OBJECTIVES
Understand the clinical indications for
ECMO therapy
Identify procedural strategies and
techniques of ECMO therapy
Discuss management strategy of
ECMO in the ICU
Brief about the ECMO experience at
Heart Hospital
PHYSIOLOGY of ECMO
Basic principle:
De-saturated blood is drained via a venous cannula, CO2 is
removed, O2 added through an “extracorporeal” device (an
oxygenator), and the blood is then returned to systemic
circulation via another vein (VV ECMO) or artery (VA ECMO)
ECMO.pptx
ECMO.pptx
TYPES OF ECMO:
 Veno-arterial bypass - supports the heart and lungs
 Veno-venous bypass – supports the lungs only
ECMO.pptx
ECMO.pptx
VV ECMO
 Perfusate blood returned to systemic circulation via
venous cannula – travels into right ventricle and next
pulmonary vasculature and is returned to the systemic
circulation
 Volume removed = volume returned; therefore no net
effect on CVP, ventricular filling, or hemodynamics
 CO2/O2 content in arterial blood supply is that of the
blood arriving to right ventricle + any effects from gas
exchange from remaining pulmonary function
VA ECMO
 Replaces/augments both pulmonary and cardiac function
 Perfusate mixes in the aorta with blood from left ventricle
(arriving from compromised lungs); thus O2/CO2 content =
content of blood returning from the circuit + that of
pulmonary source;
 Systemic blood flow = ECMO flow + pt’s own CO
Role of ECMO in Cardiogenic
Shock
Bridge to recovery (BTR)
Bridge to decision (BTD)
Bridge to surgery
Bridge to long-term VAD
Bridge to transplant (BTT)
IABP in Cardiogenic Shock
 Can initially stabilize patient
 May not provide enough support
 Requires a certain level of LV function
 Limited by persistent tachycardia /
arrhythmias
 Does not unload the RV
 Provides some pulsatile flow with ECMO
BRIDGE TO RECOVERY
 Indications
• Acute MI
• Acute decompensated HF
• Post-cardiotomy syndrome
• Acute myocarditis
• Severe rejection in transplant
• Takotsubo’s
• Massive PE
• Respiratory failure and ARDS
BRIDGE TO SURGERY
 Indications
• Mechanical complications of AMI
• VSD
• Severe MR from papillary muscle
rupture
• CAD requiring CABG
• Massive PE with heparin failure
BRIDGE TO Long-term VAD
 Indications
• Unable to wean off ECMO
• Difficult donor match for
transplant
• Not a transplant candidate =>
LVAD as Destination Therapy
BRIDGE TO TRANSPLANT
 Indications
• Unable to wean off ECMO
• Transplant candidate
• Easy donor match for
transplant
Predictors of Poor
Outcomes
Multiorgan dysfunction
ARDS with sepsis
Severe neurological injury
Long time interval between
shock and initiating ECMO
How long does ECMO last?
 Advances in life-support technologies and expertise are
making it possible for patients to remain on ECMO for much
longer.
VA Advantages & Disadvantages
 Easy to use
 Circulatory support
 Instant stabilisation
 Huge experience
 Right heart
offloaded and
rested
 Carotid ligation
 Jugular ligation
 Raised LV afterload
 Reduced pulmonary
blood flow
 Hypoxic coronary
perfusion
 Stun- high LV afterload
 Duct
CONTRAINDICATIONS
 Major CNS injury
Severe anoxia
Embolic or
hemorrhagic
stroke
Intracerebral
hemorrhage
 Multiorgan failure
 Metastatic disease
 Overwhelming
sepsis
Equipment: Cannulas
 VV ECMO:
 Jugular vein, femoral vein
 VA ECMO
 Vein: femoral
 Artery:
 Femoral
 Axillary
 Aorta
Axillary vs Femoral Cannulation
AXILLARY
 Side-arm graft sewn on
 Antegrade perfusion
better for cerebral and
aortic root oxygenation,
especially when lungs not
oxygenating
 Increased afterload
 Risk of arm hyper-
perfusion
FEMORAL
 Percutaneous
 Need antegrade stick for
forward perfusion
 Retrograde perfusion
increases atheroembolic
risk
 Ad-mixing with
cardiopulmonary
circulation => indequate
cerebral and aortic root
oxygenation if lungs not
oxygenating

Equipment:
Pump, Oxygenator
 Thoratec Centrimag pump & motor
 Centrimag console
 Maquet Quadrox oxygenator
ECMO Management
Anticoagulation
 IV Heparin, target ACT of 200-240 seconds to prevent
clotting upon interference of blood with prosthetic surfaces
and in stagnant areas.
 If high bleeding risk, ACT 180-220 s
 Watch for platelet drop and heparin induced
thrombocytopenia (HIT)
Monitoring an ECMO patient
 Continuous cerebral SaO2
 CVP, PAP, CO
 CXR – assess pulmonary edema
 SvO2: 75% in VA ECMO and 85-90% on VV
ECMO considered adequate as long
as CO normal

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Not in my mind what have to present and which one is easily present because of some other business atually I don’t have time to prep slides. So 5 days before finally decided present some thing out from cath lab and out of my mind. So today finally presenting ECMO and we will learn together in today session .
  • #3: ECMO is an advanced form of temporary life support, to aid support respiratory and/or cardiac function. 
  • #6:  Gibbon was the first to use artificial oxygenation and perfusion support for the first successful open-heart surgery in 1953.
  • #7: Ten years later in 1963, Kolobow described the construction and evaluation of an alveolar membrane artificial heart lung . This was “the embryo” of the ECMO, which was first successfully used in treatment by Hill in 1971.
  • #8: The two most common forms of ECMO are veno-venous (VV) and veno-arterial (VA). In VV-ECMO, used to support gas exchange, oxygenated blood is returned to a central vein. In VA-ECMO, used in cases of cardiac or cardiorespiratory failure, oxygenated blood is returned to the systemic arterial circulation, bypassing both the heart and lungs.
  • #9: ECMO circuit consists of specialized cannulae attached to tubing connected to a centrifugal pump. Venous blood is siphoned into an extracorporeal artificial membrane oxygenator, and oxygenated blood is returned to the systemic venous circulation. The oxygenator consists of numerous low-resistance, hollow, fibers that allow for oxygen transfer across membrane from gas to blood interphase. VV ECMO improves systemic oxygenation and provides for a reduction in ventilatory inflation pressures, thereby decreasing ventilator-induced lung injury and facilitation of lung recovery.
  • #10: majority of cases using VV ECMO, in this type right femoral vein is used for venous drainage and the internal jugular vein is used for venous return If patients were unable to lie down for intubation due to dyspnea or a high risk of respiratory arrest during induction, femoral vein drainage and femoral return to the right atrium was performed in the sitting position If additional heart support was necessary during VV ECMO, we added a return cannula to the femoral artery and employed veno-arterial ECMO (VA ECMO If cardiac arrest occurred due to breath-holding, we initially used VA ECMO. For VA ECMO 5000 heparin immediately before cannulation. ACT was maintained for approximately 180-240 s.
  • #11: When conventional ventilatory therapies aren’t enough that time use VV ECMO VV ECMO does not support systemic circulation or alter hemodynamics,
  • #12: V-A ECMO. V-A, or veno-arterial ECMO, supports both heart and lung function. The surgeon will place two cannulae, one in a large vein and one in a large artery so that blood can be taken out of a vein and returned into an artery.
  • #13: ECMO is a life support for patients with severe life-threatening condition will that’s mean will significant affects on heart or lungs. What is the main job of ECMO. keeps blood moving through the body and keeps blood gasses in balance (oxygen and carbon dioxide) …….Just clear ECMO does not treat lung or heart failure, but does the jobs of the heart and lungs temporarily ― allowing them to “rest.” 
  • #14: IABP use in ECMO for increase coronary perfuison ,
  • #15: 14
  • #16: 15
  • #17: 16
  • #18: 17
  • #19: 18
  • #20: The duration of ECMO treatment depends on the underlying problem with the person’s heart or lungs. ECMO treatment may last only a few hours or days, but in some cases, ECMO might continue for weeks. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Dr. Glenn Whitman director of the cardiovascular surgical intensive care unit. at Johns Hopkins the average ECMO treatment lasted about 10 days, In Hamad Hospital one patient keep on ECMO for 10 months. Credit goes to management team making it possible for patients to remain on ECMO for much longer.
  • #22: Metastatic disease example of stage IV cancer cells spread to other parts of the body is called metastasis. Sepsis is the body's overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection that can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
  • #23: Cannulation based on patient BSA for adult standard BSA use 2.4 and for children BSA 2.8
  • #24: Peripheral cannulation in femoral or axillary artery is generally preferred over central cannulation in ascending aorta.  No cannulation strategy for VA-ECMO is perfect. Surgeons should make individualized decisions on the appropriate arterial cannulation site and revise to an alternate cannulation site when required.
  • #25: Femoral cannula configuration illustration (left) and intraoperative photograph (right): femoral artery vascular graft (1) was used for arterial perfusion; a regular 25F venous cannula (2) was introduced up to the inferior vena cava-right atrium junction from the femoral vein; and an extra 14F cannula (3) was inserted into the distal femoral vein. 
  • #28: INR 1.5 to 2.0 ACT 180 to 240 APPT 50-60
  • #30: Infections can be associated with the devices used in medical procedures, such as catheters or ventilators. These healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) include central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
  • #33: In November 2019, HMC set up a Heart and Lung Transplant Taskforce team, led by Professor Takahiro Oto, an internationally renowned expert in lung transplantation., Previous announcement in early 2021 as per Medical Director of Hamad General Hospital and Director of Qatar Center for Organ Transplantation, Dr. Yousef Al Maslamani. The first heart transplant is expected to take place in the current year of 2022 Heart Hospital planning to start Heart transplant Programm very soon and Heart Hospital management working on it closely. So far successfully done 3 Lungs transplant in HMC which covered by Heart Hospital Perfusionist team. We believe that our dedicated ECMO team, part of multidisciplinary team and approach and commitment to provide maximize the chances of successful achieved Qatar MOPH milestone.
  • #34: Rapidly evolving technology Increasing array of indications Excellent “tool” for ACS with cardiogenic shock Shifting the paradigm of “bridge to recovery” Presently investigating the “science” behind the clinical results
  • #35: I'd like to thank you for your time and attention today. Thank you so much for your interest and attention.
