extracorporeal life support in multiple trauma patients with refractory cardiopulmonary failure: predictors of procedural suitability and success rate

چکیده
results ecls was initiated at a mean of 324.15 ± 197.8 (110 - 950) min from initial trauma. in 4 patients, ecls treatment failed due to an incapability to maintain adequate ecls flow and patient perfusion. in the other 16 patients efficiently supported by ecls, the cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, lactate concentration, pao2, paco2, and ph showed significant improvement with normal values reached at 3.2 ± 1.5 hours. seven (43.7%) patients in the ecls-success group donated organs, 2 patients (22.2%) died due to septic multi organ failure (mof), and 7 (77.7%) patients were discharged from the hospital. ecls was suitable and successful in patients with a significantly lower injury severity score, lower blood lactate level, lower number of blood units given, and significantly higher ph and hb. background major trauma is a leading cause of death, particularly amongst young patients. new strategies in management are needed to improve the poor outcome of severe trauma. we report our initial experience with extracorporeal life support (ecls) as a rescue therapy in severe multiple trauma patients with refractory cardiopulmonary failure. objectives the purpose of this study was to identify the pre-ecls patient characteristics predicting appropriateness ecls treatment. methods from december 2008 to may 2013, 420 multiple trauma patients were treated at our tertiary level referral trauma center. our ecls team was alerted on 35 and applied ecls in 20 adult trauma patients. in 16 patients with cardiopulmonary failure with refractory shock, we adopted a veno-arterial ecls; in 4 patients with isolated refractory acute respiratory failure, we used veno-venous ecls. conclusions from our data, ecls seems to be a valuable option to resuscitate severe trauma patients when conventional therapies are insufficient: it is safe, feasible and effective in providing hemodynamic support and blood gas exchange. our data permitted us to identify strong predictors of ecls non-suitability and success in multiple trauma patients; these might be helpful in deciding whether ecls should be used or not. future improvements in materials and techniques are expected to make ecls even easier and safer to manage, leading to a further extension of its use in disastrously injured patients.

متن کاملClearance of refractory bile duct stones with Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy: higher failure rate in obese patients.
OBJECTIVE Bile duct stones that cannot be removed endoscopically are still a challenge in interventional gastroenterology. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) with subsequent endoscopic extraction of residual fragments is an established treatment option if other endoscopic means are not successful. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of ESWL for clearance of refractor...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in post-traumatic cardiopulmonary failure
Patients with multiple traumas associated with cardiopulmonary failure have a high mortality rate; however, such patients can be temporarily stabilized using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), providing a bridge to rescue therapy. Using a retrospective study design, we aimed to clarify the prognostic factors of post-traumatic ECMO support.From March 2006 to July 2016, 43 adult patients...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Life Support for Pediatric Heart Failure
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) represents an essential component in the treatment of the pediatric patient with refractory heart failure. Defined as the use of an extracorporeal system to provide cardiopulmonary support, ECLS provides hemodynamic support to facilitate end-organ recovery and can be used as a salvage therapy during acute cardiorespiratory failure. Support strategies employed ...

BACKGROUND Using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to provide advanced life support in adult trauma patients remains a controversial issue now. The study was aimed at identifying the independent predictors of hospital mortality in adult trauma patients receiving ECMO for advanced cardiopulmonary dysfunctions. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 36 adult trauma patients receivin...
