, observational cohort studies were included, most of moderate quality (625 patients). The commonest indication for ECMO was severe respiratory failure (92%). Pooled mortality during ECMO was 55% (95% confidence interval [CI], 47–63%) and pooled hospital mortality was 60% (95% CI 54–67%). Although heterogeneity among the included studies was low, confidence intervals were large. In addition, the majority of the data were derived from registries with overlapping patients which were excluded for the meta-analyses to prevent resampling of the same participants across the included studies. Finally, there was a lack of consistent complications reporting among the studies. Conclusion Significantly higher mortalities than in general PICU patients was reported with the use of ECMO in children with malignancies. Although these results need to be interpreted with caution due to the lack of granular data, they suggest that ECMO appears to represents a viable rescue option for selected patients with underlying malignancies. There is an urgent need for additional data to define patients for whom ECMO may provide benefit or harm.

Tracheostomy and long-term mechanical ventilation in children after veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Pediatr Pulmonol 2021; 56:3005-3012.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective is to characterize the incidence of tracheostomy placement and of new requirement for long-term mechanical ventilation after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) among children with acute respiratory failure. We examine whether an association exists between demographics, pre-ECMO and ECMO clinical factors, and the placement of a tracheostomy or need for long-term mechanical ventilation. METHODS A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted at 10 quaternary care pediatric academic centers, including children supported with veno-venous (V-V) ECMO from 2011 to 2016. RESULTS Among 202 patients, 136 (67%) survived to ICU discharge. All tracheostomies were placed after ECMO decannulation, in 22 patients, with 19 of those surviving to ICU discharge (14% of survivors). Twelve patients (9% of survivors) were discharged on long-term mechanical ventilation. Tracheostomy placement and discharge on home ventilation were not associated with pre-ECMO severity of illness or pre-existing chronic illness. Patients who received a tracheostomy were older and weighed more than patients who did not receive a tracheostomy, although this association did not exist among patients discharged on home ventilation. ECMO duration was longer in those who received a tracheostomy compared with those who did not, as well as for those discharged on home ventilation, compared to those who were not. CONCLUSION The 14% rate for tracheostomy placement and 9% rate for discharge on long-term mechanical ventilation after V-V ECMO are important patient-centered findings. This study informs anticipatory guidance provided to families of patients requiring prolonged respiratory ECMO support, and lays the foundation for future research.

Abstract
We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of children with 14 days to 18 years of age in the United States from 2011 to 2016 with cancer or hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) who were supported with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). We compared the outcomes of children with oncological diagnoses or HCT supported with V-V ECMO to other children who have received V-V ECMO support. In this cohort of 204 patients supported with V-V ECMO, 30 (15%) had a diagnosis of cancer or a history of HCT. There were 21 patients who had oncological diagnoses without HCT and 9 children were post-HCT. The oncology/HCT group had a higher overall ICU mortality (67% vs. 28%, P < 0.001), mortality on ECMO (43% vs. 21%, P < 0.01), and ICU mortality among ECMO survivors (35% vs. 8%, P < 0.01). The oncology/HCT group had a higher rate of conversion to veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO (23% vs. 9%, P = 0.02) (RR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.1-5.6). Children with cancer or HCT were older (6.6 vs. 2.9 years, P = 0.02) and had higher creatinine levels (0.65 vs. 0.4 mg/dL, P = 0.04) but were similar to the rest of the cohort for other pre-ECMO variables. For post-HCT patients, survival was significantly worse for those whose indication for HCT was cancer or immunodeficiency (0/6) as compared to other nonmalignant indications (3/3) (P = 0.01).

Abstract
Advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology are associated with expanded indications, increased utilization and improved outcome. There is growing interest in developing ECMO prognostication scores to aid in bedside decision making. To date, the majority of available scores have been limited to mostly registry-based data and with mortality as the main outcome of interest. There continues to be a gap in clinically applicable decision support tools to aid in the timing of ECMO cannulation to improve patients' long-term outcomes. We present a brief review of the commonly available adult and pediatric ECMO prognostication tools, their limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for severe respiratory and/or circulatory failure. Few data exist on the potential benefit of ECMO in immunocompromised pediatric patients with cancer and/or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Over a period of 12 years, eleven (1.9%) of 572 patients with new diagnosis of leukemia/lymphoma and nine (3.5%) of 257 patients post allogeneic HCT underwent ECMO at our center. Five (45%) and two (22%) patients, respectively, survived to hospital discharge with a median event-free survival of 4.2 years. Experiences and outcomes in this cohort may aid clinicians and families when considering ECMO for individual patients.

Abstract
The high mortality of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is partly related to fluid overload. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to treat pediatric patients with severe PARDS, but can result in acute kidney injury (AKI) and worsening fluid overload. The objective of this study was to determine whether the addition of CRRT to ECMO in patients with PARDS is associated with increased mortality. Methods: We conducted a retrospective 7-year study of patients with PARDS requiring ECMO and divided them into those requiring CRRT and those not requiring CRRT. We calculated severity of illness scores, the amount of blood products administered to both groups, and determined the impact of CRRT on mortality and morbidity. Results: We found no significant difference in severity of illness scores except the vasoactive inotropic score (VIS, 45 ± 71 vs. 139 ± 251, p = 0.042), which was significantly elevated during the initiation and the first three days of ECMO. CRRT was associated with an increase in the use of blood products and noradrenaline (p < 0.01) without changing ECMO duration, length of PICU stay or mortality. Conclusion: The addition of CRRT to ECMO is associated with a greater consumption of blood products but no increase in mortality.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for the pediatric and neonatal population continues to grow. At the same time, there have been dramatic improvements in the technology and safety of ECLS that have broadened the scope of its application. This article will review the evolving landscape of ECLS, including its expanding indications and shrinking contraindications. It will also describe traditional and hybrid cannulation strategies as well as changes in circuit components such as servo regulation, non-thrombogenic surfaces, and paracorporeal lung-assist devices. Finally, it will outline the modern approach to managing a patient on ECLS, including anticoagulation, sedation, rehabilitation, nutrition, and staffing.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the association of vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) and vasoactive-ventilation-renal (VVR) score with in-hospital mortality and functional outcomes at discharge of children who receive ECMO. A sub-analysis of the multicenter, prospectively collected data by the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN) for Bleeding and Thrombosis on ECMO (BATE database) was conducted. Of the 514 patients who received ECMO across eight centers from December 2012 to February 2016, 421 were included in the analysis. Patients > 18 years of age, patients placed on ECMO directly from cardiopulmonary bypass or as an exit procedure, or patients with an invalid or missing VIS score were excluded. Higher VIS (OR = 1.008, 95% CI: 1.002-1.014, p = 0.011) and VVR (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.001-1.012, p = 0.023) were associated with increased mortality. VIS was associated with worse Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) (OR = 1.027, 95% CI: 1.010-1.044, p = 0.002) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) score (OR = 1.023, 95% CI: 1.009-1.038, p = 0.002) at discharge. No association was found between VIS or VVR and Functional Status Score (FSS) at discharge. Using multivariable analyses, controlling for ECMO mode, ECMO location, ECMO indication, primary diagnosis, and chronic diagnosis, extremely high VIS and VVR were still associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
Though commonly used for adjustment of risk, severity of illness and mortality risk prediction scores, based on the first 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, have not been validated in the pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) population. We aimed to determine the association of Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2), Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score III (PRISM III) and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores with mortality in pediatric patients on ECMO. This was a retrospective cohort study of children ≤18 years of age included in the Pediatric ECMO Outcomes Registry (PEDECOR) from 2014 to 2018. Logistic regression and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves were used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to evaluate association of mortality with the scores. Of the 655 cases, 289 (44.1%) did not survive until hospital discharge. AUCs for PIM2, PRISM III, and PELOD predicting mortality were 0.52, 0.52, and 0.51 respectively. PIM2, PRISM III, and PELOD scores are not associated with odds of mortality for pediatric patients receiving ECMO. These scores for a general pediatric ICU population should not be used for prognostication or risk stratification of a select population such as ECMO patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction (PEP) model was created to provide risk stratification for all pediatric patients requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Our purpose was to externally validate the model using contemporaneous cases submitted to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective analysis included pediatric patients (<19 years) during their initial ECLS run for all indications between January 2012 and September 2014. Median values from the BATE dataset for activated partial thromboplastin time and internationalized normalized ratio were used as surrogates as these were missing in the ELSO group. Model discrimination was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and goodness-of-fit was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. RESULTS A total of 4,342 patients in the ELSO registry were compared to 514 subjects from the bleeding and thrombosis on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (BATE) dataset used to develop the PEP model. Overall mortality was similar (42% ELSO vs. 45% BATE). The c-statistic after external validation decreased from 0.75 to 0.64 and model calibration decreases most in the highest risk deciles. CONCLUSION Discrimination of the PEP model remains modest after external validation using the largest pediatric ECLS cohort. While the model overestimates mortality for the highest risk patients, it remains the only prediction model applicable to both neonates and pediatric patients who require ECLS for any indication and thus maintains potential for application in research and quality benchmarking.

Abstract
Brain injury is a significant source of morbidity and mortality for pediatric patients treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). Our objective was to utilize neural networks to predict radiographic evidence of brain injury in pediatric ECMO-supported patients and identify specific variables that can be explored for future research. Data from 174 ECMO-supported patients were collected up to 24 h prior to, and for the duration of, the ECMO course. Thirty-five variables were collected, including physiological data, markers of end-organ perfusion, acid-base homeostasis, vasoactive infusions, markers of coagulation, and ECMO-machine factors. The primary outcome was the presence of radiologic evidence of moderate to severe brain injury as established by brain CT or MRI. This information was analyzed by a neural network, and results were compared to a logistic regression model as well as clinician judgement. The neural network model was able to predict brain injury with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.76, 73% sensitivity, and 80% specificity. Logistic regression had 62% sensitivity and 61% specificity. Clinician judgment had 39% sensitivity and 69% specificity. Sequential feature group masking demonstrated a relatively greater contribution of physiological data and minor contribution of coagulation factors to the model's performance. These findings lay the foundation for further areas of research directions.

Abstract
Introduction: Epidemics and pandemics from zoonotic respiratory viruses, such as the 2019 novel coronavirus, can lead to significant global intensive care burden as patients progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A subset of these patients develops refractory hypoxaemia despite maximal conventional mechanical ventilation and require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This review focuses on considerations for ventilatory strategies, infection control and patient selection related to ECMO for ARDS in a pandemic. We also summarise the experiences with ECMO in previous respiratory pandemics. Materials and Methods: A review of pertinent studies was conducted via a search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar. References of articles were also examined to identify other relevant publications. Results: Since the H1N1 Influenza pandemic in 2009, the use of ECMO for ARDS continues to grow despite limitations in evidence for survival benefit. There is emerging evidence to suggest that lung protective ventilation for ARDS can be further optimised while receiving ECMO so as to minimise ventilator-induced lung injury and subsequent contributions to multi-organ failure. Efforts to improve outcomes should also encompass appropriate infection control measures to reduce co-infections and prevent nosocomial transmission of novel respiratory viruses. Patient selection for ECMO in a pandemic can be challenging. We discuss important ethical considerations and predictive scoring systems that may assist clinical decision-making to optimise resource allocation. Conclusion: The role of ECMO in managing ARDS during respiratory pandemics continues to grow. This is supported by efforts to redefine optimal ventilatory strategies, reinforce infection control measures and enhance patient selection.

Abstract
This study evaluates whether three commonly used pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) severity of illness scores, pediatric risk of mortality score (PRISM) III, pediatric index of mortality (PIM) 2, and pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD), are the appropriate tools to discriminate mortality risk in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for respiratory failure. This study also evaluates the ability of the Pediatric Risk Estimate Score for Children Using Extracorporeal Respiratory Support (Ped-RESCUERS) to discriminate mortality risk in the same population, and whether Ped-RESCUERS' discrimination of mortality is improved by additional clinical and laboratory measures of renal, hepatic, neurologic, and hematologic dysfunction. A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study was conducted on children aged 29 days to 17 years with respiratory failure requiring respiratory ECMO support. Discrimination of mortality was evaluated with the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC); model calibration was measured by the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test and Brier score. Admission PRISM-III, PIM-2, and PELOD were found to have poor ability to discriminate mortality with an AUC of 0.56 [0.46-0.66], 0.53 [0.43-0.62], and 0.57 [0.47-0.67], respectively. Alternatively, Ped-RESCUERS performed better with an AUC of 0.68 [0.59-0.77]. Higher alanine aminotransferase, ratio of the arterial partial pressure of oxygen the fraction of inspired oxygen, and lactic acidosis were independently associated with mortality and, when added to Ped-RESCUERS, resulted in an AUC of 0.75 [0.66-0.82]. Admission PRISM-III, PIM-2, and PELOD should not be used for pre-ECMO risk adjustment because they do not discriminate death. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation population-derived scores should be used to risk adjust ECMO populations as opposed to general PICU population-derived scores.

Impact of Left Atrial Decompression on Patient Outcomes During Pediatric Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case-Control Study. Pediatr Cardiol 2019; 40:1266-1274.

Abstract
Left heart distension during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) often necessitates decompression to facilitate myocardial recovery and prevent life-threatening complications. The objectives of this study were to compare clinical outcomes between patients who did and did not undergo left atrial (LA) decompression, quantify decompression efficacy, and identify risk factors for development of left heart distension. This was a single-center retrospective case-control study. Pediatric VA ECMO patients who underwent LA decompression from June 2004 to March 2016 were identified, and a control cohort of VA ECMO patients who did not undergo LA decompression were matched based on diagnosis, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and age. Among 194 VA ECMO cases, 21 (11%) underwent LA decompression. Compared to the control cohort, patients with decompression had longer hospital length of stay (60 ± 55 vs. 27 ± 23 days, p = 0.012), but similar in-hospital mortality (29% vs. 38%, p = 0.513). Decompression successfully decreased mean LA pressure (24 ± 11 to 14 ± 4 mmHg, p = 0.022) and LA:RA pressure gradient (10 ± 7 to 0 ± 1 mmHg, p = 0.011). No significant differences in early quantitative measures of cardiac function were observed between cases and controls to identify risk factors for left heart distension. Despite higher qualitative risk for impaired cardiac recovery, patients who underwent LA decompression had comparable outcomes to those who did not. Given that traditional quantitative measures of cardiac function are insufficient to predict development of eventual left heart distension, a combination of clinical history, radiographic findings, hemodynamic monitoring, and laboratory markers should be used during the evaluation and management of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a prognostic model for predicting mortality at time of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation for children which is important for determining center-specific risk-adjusted outcomes. DESIGN Multivariable logistic regression using a large national cohort of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients. SETTING The ICUs of the eight tertiary care children's hospitals of the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network. PATIENTS Five-hundred fourteen children (< 19 yr old), enrolled with an initial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation run for any indication between January 2012 and September 2014. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 514 first extracorporeal membrane oxygenation runs were analyzed with an overall mortality of 45% (n = 232). Weighted logistic regression was used for model selection and internal validation was performed using cross validation. The variables included in the Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction model were age (pre-term neonate, full-term neonate, infant, child, and adolescent), indication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, cardiac, or respiratory), meconium aspiration, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, documented blood stream infection, arterial blood pH, partial thromboplastin time, and international normalized ratio. The highest risk of mortality was associated with the presence of a documented blood stream infection (odds ratio, 5.26; CI, 1.90-14.57) followed by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (odds ratio, 4.36; CI, 2.23-8.51). The C-statistic was 0.75 (95% CI, 0.70-0.80). CONCLUSIONS The Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prediction model represents a model for predicting in-hospital mortality among children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for any indication. Consequently, it holds promise as the first comprehensive pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation risk stratification model which is important for benchmarking extracorporeal membrane oxygenation outcomes across many centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES There is controversy regarding the utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric patients with an underlying oncologic diagnosis or who have undergone hematopoietic cell transplant. We hypothesized that these patients have higher mortality, more bleeding complications, more blood product utilization, and a higher rate of new infections than the general pediatric intensive care unit population supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. DESIGN/METHODS This is a retrospective chart review at a single center quaternary care pediatric hospital including all pediatric intensive care unit extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients from 2011 to 2016. Patients were categorized as either oncology/hematopoietic cell transplant or general pediatric intensive care unit. Patients from the cardiovascular intensive care unit or the neonatal intensive care unit were excluded. RESULTS A total of 38 patients met inclusion criteria of which 7 were oncology/hematopoietic cell transplant patients. The oncology/hematopoietic cell transplant group had lower platelets at the start of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (p = 0.02) but other pre-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation characteristics were similar. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation survival was lower in the oncology/hematopoietic cell transplant group (29% vs 77%, p = 0.02). The incidence of bleeding complications and new infections did not differ. The oncology/hematopoietic cell transplant group received more platelets (median of 15.9 mL/kg/day (interquartile range 8.4, 36.6) vs 7.9 mL/kg/day (3.3, 21.9), p = 0.04) and fresh frozen plasma (14.0 mL/kg/day (3, 15.7) vs 1.8 mL/kg/day (0.5, 5.9), p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant patients had a higher mortality and received more blood products while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation than the general pediatric intensive care unit patients despite similar pre-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation characteristics. Physicians should use caution when deciding whether or not to utilize extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bordetella pertussis can cause fatal illness with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pulmonary hypertension (PHT). CASE PRESENTATION A 6-month-old non-vaccinated boy with B. pertussis infection who developed ARDS was treated by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). During his ECMO support stage, sudden occurred decreasing of ECMO flow implied increasing intrathoracic pressure. The airway spasm followed caused sudden drop of ventilator tidal volume as well as poor lung compliance. Prone position ventilation and bundle care were conducted as lung protection ventilator strategy. After 297-h of ECMO support, the patient was weaned off ECMO, and extubated one week later. CONCLUSIONS In this patient with severe ARDS caused by Bordetella pertussis, ECMO was performed for cardiopulmonary support and rescued the infant with severe pertussis. During ECMO support period, prone position ventilation and care bundle nursing strategy contributed to the relief of continuous airway spasm.

Abstract
PURPOSE To create a real-time prediction tool to predict probability of ECMO deployment in children with cardiac or pulmonary failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients ≤18 years old admitted to an ICU that participated in the Virtual Pediatric Systems database (2009-2015) were included. Logistic regression models using adaptive lasso methodology were used to identify independent factors associated with ECMO use. RESULTS A total of 538,202 ICU patients from 140 ICUs qualified for inclusion. ECMO was deployed in 3484 patients (0.6%) with a mortality of 1450 patients (41.6%). The factors associated with increased probability of ECMO use included: younger age, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, high-complexity cardiac surgery, cardiomyopathy, acute lung injury, shock, renal failure, cardiac arrest, use of nitric oxide, use of either conventional mechanical ventilation or high frequency oscillatory ventilation, and higher annual ECMO center volume. The area under the receiver operating curve for this model was 0.90 (95% CI: 0.85-0.93). This tool can be accessed at https://soipredictiontool.shinyapps.io/ECMORisk/. CONCLUSIONS Here, we present a tool to predict ECMO deployment among critically ill children; this tool will help create real-time risk stratification among critically ill children, and it will help with benchmarking, family counseling, and research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The disease burden and mortality of children with pulmonary hypertension are significantly higher than for the general PICU population. We aimed to develop a risk-adjustment tool predicting PICU mortality for pediatric pulmonary hypertension patients: the Pediatric Index of Pulmonary Hypertension Intensive Care Mortality score. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected multicenter pediatric critical care data. SETTING One-hundred forty-three centers submitting data to Virtual Pediatric Systems database between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2015. PATIENTS Patients 21 years old or younger with a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. INTERVENTIONS Twenty-one demographic, diagnostic, and physiologic variables obtained within 12 hours of PICU admission were assessed for inclusion. Multivariable logistic regression with stepwise selection was performed to develop the final model. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to compare the Pediatric Index of Pulmonary Hypertension Intensive Care Mortality score with Pediatric Risk of Mortality 3 and Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 scores. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Fourteen-thousand two-hundred sixty-eight admissions with a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension were included. Primary outcome was PICU mortality. Fourteen variables were selected for the final model: age, bradycardia, systolic hypotension, tachypnea, pH, FIO2, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, mechanical ventilation, nonelective admission, previous PICU admission, PICU admission due to nonsurgical cardiovascular disease, and cardiac arrest immediately prior to admission. The receiver operating characteristic curve for the Pediatric Index of Pulmonary Hypertension Intensive Care Mortality model (area under the curve = 0.77) performed significantly better than the receiver operating characteristic curves for Pediatric Risk of Mortality 3 (area under the curve = 0.71; p < 0.001) and Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (area under the curve = 0.69; p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The Pediatric Index of Pulmonary Hypertension Intensive Care Mortality score is a parsimonious model that performs better than Pediatric Risk of Mortality 3 and Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 for mortality in a multicenter cohort of pediatric pulmonary hypertension patients admitted to PICUs. Application of the Pediatric Index of Pulmonary Hypertension Intensive Care Mortality model to pulmonary hypertension patients in the PICU might facilitate earlier identification of patients at high risk for mortality and improve the ability to prognosticate for patients and families.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as ultimate salvage therapy for hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients remains controversial among oncologists and critical care specialists. Prognosis is poor, particularly after allogeneic transplantation, and literature to guide clinical decision-making is scarce. Our report describes successful ECLS in a pediatric patient undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, who developed acute respiratory failure during severe neutropenia, followed by immediate neutrophil engraftment. This unique case highlights periengraftment respiratory failure as a possible patient subgroup that could benefit from ECLS; and illustrates that the distinct etiologies of respiratory failure and the patients' immune status deserve closer consideration in future studies evaluating ECLS in this high-risk population.

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to describe the international growth, outcomes, complications, and technology used in pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS) from 2009 to 2015 as reported by participating centers in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO). To date, there are 59,969 children who have received ECLS in the ELSO Registry; among those, 21,907 received ECLS since 2009 with an overall survival to hospital discharge rate of 61%. In 2009, 2,409 ECLS cases were performed at 157 centers. By 2015, that number grew to 2,992 cases in 227 centers, reflecting a 24% increase in patients and 55% growth in centers. ECLS delivered to neonates (0-28 days) for respiratory support was the largest subcategory of ECLS among children <18-years old. Overall, 48% of ECLS was delivered for respiratory support and 52% was for cardiac support or extracorporeal life support to support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). During the study period, over half of children were supported on ECLS with centrifugal pumps (51%) and polymethylpentene oxygenators (52%). Adverse events including neurologic events were common during ECLS, a fact that underscores the opportunity and need to promote quality improvement work.
