Early Blood Pressure Variables Associated With Improved Outcomes in VA-ECLS: The ELSO Registry Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As utilization of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) in treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS) continues to expand, clinical variables that guide clinicians in early recognition of myocardial recovery and therefore, improved survival, after VA-ECLS are critical. There remains a paucity of literature on early postinitiation blood pressure measurements that predict improved outcomes.

Objectives

The objective of this study is to help identify early blood pressure variables associated with improved outcomes in VA-ECLS.

Methods

The authors queried the ELSO (Extracorporeal Life Support Organization) registry for cardiogenic shock patients treated with VA-ECLS or venovenous arterial ECLS between 2009 and 2020. Their inclusion criteria included treatm
