Does a distal perfusion cannula reduce ischaemic complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation?

Abstract: Ischaemic complications of ECMO are common and occur despite the presence of a distal limb-perfusing cannula; however in our study the distal limb cannula was a limb-salvaging intervention in six patients. Prolonged time on ECMO is a risk factor for DVT, and a high index of suspicion must be maintained. Percutaneous insertion was associated with higher rates of bleeding and DVT.

“…Patient numbers ranged from single‐patient case reports to 143 patients in one retrospective cohort study. Femoral arterial cannula size ranged from 12 to 24 Fr, while other studies described the choice as being based on patients' body surface area.…”

“…If arterial pressure 2–3 cm distal to the cannulation site, as measured with a 23G needle, was below 50 mm Hg, a DPC was placed. The other studies did not specify their selection criterion for DPC placement.…”

“…This incidence was obviously higher than that reported in the literature with a rate of arterial complications of 10-20% (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). The physiopathology of ipsilateral limb ischemia in patients supported with ECLS through a femoral cannulation is multifactorial and various predictors were identified over time such as younger age, pre-existing peripheral arterial disease and the absence of a distal perfusion catheter (27,28,30).…”

“…Some authors do not use it systematically but only expectantly, as they did not find a statistically significant difference with respect to mortality or limb ischemia in comparing a systematic and an expectant approach (27,31). Others implant the distal reperfusion only if the mean pressure in the superficial femoral artery 2 to 3 cm distal to the cannulation site is below 50 mmHg after ECLS initiation (33).…”
