Impact of BMI on outcomes in respiratory ECMO: an ELSO registry study

Abstract: Purpose The impact of body mass index (BMI) on outcomes in respiratory failure necessitating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been poorly described. We aimed to assess: (i) whether adults with class II obesity or more (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m 2 ) have worse outcomes than lean counterparts, (ii) the form of the relationship between BMI and outcomes, (iii) whether a cutoff marking futility can be identified. Methods A retrospective analysis … Show more

“…26 Additionally, a more recent 2022 ELSO study of more than 18,000 respiratory failure patients on ECMO (performed after our review was complete) shows that patients with BMIs of greater than or equal to 35 had decreased inpatient mortality and reduced hospital length of stays. 27 Based on our review, there does appear to be at least a trend toward reduced mortality among obese VV ECMO adults, but there is not a clear explanation.…”

“…A more significant percentage of the airway pressure may be diverted to expanding the chest wall in obese patients, leading to decreased transpulmonary pressures and less effective mechanical ventilation. 27,31 Further research is needed to determine why critically ill obese patients have better survival, particularly while on ECMO.…”

“…In our study, ECMO-CRRT survivors were younger, had a higher BMI (similar to other reports in the literature) and had a negative fluid balance. On the other hand, patients with a primary cardiac indication for ECMO and VA ECMO support had increased mortality [ 13 ].…”

“…Thus, more systematic and scienti c clinical research is needed to evaluate the effects of maxillary expansion using different expanders. PSM has been extensively used in recent clinical studies to increase the experiment credibility by balance baseline data between groups [21,22]. Therefore, in this study PSM was innovatively introduced to balance confounding factors including sex, CVM stage, DI score, and Angle's classi cation (Table s1), greatly enhancing comparability between the two treated groups.…”
