Article Synopsis
- Patients on veno-arterial ECMO are at a high risk for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), which can lead to significant complications and healthcare resource use.
- In a study involving 150 V-A ECMO patients from 2013 to 2017, UGIB was found in 10.7% of cases, typically occurring about 10 days after the start of ECMO.
- A history of peptic ulcers was identified as the only independent risk factor for UGIB, highlighting the need for further investigation into preventive measures and treatments in this patient population.
