SCCM Resource Library-The Patient Weaned off ECMO, and Now?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker presents on the topic of long-term outcomes for patients receiving ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) support. They discuss the growth and use of ECMO in various populations, including neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients. The speaker emphasizes the importance of considering patient factors, such as comorbidities, in predicting outcomes. They also highlight the impact of ECMO cannulation strategy on patient outcomes, particularly in relation to neurological injury. The timing and process of ECMO weaning and decannulation are also discussed as important factors in patient outcomes. The speaker suggests that improving ECMO outcomes requires a focus on institutional processes, such as avoiding prolonged hypotension and targeting post-resuscitation care, as well as community efforts in monitoring long-term outcomes. They also emphasize the need for standardized data elements and core outcome sets in ECMO research. Overall, the goal is to achieve optimal outcomes for patients and their families.

Asset Caption

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has been established as an advanced therapeutic alternative for respiratory failure, cardiogenic shock, and failure to wean off cardiopulmonary bypass. With a global increase in expertise, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and other ECLS options have been explored in other patients’ indications. This session aims to increase understanding of future possibilities and indications for ECMO and ECLS toward improving individual outcomes.
