 ……Rapid deployment of VA-ECMO during cardiac arrest,
when conventional CPR has failed to provide return of
spontaneous circulation (ROSC)……
 ……or when repetitive arrests occur without sustained
ROSC……
 ECMO for low output cardiac states
Why would you do ECPR?
Why would you do ECPR?
 37yo massive PE post-op pelvic surgery
 ‘Temporary CPB provided 15mins of circulatory
support while removal of bilateral pulmonary emboli
was accomplished’
 ‘A battery- powered portable cardiopulmonary bypass machine
has been used in 39 patients whose condition precluded
transport to the operating room……’
 ‘……successfully placed on CPB at the bedside within 15mins of
cardiac arrest using femoral artery and femoral vein
cannulation’
Why would you do ECPR?
 No RCT comparing ECPR with conventional CPR (CCPR)
 Limited to observational studies, case series
 Propensity- matched modelling to compare ECPR with CCPR
 Recent systematic review and meta-analysis
Fagnoul D, Combes A, De Backer D. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Curr Opin Crit Care. 2014 Jun;20(3):259-65.
 3 year prospective observational study (Taiwan 2004-2006)
 IHCA >10mins, deemed likely cardiac origin
 All rhythms included
 Primary outcome: survival to hospital D/C
 Secondary outcomes: 30-day, 1-year survival, rate of ROSC
 Propensity matching to compare ECPR vs CCPR
Why would you do ECPR?
 Retrospective 2003-2009, single centre (Korea)
 Primary outcome: survival to D/C with CPC 1-2
 85 patients ECPR vs 321 patients CCPR
 Propensity matched 60 pairs

Editor's Notes

  • #5: ARC 2016: eCPR is a reasonable rescue therapy for selected patients with cardiac arrest when initial standard cpr is failing, in settings where this can be implemented
  • #6: 37yo massive PE post-op pelvic surgery. ‘Temporary CPB provided 15mins of circulatory support while removal of bilat pulmonary emboli was accomplished’
  • #9: Evidence quality= NOT GOOD As with most resuscitation studies, ability to perform RCT limited by nature of patient group ‘Differing beasts’, therefore warrant separation for evidence review purposes. But importance of systems remains for both
  • #10: Note: Survival rates 7- 57%, numbers 5-85 patients, time to ECMO of up to 55mins Note majority of studies from Taiwan, Japan, Korea etc (potentially well oiled systems due to volume and experience…..implications for extrapolation to ANZ)
  • #11: Use of mechanical CPR device not mentioned
  • #12: Propensity matched Kaplan Meier curve of cumulative survival showed better cumulative rate of survival in ECPR-M at end of 30 days and 1yr
  • #13: Retrospective over 6 years, Korea. 85 ECPR in total Propensity matched 60 pairs (120 patients)
  • #14: KM curves of survival with minimal neurological impairment for the propensity score- matched patients Difference more pronounced in ‘presumed cardiac' subset (45 pairs) Note 30d outcome similar to 6 month
  • #15: Although clear benefit has been demonstrated in ECPR for IHCA (albeit non-randomised studies), little robust evidence for ECPR in OOHCA. In fact, data are scarce and conflicting Le Guen: terrible outcomes, but note extremely long time to ECMO
  • #18: KM survival analysis showing a benefit favouring door-to-ECMO time <30mins
  • #19: South Korea. Retrospective, single centre observational. 51% VF/VT. 10 survivors. 9 CPC 1or2, 1 CPC 4.
  • #20: 10 out of 1583 studies included. Studies with crude data only not used (increased risk of bias in comparability). PPA studies used, ie. adjusted for confounders, attempt to reduce heterogenicity. Of note, in Australia survival to hosp DC is approx. 11% (9% in USA, 2% in Japan)
  • #22: Benefit more pronounced for OOHCA group (possibly related to younger patients, reversible disease factors etc)
  • #24: Pilot study, assessing feasibility. All were successfully cannulated (combined cut- down/ perc technique). Recent results: 10% survival, 10% OD
  • #25: Pilot study, assessing feasibility. All were successfully cannulated (combined cut- down/ perc technique). Recent results: 10% survival, 10% OD
  • #26: Currently in write-up stage. To be presented at ELSO San Diego. Pre-CHEER 2 patients.
  • #27: 37 after excluding 3 due to incomplete datasets etc
  • #28: Log regression analysis looking at baseline data and association with mortality (p value)
  • #31: To give an idea of resources involved for these patients
  • #32: Complications on ECMO not infrequent, mainly bleeding. None associated with mortality
