Background: We aimed to use the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry to describe the current practice of rest mechanical ventilation setting in children receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) and to determine if relationships exist between ventilator settings and mortality. Methods: Data for patients 14 days to 18 years old who received V-V ECMO from 2012-2016 were reviewed. Mechanical ventilation data available includes mode and settings at 24 h after ECMO cannulation. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine if rest settings were associated with mortality. Results: We reviewed 1161 subjects, of which 1022 (88%) received conventional mechanical ventilation on ECMO. Rest settings, expressed as medians (25th%, 75th%), are as follows: rate 12 breaths/minute (10, 17); peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 22 cmH2O (20,27); positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 10 cmH2O (8, 10); and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) 0.4 (0.37, 0.60). Survival to discharge was 68%. Higher ventilator FiO2 (odds ratio:1.13 per 0.1 increase, 95% confidence interval:1.04, 1.23), independent of arterial oxygen saturation, was associated with mortality. Conclusions: Current rest ventilator management for children receiving V-V ECMO primarily relies on conventional mechanical ventilation with moderate amounts of PIP, PEEP, and FiO2. Further study on the relationship between FiO2 and mortality should be pursued.

Lung disease is America’s third largest killer, and responsible for one in seven deaths [1]. Most lung disease is chronic, and respiratory support is essential. Current therapies for the respiratory failure include mechanical ventilation and bed-side extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) devices which closely simulate the physiological gas exchange of the natural lung.

BackgroundAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by an acute, diffuse, inflammatory lung injury, leading to increased alveolar capillary permeability, increased lung weight, and loss of aerated lung tissue (Fan, Brodie, & Slutsky, 2018). Primary treatment for ARDS is artificial mechanical ventilation (AMV) (Wu, Huang, Wu, Wang, & Lin, 2016). Given recent advances in technology, the use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) to treat severe ARDS is growing rapidly (Combes et al., 2014).ObjectiveThis 49-month quantitative, retrospective inpatient EMR chart review compared if cannulation with VV-ECMO up to and including 48 hours of admission and diagnosis in adult patients 30 to 65 years of age diagnosed with ARDS, decreased duration on AMV, as compared to participants who were cannulated after 48 hours of admission and diagnosis with ARDS.MethodsA total of 110 participants were identified as receiving VV-ECMO during the study timeframe. Of the 58 participants who met all inclusion criteria, 39 participants were cannulated for VV-ECMO within 48 hours of admission and diagnosis with ARDS, and 19 participants were cannulated with VV-ECMO after 48 hours of admission and diagnosis with ARDS.ResultsData collected identified no statistically significant (p < 0.579) difference in length of days on AMV between participant groups.ConclusionsFurther studies are needed to determine if earlier initiation of VV-ECMO in adult patients with ARDS decrease time on AMV.Implications for NursingAlthough the results related to length of time on AMV did not produce statistical significance, the decreased duration of AMV in the participants who were cannulated within 48 hours (21 days vs. 27 days) may support several benefits associated with this participant population including increased knowledge of healthcare providers, decreased lung injury, earlier discharge which decreases hospital and patient cost, ability for patients to communicate sooner, decreased risk of pulmonary infection, decreased length of stay, decreased cost, and improved patient and family satisfaction.
