Factors associated with intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Intraoperative Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being applied as life-support for lung transplantation patients. However, factors associated with this procedure in lung transplantation patients have not yet been characterized. The aim of this study was to identify preoperative factors of intraoperative ECMO support during lung transplantation and to evaluated the outcome of lung transplantation patients supported with ECMO. METHODS:Patients underwent lung transplantation treated with and without ECMO in Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases between January 2015 to August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and clinical variables were collected and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors independently associated with intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during lung transplantation. RESULTS:During the study period, 138 patients underwent lung transplantation at our institution, the mean LAS was (56.63?±?18.39) (range, 32.79 to 88.70). Fourty four patients were treated with veno-venous/veno-arterial ECMO. Among the patients, 32 patients wean successfully ECMO after operation, 12 patients remain ECMO after operation, and 32 patients (62.74%) survived to hospital discharge. In multiple analysis, the following factors were associated with intraoperative ECMO support: advanced age, high PAP before operation, duration of mechanical ventilation before operation, a higher APACHE II and primary diagnosis for transplantation. The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 12?months were 90.91, 72.73, and 56.81% in the ECMO group, and 95.40, 82.76, and 73.56% in the non-ECMO group, respectively (log-rank P?=?0.081). Patients who underwent single lung transplant had a lower survival rates in ECMO group as compared with non-ECMO group at 1, 3, and 12?months (90.47% vs 98.25, 71.43% vs 84.21, and 52.38% vs 75.44%) (log-rank P =?0.048). CONCLUSIONS:The preoperative factors of intraoperative ECMO support during lung transplantation included age, high PAP before operation, preoperative mechanical ventilation, a higher APACHE II and primary diagnosis for transplantation based on multivariate analysis.

Project description:The introduction of the lung allocation score in 2005 prioritized patients with decreased transplant-free survival as the recipients of donor organs and effectively increased the number of critically-ill patients with end-stage lung disease waiting for transplantation. This change presented transplant programs with the challenge of how to both extend the lives of critically-ill, end-stage lung disease patients waiting for donor organs and maintain patient vitality to survival through the rigors of surgery and post-transplant recovery. Motivated by the dismal outcomes of patients maintained on mechanical ventilation pre-transplant, transplant centers increasingly deploy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a means of supporting patients with advanced disease as a bridge to successful lung transplantation. ECMO is an extracorporeal gas exchange device providing delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide from blood passed through the circuit. The specific cannulation strategy determines whether ECMO provides primarily respiratory or circulatory support. The cannulation approach is tailored to the specific physiological manifestations of the pre-lung transplant candidate's disease process. For patients with profound hypoxic respiratory failure, a cannulation strategy that captures a large fraction of the venous return is required to maintain adequate support whereas lower circuit flows are sufficient for patients with predominantly hypercapnic respiratory failure. Improving outcomes and increasing experience with ECMO is motivating transplant centers to initiate support before patients require mechanical ventilation. Awake cannulation is increasingly common and is used to avoid the complications associated with intubation in advanced lung failure. Determining criteria for initiation of support and identifying the optimal approach to support patients with right heart failure in need of circulatory support are avenues of active investigation. Use of ECMO and other forms of extracorporeal support are rapidly becoming a mainstay in the care of the pre-lung transplant patient with advanced disease.

Project description:Background: Numerous successful therapies developed for human medicine involve animal experimentation. Animal studies that are focused solely on translational potential, may not sufficiently document unexpected outcomes. Considerable amounts of data from such studies could be used to advance veterinary science. For example, sheep are increasingly being used as models of intensive care and therefore, data arising from such models must be published. In this study, the hypothesis is that there is little information describing cardiorespiratory physiological data from sheep models of intensive care and the author aimed to analyse such data to provide biological information that is currently not available for sheep that received extracorporeal life support (ECLS) following acute smoke-induced lung injury. Methods: Nineteen mechanically ventilated adult ewes undergoing intensive care during evaluation of a form of ECLS (treatment) for acute lung injury were used to collate clinical observations. Eight sheep were injured by acute smoke inhalation prior to treatment (injured/treated), while another eight were not injured but treated (uninjured/treated). Two sheep were injured but not treated (injured/untreated), while one received room air instead of smoke as the injury and was not treated (placebo/untreated). The data were then analysed for 11 physiological categories and compared between the two treated groups. Results: Compared with the baseline, treatment contributed to and exacerbated the deterioration of pulmonary pathology by reducing lung compliance and the arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO 2/FiO 2) ratio. The oxygen extraction index changes mirrored those of the PaO 2/FiO 2 ratio. Decreasing coronary perfusion pressure predicted the severity of cardiopulmonary injury. Conclusions: These novel observations could help in understanding similar pathology such as that which occurs in animal victims of smoke inhalation from house or bush fires, aspiration pneumonia secondary to tick paralysis and in the management of the severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in humans.
