Introduction |
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in trauma patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) continues to evolve. The objective of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of trauma patients with ARDS who received ECMO to a propensity matched cohort of patients who underwent conventional management.
Methods |
The Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database was queried from 2013 to 2016 for all patients with ARDS and those who received ECMO. Demographics, as well as clinical, injury, intervention, and outcome data were collected and analyzed. Patients with ARDS were divided into two groups, those who received ECMO and those who did not. A propensity score analysis was performed using the following criteria: age, gender, vital signs (HR, SBP) and GCS on admission, Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score in several body regions. Outcomes between the groups were subsequently compared using univariate as well as Cox regression analyses.
Secondary outcomes such as hospitalization (HLOS), ICU length-of-stay (LOS) and ventilation days stratified for patient demographics, timing of ECMO and anticoagulation status were compared.
Results |
Over the 3-year study period, 8990 patients with ARDS were identified from the TQIP registry. Following exclusion, 3680 were included in the final analysis, of which 97 (2.6%) received ECMO. On univariate analysis following matching, patients who underwent ECMO had lower overall hospital mortality (23 vs 50%, p < 0.001) with higher rates of complications (p < 0.005), including longer HLOS. In those undergoing ECMO, early initiation (<7 days) was associated with shorter HLOS, ICU LOS, and fewer ventilator days. No difference was observed between the two groups with regard to anticoagulation.
Conclusion |
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use in trauma patients with ARDS may be associated with improved survival, especially for young patients with thoracic injuries, early in the course of ARDS. Anticoagulation while on circuit was not associated with increased risk of hemorrhage or mortality, even in the setting of head injuries. The mortality benefit suggested with ECMO comes at the expense of a potential increase in complication rate and prolonged hospitalization.
