Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation for the post-cardiotomy patient

Abstract: Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation remains the last resort in keeping patients alive in those with profound cardiogenic shock following percutaneous interventions or open surgery on the heart. No guidelines exist on the management of patients on such a device despite a high mortality. We attempt to highlight some universal principles that would be relevant to the current practice of those exposed to this challenging field.

“…However, IABP does not replace the cardiopulmonary function and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is the only salvage therapy for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure. 1,[3][4][5][6] The aim of this study is to pool the available data from current studies on the outcome after VA-ECMO after adult cardiac surgery.…”

“…VA-ECLS is classically used in post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock, which occurs in 0.2–6% of cardiac operations [ 21 ]. In addition to its use in strictly cardiological and cardio-surgical indications, VA-ECLS has been successfully applied in patients with acute pulmonary embolism [ 22 ].…”

“…Early application of ECLS/VA-ECMO was recommended to prevent imminent multi-organ failure since it maximizes cardiac recovery potential [46]. The ECLS VA-ECMO is also used in postcardiotomy CS occurring in the range 0.2-6% after cardiac operation [56].…”
