Abstract Purpose Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the primary indication for transplanted right heart failure in transition and postoperative period for heart transplantation patients. This study explored risk factors affecting the clinical prognosis of ECMO through analyzing the clinical data of heart transplantation patients with such condition. Methods Data on 28 heart transplantation patients with ECMO obtained from January 2012 to January 2018 in the People’s Hospital of Zhongshan City were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 25 patients (20 male and 5 female) were included in this study. Heart transplantation among patients was performed mainly due to cardiomyopathy (77.8%). Eighteen patients survived and were discharged 18 (72%). Four patients were treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation before ECMO, and three patients died in the hospital. No differences existed among the surviving and death group donors (N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide（NT-proBNP）, creatine kinase-muscle/brain（CK-MB）, warm ischemia time of donated heart, cold ischemia time of donated heart, total ischemia time of donated heart, and donator type). Univariate analysis showed that body mass index(BMI), length of stay in intensive care unit(ICU), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation are relevant prognosis factors in applying ECMO for patients with heart transplantation. Multi-factor logistic regression results show that cardiopulmonary resuscitation before ECMO (OR: 49.45, 95% CI[1.37, 1781.6]; P=0.033) is an independent risk factor influencing prognosis. Conclusion ECMO is an important life support method for patients with heart transplantation before and after the operation. Patients with obesity, poor preoperative cardiac function, and considerable red blood cell transfusions during surgery may influence the prognosis of patients. Extracardiac compression before ECMO of patients is an independent risk factor for their prognosis.

Purpose: Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug resistant (MDR), gram-negative bacterium commonly implicated in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically ill patients. Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) with VAP often subsequently develop A baumannii bacteremia, which may significantly worsen outcomes. Materials and Methods: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical and laboratory records of 129 ICU patients spanning 6 years with MDR A baumannii VAP; 46 (35%) of these patients had concomitant MDR A baumannii bacteremia. Results: The ICU mortality rate was higher in patients with VAP having A baumannii bacteremia compared to nonbacteremic patients (32.4% vs 9.6% respectively, P < .005). Age >65 years, an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) score higher than 20, a Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score higher than 7 on the day of bacteremia, and the presence of comorbid disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] and chronic renal failure) were found to be independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in this population. Multidrug resistant A baumannii was not an independent risk factor for mortality. Conclusion: Although the presence of comorbid diseases (COPD and chronic renal failure) and severity of disease (APACHE > 20 and SOFA >7) were found to be independent risk factors for ICU mortality, MDR A baumannii bacteremia was not an independent risk factor for mortality in our critically ill population.

Objective: To evaluate risk factors for hemolysis in pediatric extracorporeal life support. Design: Retrospective, single-center study. Setting: Pediatric intensive care unit. Patients: Two hundred thirty-six children who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: Risk factors for hemolysis were retrospectively analyzed from a single center in a total of 236 neonatal and pediatric patients who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO). There was no difference in the incidence of hemolysis between centrifugal (127 patients) and roller head (109 patients) pump type or between venoarterial and venovenous ECMO. High hemoglobin (Hb) was found to be an independent risk factor for hemolysis in both pump types. The Hb level >12 g/dL was significant in the roller group and the Hb level >13 g/dL was significant in the centrifugal group for the development of hemolysis for the cumulative ECMO run. The presence of high Hb levels on any given day increased the risk of hemolysis for that day of the ECMO run regardless of ECMO pump type. Higher revolutions per minute (RPMs) and higher inlet pressures on any given day increased the risk for the development of hemolysis in the centrifugal pump. Lower inlet venous pressures and RPMs were not associated with hemolysis in the roller group. Conclusions: An Hb level greater than 13 g/dL was associated with an increased risk of hemolysis, and a high Hb on a given day was associated with a significantly higher risk of hemolysis on the same day. Higher RPMs and lower inlet venous pressures were associated with an increased risk of hemolysis in the centrifugal pump only.

Introduction: Patients who develop severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) despite full medical management may require veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) to support respiratory function. Survival outcomes remain unclear in those who develop acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during VV ECMO for isolated severe respiratory failure in adult populations. Methods: A retrospective chart review (2010-2016) of patients who underwent VV ECMO for ARDS was conducted with university institutional review board (IRB) approval. Patients supported by veno-arterial ECMO were excluded. AKI was defined by acute renal failure receiving CRRT and the outcomes of patients on VV ECMO were compared between the AKI and non-AKI groups. Results: We identified 54 ARDS patients supported by VV ECMO (mean ECMO days 12 ± 6.7) with 16 (30%) in the AKI group and 38 (70%) in the non-AKI group. No patient had previous renal failure and the serum creatinine was not significantly different between the two groups at the time of ECMO initiation. The AKI group showed a greater incidence of complications during ECMO, including liver failure (38% vs. 5%, p=0.002) and hemorrhage (94% vs. 45%, p=0.0008). ECMO survival of the AKI group (56% [9/16]) was inferior to the non-AKI group (87% [33/38], p=0.014). Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that VV ECMO successfully manages patients with severe isolated lung injury. However, once patients develop AKI during VV ECMO, they are likely to further develop multi-organ dysfunction, including hepatic and hematological complications, leading to inferior survival.

Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support is a well-established tool in the care of severe refractory cardiac and respiratory failure. The application of this support may serve as a bridge to transplant, recovery or to implantation of a ventricular assist device. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support can be administered through an open surgical access via the common femoral or axillary artery or a percutaneous approach using Seldinger technique. Both techniques may obstruct the blood flow to the lower limb and may cause a significant ischemia with possible limb loss. Malperfusion of the distal limb can be avoided using an ipsilateral distal limb perfusion, which may be established by adding a single-lumen catheter during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment to overcome the obstruction. The aim of this study is to distinguish the presence or absence of a distal limb perfusion regarding the incidence of distal limb ischemia. Furthermore, expected risk factors of open and percutaneous femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation installation were evaluated for the development of distal limb ischemia. Methods: Between January 2012 and September 2015, 489 patients received venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support at our institution. In total, 307 patients (204 male, 103 female) with femoral cannulation were included in the analysis. The cohort was distinguished by the presence (group A; n = 237) or absence (group B; n = 70) of a distal limb perfusion during peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment. Furthermore, a risk factor analysis for the development of distal limb ischemia was performed. Results: The main indications for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy were a low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) (53%) and failed weaning of extracorporeal circulation (23%). A total of 23 patients (7.49%) under venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support developed severe distal limb malperfusion (3.38% in group A vs 21.42% in group B). Preemptive installation of distal limb perfusion extended the intervention-free intervals to 7.8 ± 19.3 days in group A and 6.3 ± 12.5 in group B. A missing distal limb perfusion (p = 0.001) was identified as a main risk factor for critical limb ischemia. Other comorbidities such as arterial occlusion disease (p = 0.738) were not statistically significantly associated. Surgical intervention due to vascular complications after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation explantation was needed in 14 cases (4.22% in group A and 5.71% in group B). Conclusion: We were able to identify the absence of distal limb perfusion as an independent risk factor for the development of critical distal limb ischemia during femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment. The application of a distal limb perfusion should be considered as a mandatory approach in the context of femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment regardless of the implantation technique.
