Vascular complications based on mode of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vascular complications remain a prevalent and devastating complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Risks for vascular complications have risen as the volume and medical complexity of ECMO cases has rapidly increased in recent years. This study assesses occurrence and clinical impact of vascular complications across all ECMO modes and cannulation methods in a high-volume academic center.

Methods

A retrospective single-institution review was performed of all ECMO cannulations for central or peripheral venovenous (VV) or venoarterial (VA) ECMO in 2019-2020. Patients who expired during cannulation were excluded. Primary outcomes of vascular consultation rates at or after ECMO placement, limb loss, and mortality were assessed during index hospitaliza
