Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation uses in trauma: a retrospective analysis of the Japanese nationwide trauma registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can provide temporary circulatory support and vital organ oxygenation and is potentially useful as a bridge therapy in some trauma cases. We aimed to demonstrate the characteristics and outcomes of patients with trauma treated with veno-arterial ECMO (V-A ECMO) using data from a Japanese nationwide trauma registry.

Methods

This retrospective descriptive study analyzed data from the Japan Trauma Data Bank between January 2019 and December 2021. Patients with severe trauma (injury severity score [ISS] ≥ 9) and treated using V-A ECMO were assessed.

Results

Among the 72,439 patients with severe trauma, 51 received V-A ECMO. Sixteen patients (31.3%) survived until hospital discharge. On hospital arrival, six (37.5%) sur
