CPR during VV-ECMO

Details and patient eligibility

About

In-hospital cardiovascular arrest is associated with poor outcome despite prompt treatment and optimal on-site resources. The population of patients treated by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) due to pulmonary failure is a very challenging group of patients. To date, the frequency, causes and outcome of cardiovascular arrest in these patients have not been studied. We are aiming to conduct a retrospective observational study of all vv-ECMO patients treated at our ARDS centre.

Enrollment: 117 patients

Inclusion criteria

Patients treated with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) due to respiratory failure during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Exclusion criteria

Patients treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va-ECMO)

Trial design

117 participants in 2 patient groups

cardiopulmonary resuscitation during treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Description:

Patients treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during the retrospective observation period who required mechanical cardiovascular resuscitation (CPR) during their treatment.

Treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation without resuscitation

Description:

Patients treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) without the need for cardiovascular resuscitation during the retrospective observation period.
