The last several years have seen ECMO applied to cases of refractory cardiac arrest, and data from ELSO show the survival rate in this circumstance to be an amazing 27% [40]. Practical Aspects At this point, some practical aspects of providing ECMO for lung or heart patients are worth reviewing. First of all, ECMO is an extraordinary resource and labor-intensive process. Institutions and individual providers need to be prepared for such. That being said, there are indications that, at least for ARDS, ECMO may prove economically viable relative to current standard therapy [11].
Intravascular oxygenator systems such as the intravascular oxygenator [47, 48] and the Hattler catheter [49] are in the early stages of development, or subclinical testing. These systems are designed for implantation in the vena cava with or without blood pumps and using an external gas source for oxygenation. Conclusion ECMO appears poised to take a place in best practice clinical algorithms for managing severe acute lung injury, and medically refractory heart failure as a bridge to recovery, implantable mechanical cardiac assist device, or heart, lung or heart lung transplantation.
2. Exclusion criteria included late ARDS as determined by a requirement of high FiO2 (>80%), or high ventilator measured airway pressure (plateau pressure >30 cm H2O) for >7 days. Moribund patients and those with contraindications to heparin were also excluded. For patients randomized to ECMO, survival without severe disability, the primary endpoint 22 of the study was 63% as opposed to those receiving conventional MV for whom it was 47%. edu] which shows current survival rates of ECMO for adult ARDS of >50% [28].
