Early fluid balance and mortality following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a high volume, single center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For patients supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), a positive cumulative fluid balance at day three has been associated with increased mortality. However, there is limited evidence examining this association in patients requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). The aims of this study were to (1) to describe contemporary fluid practice in patients requiring ECPR and (2) assess the relationship between early cumulative fluid balance and 28-day mortality.

Methods

This was a retrospective, single centre, observational study using data collected from the EXCEL registry and the hospital electronic medical record. All patients undergoing ECPR from January 2017 until December 2022 were identified using a prospectiv
