Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Left ventricular energetics in patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Authors' conclusion
High VA-ECMO flow significantly reduced LVEDP, LVEDV, and LVSW compared to low VA-ECMO flow.
Study context
- Population
- Patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) who achieved return of spontaneous circulationevery patient studied at both flows
- Participants
- 15 patients
- Comparison
- High vs low VA-ECMO flow
- Outcome
- LVEDV
- Follow-up
- 3.0 (2.0, 4.0) days after cannulation
Methodological detailspaired comparisons, invasive left heart catheterization and 3D echocardiography
- Paired comparisons
- Invasive left heart catheterization and 3D echocardiography
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
P = 0.005
Further findings
| Outcome | P value |
|---|---|
| LVEDP, highest vs lowest VA-ECMO flow (paired)LVEDP increased at low flow | P = 0.001 |
| LVSW, highest vs lowest VA-ECMO flow (paired)LVSW increased at low flow | P = 0.01 |
- Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), highest vs lowest VA-ECMO flow (paired): Highest flow median 4.0 L/min; lowest flow median 2.0 L/min
