Article Synopsis
- VA-ECMO is used to assist patients in cardiogenic shock, but excessive fluid intake can lead to harmful overload.
- A study of 101 patients from 2013-2016 found a 47.5% mortality rate, with non-survivors showing significantly higher fluid-balance on days one and two.
- Early positive fluid-balance correlates with increased mortality risk, highlighting a critical threshold of 38.8 mL/kg as a predictor for adverse outcomes.
