Immediate Clinical Complications Occurring During Membrane Change in Patients on Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

ABSTRACT: The clinical tolerance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) membrane changes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients under veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO) has not been reported. The aim of this study was to describe the tolerance of membrane change. Patients requiring VV-ECMO were retrospectively included between March 2020 and May 2022. In case of membrane dysfunction or an increase in hemolysis markers or an alteration in gas exchange, a membrane change was performed. The primary outcome was a composite measure defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following events within 1 hour of membrane change: severe hypoxemia, hemodynamic collapse, bradycardia, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, and death. During the study period, 70 patients required a VV-ECMO, 29 (41%) of w
