VV-ECMO
<b>ELSO Guidelines</b>
<b>V-V</b> Indications
Respiratory support-consider if mortality >50% and
recommended if mortality >80%
ARDS/hypoxemic respiratory failure
PaO2 to FiO2 ratio less than 80, despite salvage therapies
for 6+ hrs
Uncompensated hypercapnia (ph<7.15 despite measures)
Hypercapneic respiratory failure (severe COPD/asthma
exacerbation)
Lung transplant candidates
Severe air leak patients

CESAR study inclusion criteria (Lancet 2009; 374:
1351–63).
Indications:
age ≥16 years
potentially reversible severe acute respiratory failure
no limitation to on-going life-sustaining treatment
Murray score ≥3.0 (consider referral if ≥2.5 and rapid
clinical deterioration) OR

<b>V-V</b> Contraindications
No absolute contraindications but the following are
associated with a poor outcome
Mechanical ventilation with high support (Fio2>90%
and/or P-plat >30 for 7 days)
CNS hemorrhage
Pharmacologic immunosuppression (ANC<400)
Non-recoverable comorbidity

(Ventilator)
FiO2 < 40% and peak pressure <25
Can use either volume control (2-4cc/kg/IBW) or
pressure control ventilation to achieve goal

<b>Study Overview</b>
• This trial compared extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with
non-ECMO ventilator care in patients with severe ARDS.
• There was no significant between-group difference in 60-day mortality.
• Interpretation was made difficult by crossovers from control to ECMO

So What Are Our REAL
Goals?
Support patient!!!
Limit ventilator induced lung injury (remember all
positive pressure is somewhat harmful)
Mobilize patient to limit impact of critical illness
and hopefully decrease extent of post critical
illness syndrome
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(23)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=23>
Do You Even Need the Vent?
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is invasive
MV delivers positive pressure which may
compromise the right heart
MV frequently requires some form of sedation
which can be harmful
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(24)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=24>
Consider Extubation?
