ECMO use and mortality in adult patients with cardiogenic shock: a retrospective observational study in U.S. hospitals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in resuscitation of critically ill patients with documented improved survival. Few studies describe ECMO use in cardiogenic shock. This study examines ECMO use and identifies variables associated with mortality in patients treated for cardiogenic shock in US hospitals.

Methods

A retrospective observational study of the US Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) database of 2013 was conducted. Weighted visits for cardiogenic shock (discharge diagnosis) with ECMO use were included. Collected data was analyzed and variables associated with mortality were identified.

Results

A total of 922 weighted patients with cardiogenic shock and ECMO were included. Mean age was 50.8 years. They were more commonly males (66.3%; n?=?658). Slightly over half (51.0%, n?=?506) survived to hospital discharge. Mean charges per patient were $589,610.5. Mean length of stay was 21.8 days. Increased mortality was associated with presence of respiratory diseases (OR?=?3.83), genitourinary diseases (OR?=?4.97), undergoing an echocardiogram (OR?=?4.63), and presenting during seasons other than Fall. Lower mortality was noted in patients with injury and poisoning (OR?=?0.47), in those who underwent certain vascular procedures (OR?=?0.49) and those with increasing length of stay (OR?=?0.90).

Conclusion

Mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock remains high despite ECMO use. Season of admission (other than Fall) and presence of specific comorbidities (Respiratory and genitourinary diseases) are associated with increased mortality in this population. Familiarity with these variables can help identify patients at higher risk of death and can help improve outcomes further in cardiogenic shock.

Project description:BackgoundHyperoxemia is common and associated with poor outcome during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) support for cardiogenic shock. However, little is known about practical daily management of oxygenation. Then, we aim to describe sweep gas oxygen fraction (FSO2), postoxygenator oxygen partial pressure (PPOSTO2), inspired oxygen fraction (FIO2), and right radial arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) between day 1 and day 7 of peripheral VA ECMO support. We also aim to evaluate the association between oxygenation parameters and outcome. In this retrospective multicentric study, each participating center had to report data on the last 10 eligible patients for whom the ICU stay was terminated. Patients with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation were excluded. Primary endpoint was individual mean FSO2 during the seven first days of ECMO support (FSO2 mean (day 1-7)).ResultsBetween August 2019 and March 2022, 139 patients were enrolled in 14 ECMO centers in France, and one in Switzerland. Among them, the median value for FSO2 mean (day 1-7) was 70 [57; 79] % but varied according to center case volume. Compared to high volume centers, centers with less than 30 VA-ECMO runs per year were more likely to maintain FSO2 ≥ 70% (OR 5.04, CI 95% [1.39; 20.4], p = 0.017). Median value for right radial PaO2 mean (day 1-7) was 114 [92; 145] mmHg, and decreased from 125 [86; 207] mmHg at day 1, to 97 [81; 133] mmHg at day 3 (p < 0.01). Severe hyperoxemia (i.e. right radial PaO2 ≥ 300 mmHg) occurred in 16 patients (12%). PPOSTO2, a surrogate of the lower body oxygenation, was measured in only 39 patients (28%) among four centers. The median value of PPOSTO2 mean (day 1-7) value was 198 [169; 231] mmHg. By multivariate analysis, age (OR 1.07, CI95% [1.03-1.11], p < 0.001), FSO2 mean (day 1-3)(OR 1.03 [1.00-1.06], p = 0.039), and right radial PaO2 mean (day 1-3) (OR 1.03, CI95% [1.00-1.02], p = 0.023) were associated with in-ICU mortality.ConclusionIn a multicentric cohort of cardiogenic shock supported by VA ECMO, the median value for FSO2 mean (day 1-7) was 70 [57; 79] %. PPOSTO2 monitoring was infrequent and revealed significant hyperoxemia. Higher FSO2 mean (day 1-3) and right radial PaO2 mean (day 1-3) were independently associated with in-ICU mortality.

Project description:BackgroundThe mortality rate for a patient with a refractory cardiogenic shock on venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains high, and hyperoxia might worsen this prognosis. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between hyperoxia and 28-day mortality in this setting.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective bicenter study in two French academic centers. The study population comprised adult patients admitted for refractory cardiogenic shock. The following arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) variables were recorded for 48 h following admission: the absolute peak PaO2 (the single highest value measured during the 48 h), the mean daily peak PaO2 (the mean of each day's peak values), the overall mean PaO2 (the mean of all values over 48 h), and the severity of hyperoxia (mild: PaO2 < 200 mmHg, moderate: PaO2 = 200-299 mmHg, severe: PaO2 ≥ 300 mmHg). The main outcome was the 28-day all-cause mortality. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) derived from propensity scores was used to reduce imbalances in baseline characteristics.ResultsFrom January 2013 to January 2020, 430 patients were included and assessed. The 28-day mortality rate was 43%. The mean daily peak, absolute peak, and overall mean PaO2 values were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the mean daily peak PaO2, absolute peak PaO2, and overall mean PaO2 were independent predictors of 28-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval per 10 mmHg increment: 2.65 [1.79-6.07], 2.36 [1.67-4.82], and 2.85 [1.12-7.37], respectively). After IPW, high level of oxygen remained significantly associated with 28-day mortality (OR = 1.41 [1.01-2.08]; P = 0.041).ConclusionsHigh oxygen levels were associated with 28-day mortality in patients on VA-ECMO support for refractory cardiogenic shock. Our results confirm the need for large randomized controlled trials on this topic.

Project description:Background:Based on promising results over the past 10 years, the method of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has developed from being used as a 'rescue therapy' to become an accepted treatment option for patients with acute lung failure (ARDS). Subsequently, the indication was extended also to patients suffering from cardiogenic and septic shock. Our aim was to evaluate hospital mortality and associated prognostic variables in patients with lung failure, cardiogenic, and septic shock undergoing ECMO. Furthermore, a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis was used to assess the learning curve of ECMO-treatment in our department. Methods:We retrospectively analysed the data of 131 patients undergoing ECMO treatment in the intensive care unit of the Asklepios Hospital of Langen over the time period from April 2011 to July 2016. We categorised the patients into three groups: lung failure (n?=?54); cardiogenic shock (n?=?58); and septic shock (n?=?19). The primary outcome variable was hospital mortality along with identification of prognostic variables on mortality before initiating ECMO using logistic regression. Second outcome variable was the learning curve of our department in patients with ECMO. Results:6-year hospital mortality was 54% in patients with lung failure, 59% in patients with cardiogenic shock, and 58% in patients with septic shock.The CUSUM analysis revealed a typical learning curve with a point of inflection in the year 2014. Patients treated before 2014 had a worse outcome (p?=?0.04 whole cohort; p?=?0.03 for lung failure). Furthermore, less than 20 treatments per year respectively treatment before 2014 were associated negatively with hospital mortality of lung failure patients showing an odds ratio of 4.04, as well as in the entire cohort with an odds ratio of 3.19. Conclusion:For the first time, a steep ECMO-learning curve using the CUSUM tool has been described. Obviously, the experience with ECMO has to be taken into account when defining the role of ECMO in ARDS, cardiogenic, and septic shock.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The development and implementation of a Cardiogenic Shock initiative focused on increased disease awareness, early multidisciplinary team activation, rapid initiation of mechanical circulatory support, and hemodynamic-guided management and improvement of outcomes in cardiogenic shock. OBJECTIVE:The objectives of this study are (1) to collect retrospective clinical outcomes for acute decompensated heart failure cardiogenic shock and acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock, and compare current versus historical survival rates and clinical outcomes; (2) to evaluate Inova Heart and Vascular Institute site specific outcomes before and after initiation of the Cardiogenic Shock team on January 1, 2017; (3) to compare outcomes related to early implementation of mechanical circulatory support and hemodynamic-guided management versus historical controls; (4) to assess survival to discharge rate in patients receiving intervention from the designated shock team and (5) create a clinical archive of Cardiogenic Shock patient characteristics for future analysis and the support of translational research studies. METHODS:This is an observational, retrospective, single center study. Retrospective and prospective data will be collected in patients treated at the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute with documented cardiogenic shock as a result of acute decompensated heart failure or acute myocardial infarction. This registry will include data from patients prior to and after the initiation of the multidisciplinary Cardiogenic Shock team on January 1, 2017. Clinical outcomes associated with early multidisciplinary team intervention will be analyzed. In the study group, all patients evaluated for documented cardiogenic shock (acute decompensated heart failure cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock) treated at the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute by the Cardiogenic Shock team will be included. An additional historical Inova Heart and Vascular Institute control group will be analyzed as a comparator. Means with standard deviations will be reported for outcomes. For categorical variables, frequencies and percentages will be presented. For continuous variables, the number of subjects, mean, standard deviation, minimum, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile and maximum will be reported. Reported differences will include standard errors and 95% CI. RESULTS:Preliminary data analysis for the year 2017 has been completed. Compared to a baseline 2016 survival rate of 47.0%, from 2017 to 2018, CS survival rates were increased to 57.9% (58/110) and 81.3% (81/140), respectively (P=.01 for both). Study data will continue to be collected until December 31, 2018. CONCLUSIONS:The preliminary results of this study demonstrate that the INOVA SHOCK team approach to the treatment of Cardiogenic Shock with early team activation, rapid initiation of mechanical circulatory support, hemodynamic-guided management, and strict protocol adherence is associated with superior clinical outcomes: survival to discharge and overall survival when compared to 2015 and 2016 outcomes prior to Shock team initiation. What may limit the generalization of these results of this study to other populations are site specific; expertise of the team, strict algorithm adherence based on the INOVA SHOCK protocol, and staff commitment to timely team activation. Retrospective clinical outcomes (acute decompensated heart failure cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock) demonstrated an increase in current survival rates when compared to pre-Cardiogenic Shock team initiation, rapid team activation and diagnosis and timely utilization of mechanical circulatory support.

Project description:AimsNorepinephrine is recommended as a first-line vasopressor agent in the haemodynamic stabilization of cardiogenic shock. The survival benefit of norepinephrine therapy has not been demonstrated in clinical practice, however. This study aimed to explore the relationship between norepinephrine use and outcomes in cardiogenic shock patients in real-world conditions.Methods and resultsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. Cardiogenic shock patients were enrolled and categorized into a norepinephrine group or a non-norepinephrine group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to control for confounders. Cox proportional-hazards models and multivariable logistic regression were used to investigate the relationship between norepinephrine treatment and mortality. A total of 927 eligible patients were included: 552 patients in the norepinephrine group and 375 patients in the non-norepinephrine group. After PSM, 222 cases from each group were matched using a 1:1 matching algorithm. Thirty day mortality for patients treated with norepinephrine was significantly higher than for those in the non-norepinephrine group (41% vs. 30%, OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.09-2.39, P = 0.017; HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.09-2.06, P = 0.013). In the multivariable analysis, there was no significant difference between norepinephrine therapy and long-term (90 day, 180 day, or 1 year) mortality (90 day (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.82-1.74, P = 0.363), 180 day (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.80-1.70, P = 0.418), 1 year (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.79-1.66, P = 0.477). Patients in the norepinephrine group required more mechanical ventilation (84% vs. 67%, OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.70-4.25, P < 0.001) and experienced longer ICU stays (median 7 vs. 4 days, OR 7.92, 95% CI 1.40-44.83, P = 0.020) than non-norepinephrine group.ConclusionsCardiogenic shock patients treated with norepinephrine were associated with significantly increased short-term mortality, while no significant difference was found on long-term survival rates. Future trials are needed to validate and explore this association.

Project description:BackgroundVeno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly adopted for the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS). However, a marker of successful weaning remains largely unknown. Our hypothesis was that successful weaning is associated with sustained microcirculatory function during ECMO flow reduction. Therefore, we sought to test the usefulness of microcirculatory imaging in the same sublingual spot, using incident dark field (IDF) imaging in assessing successful weaning from VA-ECMO and compare IDF imaging with echocardiographic parameters.MethodsWeaning was performed by decreasing the VA-ECMO flow to 50% (F50) from the baseline. The endpoint of the study was successful VA-ECMO explantation within 48 hours after weaning. The response of sublingual microcirculation to a weaning attempt (WA) was evaluated. Microcirculation was measured in one sublingual area (single spot (ss)) using CytoCam IDF imaging during WA. Total vessel density (TVDss) and perfused vessel density (PVDss) of the sublingual area were evaluated before and during 50% flow reduction (TVDssF50, PVDssF50) after a WA and compared to conventional echocardiographic parameters as indicators of the success or failure of the WA.ResultsPatients (n = 13) aged 49 ± 18 years, who received VA-ECMO for the treatment of refractory CS due to pulmonary embolism (n = 5), post cardiotomy (n = 3), acute coronary syndrome (n = 2), myocarditis (n = 2) and drug intoxication (n = 1), were included. TVDssF50 (21.9 vs 12.9 mm/mm2, p = 0.001), PVDssF50 (19.7 vs 12.4 mm/mm2, p = 0.01) and aortic velocity-time integral (VTI) at 50% flow reduction (VTIF50) were higher in patients successfully weaned vs not successfully weaned. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.99 vs 0.93 vs 0.85 for TVDssF50 (small vessels) >12.2 mm/mm2, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >15% and aortic VTI >11 cm. Likewise, the AUC was 0.91 vs 0.93 vs 0.85 for the PVDssF50 (all vessels) >14.8 mm/mm2, LVEF >15% and aortic VTI >11 cm.ConclusionThis study identified sublingual microcirculation as a novel potential marker for identifying successful weaning from VA-ECMO. Sustained values of TVDssF50 and PVDssF50 were found to be specific and sensitive indicators of successful weaning from VA-ECMO as compared to echocardiographic parameters.
