Purpose Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported to be one of the most common complications in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), yet variations in AKI between different types of ECMO remain unclear. This meta-analysis systematically compares AKI/severe AKI in adult patients requiring different types of ECMO. Methods Two authors independently performed a literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase, encompassing publications up until April 20, 2020 (inclusive). The number of AKI patients, including patients who required/did not require renal replacement therapy (RRT), and deceased patients with AKI/severe AKI, who received different types of ECMO were collated and analyzed using STATA. Results The results indicated that there were no significant differences in the risk of AKI/severe AKI among different types of ECMO. However, the presence of AKI and severe AKI during veno-arterial (VA) ECMO was more strongly associated with mortality. Conclusions Although mortality rates related to AKI/severe AKI during VV ECMO are high, the occurrence of AKI/severe AKI during VA ECMO should be given greater attention, as these instances are considered strong indicators of patient deterioration and even death. Additional studies are needed to corroborate these findings.

AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported as one of the most common complications in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), yet the risk of AKI on different types of ECMO remains unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to compare risk of AKI among adult patients requiring different types of ECMO. Two authors independently performed a literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase, encompassing publications up until Arpril 20, 2020 (inclusive). The number of AKI patients, non-AKI patients, patients required RRT and patients not required RRT receiving different types of ECMO were derived and analyzed by STATA. The results indicated there was no significant difference in risk of AKI (OR, 1.54; 95% CI: 0.75-3.16; P= 0.235) and severe AKI required RRT (OR, 1.0; 95% CI: 0.66-1.5, P= 0.994) in patients receiving different types of ECMO. In Conclusion, no difference in risk of AKI and severe AKI required RRT between patients receiving VA ECMO and VV ECMO. More studies are required to support the findings.

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: Although acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the incidence and impact of AKI on mortality among patients on ECMO remain unclear. We conducted this systematic review to summarize the incidence and impact of AKI on mortality risk among adult patients on ECMO. Methods: A literature search was performed using EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Databases from inception until March 2019 to identify studies assessing the incidence of AKI (using a standard AKI definition), severe AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT), and the impact of AKI among adult patients on ECMO. Effect estimates from the individual studies were obtained and combined utilizing random-effects, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian-Laird. The protocol for this systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (no. CRD42018103527). Results: 41 cohort studies with a total of 10,282 adult patients receiving ECMO were enrolled. Overall, the pooled estimated incidence of AKI and severe AKI requiring RRT were 62.8% (95%CI: 52.1%–72.4%) and 44.9% (95%CI: 40.8%–49.0%), respectively. Meta-regression showed that the year of study did not significantly affect the incidence of AKI (p = 0.67) or AKI requiring RRT (p = 0.83). The pooled odds ratio (OR) of hospital mortality among patients receiving ECMO with AKI on RRT was 3.73 (95% CI, 2.87–4.85). When the analysis was limited to studies with confounder-adjusted analysis, increased hospital mortality remained significant among patients receiving ECMO with AKI requiring RRT with pooled OR of 3.32 (95% CI, 2.21–4.99). There was no publication bias as evaluated by the funnel plot and Egger’s regression asymmetry test with p = 0.62 and p = 0.17 for the incidence of AKI and severe AKI requiring RRT, respectively. Conclusion: Among patients receiving ECMO, the incidence rates of AKI and severe AKI requiring RRT are high, which has not changed over time. Patients who develop AKI requiring RRT while on ECMO carry 3.7-fold higher hospital mortality.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine producing adrenal tumor. Pheochromocytoma crisis is a life-threatening condition inducing multiple organ failure and hemodynamic instability caused by too much catecholamines produced from pheochromocytoma. We report a 59-year-old woman with pheochromocytoma crisis rescued by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and interval tumor resection. In June 2020, the patient was taken to our institution complaining of headache and left lower back pain. The patient developed cardiopulmonary arrest while at the emergency department. After extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the patient required VA-ECMO for hemodynamic support, and subsequently CRRT for catecholamine removal and acute kidney injury. After 1 month of hemodynamic management, the patient underwent left adrenalectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on postoperative day 23. CRRT would be a safe and feasible option for catecholamine control in patients with acute kidney injury in pheochromocytoma crisis.

AbstractBackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported as one of the most common complication in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the risk factors of AKI on ECMO is unknown. This meta-analysis aimed to find out the risk factors of AKI among adult patients receiving ECMO.MethodsA literature search was performed using PubMed,Web of Science, and Embase fulfilled the pre-specified criteria until April 2020 to include studies reported the necessary clinic characteristics, then the gender, cancer, diffuse intravascular coagulation (DIC), massive/severe Bleeding, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), post-cardiotomy, diabetes mellitus, liver cirrhosis and ECMO support duration were pooled for further analysis by STATA to get conclusion.ResultsThis research is first time to provide the evidence that patients developed AKI/severe AKI with a longer ECMO support duration (pooled WMD, 4.09 days; 95% CI: 2.45-5.73 days, Z= 4.89, P= 0.000, I2= 73.4%, χ2P= 0.023/pooled WMD, 1.52 days; 95% CI: 0.19-2.85 days, Z= 2.25, P= 0.025, I2= 77.4%, χ2P= 0.001) and the risk of severe AKI requiring RRT was higher (pooled OR, 2.22; 95% CI: 1.24-3.99, Z= 2.68, P= 0.007, I2= 0.0%, χ2P= 0.634) in liver cirrhosis patients by systemic analysis, indicated ECMO support duration and liver cirrhosis may act as risk factors of AKI in adult patients received ECMO.

Abstract Background Systemic rheumatic diseases (SRDs) are a group of inflammatory disorders that can require intensive care unit (ICU) admission because of multiorgan involvement with end-organ failure(s). Critically ill SRD patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) were studied to gain insight into their characteristics and outcomes. Methods This French monocenter, retrospective study included all SRD patients requiring venovenous (VV)- or venoarterial (VA)-ECMO admitted to a 26-bed ECMO-dedicated ICU from January 2006 to February 2020. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Results Ninety patients (male/female ratio: 0.5; mean age at admission: 41.6 ± 15.2 years) admitted to the ICU received VA/VV-ECMO, respectively, for an SRD-related flare (n = 69, n = 38/31) or infection (n = 21, n = 10/11). SRD was diagnosed in-ICU for 31 (34.4%) patients. In-ICU and in-hospital mortality rates were 48.9 and 51.1%, respectively. Nine patients were bridged to cardiac (n = 5) or lung transplantation (n = 4), or left ventricular assist device (n = 2). The Cox multivariable model retained the following independent predictors of in-hospital mortality: in-ICU SRD diagnosis, day-0 Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II score ≥ 70 and arterial lactate ≥ 7.5 mmol/L for VA-ECMO–treated patients; diagnosis other than vasculitis, day-0 SAPS II score ≥ 70, ventilator-associated pneumonia and arterial lactate ≥ 7.5 mmol/L for VV-ECMO–treated patients. Conclusions ECMO support is a relevant rescue technique for critically ill SRD patients, with 49% survival at hospital discharge. Vasculitis was independently associated with favorable outcomes of VV-ECMO–treated patients. Further studies are needed to specify the role of ECMO for SRD patients.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be delivered in veno-arterial (VA) and veno-venous (VV) configurations based on the cannulation strategy. VA and VV ECMO are delivered primarily for haemodynamic and respiratory support in patients with severe heart and lung failure, respectively. The Fick principle describes the relationship between blood flow and oxygen consumption – key parameters in the physiological management of extracorporeal support. This review will discuss the application of the Fick principle in: (i) recirculation in VV ECMO; (ii) the quantification of oxygen delivery (DO2) in VV ECMO and (iii) the quantification of transpulmonary blood flow and systemic arterial oxygen saturation in VA ECMO.

IntroductionVenoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been widely used for patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. A common side effect of this technic is the resultant increase in left ventricular (LV) afterload which could potentially aggravate myocardial ischaemia, delay ventricular recovery and increase the risk of pulmonary congestion. Several LV unloading strategies have been proposed and implemented to mitigate these complications. However, it is still indistinct that which one is the best choice for clinical application. This Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to compare the efficacy of different LV unloading strategies during VA-ECMO.Methods and analysisPubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform will be explored from their inception to 31 December 2020. Random controlled trials and cohort studies that compared different LV unloading strategies during VA-ECMO will be included in this study. The primary outcome will be in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes will include neurological complications, haemolysis, bleeding, limb ischaemia, renal failure, gastrointestinal complications, sepsis, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit and hospital stays. Pairwise and NMA will respectively be conducted using Stata (V.16, StataCorp) and Aggregate Data Drug Information System (V.1.16.5), and the cumulative probability will be used to rank the included LV unloading strategies. The risk of bias will be conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool or Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale according to their study design. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias assessment will be performed. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation will be conducted to explore the quality of evidence.Ethics and disseminationEither ethics approval or patient consent is not necessary, because this study will be based on literature. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020165093.

Conventional treatment of respiratory failure involves positive pressure ventilation that can worsen lung damage. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is typically used when conventional therapy fails. In this study, we evaluated the use of venovenous (VV)-ECMO for the treatment of severe pediatric respiratory failure at our institution. A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients (age 1–18) placed on ECMO in the last 15 years (1999–2014) by the pediatric surgery team for respiratory failure was performed. Five pediatric patients underwent ECMO (mean age 10 years; range, 2–16). All underwent VV-ECMO. Diagnoses were status asthmaticus (2), acute respiratory distress syndrome due to septic shock (1), aspergillus pneumonia (1), and respiratory failure due to parainfluenza (1). Two patients had severe barotrauma prior to ECMO initiation. Average oxygenation index (OI) prior to cannulation was 74 (range 23–122). No patients required conversion to VA-ECMO. The average ECMO run time was 4.4 days (range 2–6). The average number of days on the ventilator was 15 (range 4–27). There were no major complications due to the procedure. Survival to discharge was 100%. Average follow up is 4.4 years (range 1–15). A short run of VV-ECMO can be lifesaving for pediatric patients in respiratory failure. Survival is excellent despite severely elevated oxygen indices. VV-ECMO may be well tolerated and can be considered for severe pediatric respiratory failure.
