Comparation of the outcomes between ProGlide based post-closure technique and arteriotomy repair for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation
Authors' conclusion
Our study showed the post-closure technique based on ProGlide for VA-ECMO decannulation is feasible, safe and effective.
Study context
- Population
- Patients successfully weaned from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), Changhai Hospital, January 2018 to December 2021
- Participants
- 58 participants
- Exposure
- Post-closure vs Surgical repair
- Post-closuren = 26
- Surgical repairn = 32reference
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Post-closure: shorter procedure time, less minor bleeding events, estimated blood loss and packed cells transfused vs surgical repair
- Post-closure: shorter intensive care unit (ICU) LOS after decannulation and hospital LOS after ICU vs surgical repair
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Death from multiple system organ failure after decannulation
- Deaths in the cohort
- 9 (15.52%)
- No significant differences between the two groups
