Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for tuberculosis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome: An international multicentre retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To report the outcomes of patients with severe tuberculosis (TB)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), including predictors of 90-day mortality and associated complications.

Methods

An international multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 20 ECMO centers across 13 countries between 2002 and 2022.

Results

We collected demographic data, clinical details, ECMO-related complications, and 90-day survival status for 79 patients (median APACHE II score of 20 [25th to 75th percentile, 16 to 28], median age 39 [28 to 48] years, PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio of 69 [55 to 82] mmHg before ECMO) who met the inclusion criteria. Thoracic computed tomography showed that 61 patients (77%) had cavita
