Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for Influenza A: Retrospective Review of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry Comparing H1N1 With Other Subtypes.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Although there is a substantial published experience of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during the H1N1 pandemic, less is known about the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with other subtypes of the influenza A virus. We hypothesized that the severity of illness and survival of patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation would differ for those with H1N1 influenza A compared with other subtypes of influenza A.

Design setting patients

Retrospective study of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-supported adults (> 18 yr) with influenza A viral infection reported to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry between 2009 and 2019. We describe the frequency and compare characteristics and factors associated with in-hos
