Oxygenation management during veno-arterial ECMO support for cardiogenic shock: a multicentric retrospective cohort study.

Backgound: Hyperoxemia 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 (FO), postoxygenator oxygen partial pressure (PO), inspired oxygen fraction (FO), and right radial arterial oxygen partial pressure (PO) between day 1 and day 7 of peripheral VA ECMO support.
