Pressure Support Ventilation During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: In the initial phases of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ultraprotective controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) is typically employed to limit the progression of lung injury. As patients recover, transitioning to assisted mechanical ventilation can be considered to reduce the need for prolonged sedation and paralysis. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of transitioning to pressure support ventilation (PSV) during VV ECMO and to explore variations in respiratory mechanics and oxygenation parameters following the transition to PSV. This retrospective monocentric study included 191 adult ARDS patients treated with VV ECMO between 2009 and 2022. Within this population, 131 (69%) patients were su
