Project description:BackgroundThe application of prone position (PP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) supported by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is controversial.ObjectivesTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of application of PP during VV-ECMO in patients with ARDS.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study of patients who met the Berlin definition of ARDS, and were supported with VV-ECMO. We divided the patients into two groups. The prone group included patients who were supported by VV-ECMO, and experienced at least one period of PP, while those without PP during VV-ECMO were defined as the supine group. Propensity score matching (PSM) at a ratio of 1:1 was introduced to minimize potential confounders. The primary outcomes were the complications of PP and the change of arterial oxygen pressure/fraction of the inspiration (PaO2/FiO2) ratio after PP. The secondary outcomes were hospital survival, ICU survival, and ECMO weaning rate.ResultsFrom April 2013 to October 2020, a total of 91 patients met the diagnostic criteria of ARDS who were supported with ECMO. 38 patients (41.8%) received at least one period of PP during ECMO, while 53 patients (58.2%) were maintained in supine position during ECMO. 22 minor complications were reported in the prone group and major complications were not found. The other ECMO-related complications were similar between two groups. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio significantly improved after PP compared with before (174.50 (132.40-228.25) mmHg vs. 158.00 (122.93-210.33) mmHg, p < 0.001). PSM selected 25 pairs of patients with similar characteristics. Hospital survival or ICU survival did not differ between the two groups (40% vs. 28%, p = 0.370; 40% vs. 32%, p = 0.556). Significant difference of ECMO weaning rate between two groups was not found (56% vs. 32%, p = 0.087).ConclusionsPP during VV-ECMO was safe and could improve oxygenation. A large-scale and well-designed RCT is needed in the future.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the association between bleeding from chest tubes and clinical outcomes in children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.DesignSecondary analysis of a large observational cohort study.SettingEight pediatric institutions within the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network.PatientsCritically ill children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsDaily chest tube bleeding, results from hemostatic assays, transfusion volumes, 90-day PICU-free days, and mortality were collected prospectively by trained bedside extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialists and research coordinators. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was employed in the care of 514 consecutive patients. Sixty percent of patients had at least one episode of chest tube bleeding (median chest tube blood volume over the entire extracorporeal membrane oxygenation course was 123 mL/kg [interquartile range, 47-319 mL/kg]). Twenty-six percent had at least 1 day of bleeding from the chest tube greater than 100 mL/kg/d. The number of days with chest tube bleeding greater than 60 mL/kg/d was independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.05-1.97; p = 0.02) and decreased PICU-free days (beta coefficient, -4.2; 95% CI, -7.7 to -0.6; p = 0.02). The total amount of bleeding from chest tube were independently associated with increased mortality (per mL/kg/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation run; adjusted odds ratio, 1.002; 95% CI, 1.000-1.003; p = 0.04). Fibrinogen, weight, indication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and need for hemodialysis were independently associated with chest tube bleeding, whereas platelet count, coagulation tests, heparin dose, and thrombotic events were not.ConclusionsIn children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, chest tube bleeding above 60 mL/kg/d was independently associated with worse clinical outcome. Low fibrinogen was independently associated with chest tube bleeding, whereas platelet count and hemostatic tests were not. Further research is needed to evaluate if interventions to prevent or stop chest tube bleeding influence the clinical outcome.
