Aims: This study aimed to investigate incidence and predictors of weaning failure and in-hospital death after successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods And Results: Overall, 685 patients with CS treated with VA-ECMO from 23 tertiary care centres in 7 countries were analysed (median age 57 [interquartile range 49-66] years, 542 [79.1%] male, median lactate 7.
Aims: The optimal timing for implementing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains indeterminate. This study aims to evaluate patient characteristics and outcome associated with the time interval between CS onset and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) implementation.
Methods And Results: In this study, patients with CS treated with MCS at 15 tertiary care centres in three countries were enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- VA-ECMO therapy helps patients with cardiogenic shock by restoring circulation but can lead to various complications affecting survival and neurological outcomes.
- A study analyzed data from 501 patients across 16 centers, revealing that over half experienced complications, especially women, with 40% mortality within 30 days.
- The findings indicate a need for better identification of patients at risk for complications to improve treatment strategies, as most adverse events correlate with worse prognosis.
