“…Categories delineating race or ethnicity varied markedly. Overall, 54 studies (58%) found no statistical association between race and/or ethnicity and outcome (37–76), while 36 (39%) observed adverse outcomes in populations from underrepresented/diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds (Black/African American, Asian, Hispanic, or “other”/“non-Caucasian”/“non-White”). Of citations identifying adverse outcomes, 8 (22%) used univariate (77–84) and 28 (78%) used multivariate analyses.…”

Objectives: To map the scope, methodological rigor, quality, and direction of associations between social determinants of health (SDoH) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) utilization or outcomes. Data Sources: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for citations from January 2000 to January 2023, examining socioeconomic status (SES), race, ethnicity, hospital and ECMO program characteristics, transport, and geographic location (context) with utilization and outcomes (concept) in ECMO patients (population). Study Selection: Methodology followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses scoping review extension. Two reviewers independently evaluated abstracts and full text of identified publications. Exclusion criteria included non-English, unavailable, less than 40 patients, and periprocedural or mixed mechanical support. Data Extraction: Content analysis used a standardized data extraction tool and inductive thematic analysis for author-proposed mediators of disparities. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. Data Synthesis: Of 8,214 citations screened, 219 studies were identified. Primary analysis focuses on 148 (68%) including race/ethnicity/SES/payer variables including investigation of ECMO outcomes 114 (77%) and utilization 43 (29%). SDoH were the primary predictor in 15 (10%). Overall quality and methodologic rigor was poor with advanced statistics in 7%. Direction of associations between ECMO outcomes or utilization according to race, ethnicity, SES, or payer varied. In 38% adverse outcomes or lower use was reported in underrepresented, under-resourced or diverse populations, while improved outcomes or greater use were observed in these populations in 7%, and 55% had no statistically significant result. Only 26 studies (18%) discussed mechanistic drivers of disparities, primarily focusing on individual- and hospital-level rather than systemic/structural factors. Conclusions: Associations between ECMO utilization and outcomes with SDoH are inconsistent, complicated by population heterogeneity and analytic shortcomings with limited consideration of systemic contributors. Findings and research gaps have implications for measuring, analyzing, and interpreting SDoH in ECMO research and healthcare.

“…5 However, despite these significant advances, some have raised concern that complications during cannulation, such as cardiac injury [6][7][8][9][10][11] and the need to reposition the cannula after placement 1,12 are increased with BCDL VV-ECMO cannulas. 11 The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry reports that there is a 15% incidence of cannula complications in pediatric respiratory ECMO cases, and the survival rate decreases from 64% to 51% when these are present, 13,14 clearly illustrating the impact these issues have on delivery of quality ECMO.…”

Use of Image Guidance During Pediatric Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation: A Survey of the American Pediatric Surgical Association

et al. 2023

This study evaluated practices for image guidance during placement of bicaval dual-lumen (BCDL) venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) cannulas in pediatric and adolescent patients and elucidates reasoning behind surgeon practices. A survey covering VV-ECMO practice and opinions was distributed by the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) to all attending members. A total of 110 pediatric surgeons responded (11.3%). During initial BCDL cannula placement, 67.7% of surgeons reported using bimodal imaging with either fluoroscopy (38.4%) or x-ray (29.3%) plus echocardiography. Although 37.4% of surgeons used serial x-rays during cannula placement, only 5.9% believed it was best practice to do so (P < 0.0001). Rather, 60.4% believed that fluoroscopy was the standard. Among surgeons not using fluoroscopy, 27.6% (13.3% of respondents) reported fluoroscopy added unnecessary complexity or that they preferred another modality. More frequently, reasons for not using fluoroscopy are related to resource limitations. Echocardiography use to confirm cannula position was considered best practice by 92.1% of surgeons, with 86.9% utilization. Therefore, most pediatric surgeons use multimodal imaging during cannulation and consider it best practice. Fluoroscopy is preferred, but its use is frequently limited by hospital resources. Echocardiography is widely available and used. These data represent increased consensus among surgeons and present opportunities for modernization of hospital resources and standards.
