Impact of ventilator settings during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on clinical outcomes in influenza-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with influenza-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) support have a high mortality rate. Ventilator settings have been known to have a substantial impact on outcomes. However, the optimal settings of mechanical ventilation during vv-ECMO are still unknown.

Methods

This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted in the intensive care units (ICUs) of three tertiary referral hospitals in Taiwan between July 2009 and December 2019. It aims to describe the effect of ventilator settings during vv-ECMO on patient outcomes.

Results

A total of 93 patients with influenza receiving ECMO were screened. Patients were excluded if they: were receiving venoarterial ECMO, d
