Treatment time limit for successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Knowing the upper time limit for successful weaning from temporary mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock will help with decision-making regarding advanced heart failure (HF) therapy or considering withdrawal of care. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the support duration and successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock.

Methods and results

A retrospective single-centre cohort study was conducted between January 2013 and June 2023. It included 100 consecutive patients with cardiogenic shock who were treated with VA-ECMO. Patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were excluded. The primary outcome was successful weaning from VA-ECMO (i.e., VA-ECMO deca
