Prognosis of refractory cardiogenic shock in de-novo versus acute-on-chronic heart failure: Insights from the HYPO-ECMO trial

J Crit CarePublished Secondary analysis of the HYPO-ECMO randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In VA-ECMO-treated CS, ACHF was associated with comparable 30-day survival but lower 180-day mortality and morbidity-mortality.

Effect of moderate hypothermia (33-34 °C) on primary outcome (DNHF subgroup) · day 30

Significant reduction in composite outcome with moderate hypothermia (MH) in DNHF but not in ACHF (p < 0.05 at each timepoint)
