Prognosis After Seven Days of Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prognostication in patients receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) remains challenging, particularly during prolonged support. Accurate prognostic indicators are essential for patients, caregivers, and clinicians. This study evaluates outcomes in patients supported with V-V ECMO for at least seven days.

Methods

We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients cannulated for V-V ECMO due to respiratory failure. The primary endpoint was hospital survival. The subgroup of patients still on V-V ECMO on day 7, stratified by respirator and ECMO parameters, was analyzed with respect to predictors of the primary outcome. A survival favorability margin was defined as the bound of the hospital survivors' 95% confidence interv
