Background The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for patients with refractory respiratory failure due to coronavirus 2019 (COVID‐19) is still unclear even now over a year into the pandemic. ECMO is becoming more commonplace even at smaller community hospitals. While the advantages of venovenous (VV) ECMO in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from COVID‐19 have not been fully determined, we believe the benefits outweighed the risks in our patient population. Here we describe all patients who underwent VV ECMO at our center. Methods All patients placed on ECMO at our center since the beginning of the pandemic, May 5, 2020, until February 20, 2021 were included in our study. All patients placed on ECMO during the time period described above were followed until discharge or death. The primary endpoint was in‐hospital death. Secondary outcomes included discharge disposition, that is, whether patients were sent to a long‐term acute care center (LTAC), inpatient rehabilitation, or went directly home. Results A total of 41 patients were placed on VV ECMO for refractory acute respiratory failure. Survival to discharge, the primary end point, was 63.4% (26/41). Inpatient mortality was 36.6% (15/41). Conclusions We show here that a successful high‐volume VV ECMO program for ARDS is achievable at even a medium‐size community hospital. We think our success can be replicated by most small‐ and medium‐size community hospitals with cardiothoracic surgery programs and intensivist teams.

“…How the team is ultimately built depends on the structure of the hospital and intensive care unit. 46 , 47 , 48 The number of interventions carried out and the orientation of the department (adult, pediatric or neonatal, cardiac, respiratory or both) also influence the size of the team and the need for training and further education. Center volume versus outcome relationship in ECLS is also controversial and there are conflicting studies on how close this relationship is.…”

Human factors in ECLS – A keystone for safety and quality – A narrative review for ECLS providers

et al. 2021

Introduction Although the technology used for extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has improved greatly in recent years, the application of these devices to the patient is quite complex and requires extensive training of team members both individually and together. Human factors is an area that addresses the activities, contexts, environments, and tools which interact with human behavior in determining overall system performance. Hypothesis Analyses of the cognitive behavior of ECLS teams and individual members of these teams with respect to the occurrence of human errors may identify additional opportunities to enhance safety in delivery of ECLS. Results The aim of this article is to support health‐care practitioners who perform ECLS, or who are starting an ECLS program, by establishing standards for the safe and efficient use of ECLS with a focus on human factor issues. Other key concepts include the importance of ECLS team leadership and management, as well as controlling the environment and the system to optimize patient care. Conclusion Expertise from other industries is extrapolated to improve patient safety through the application of simulation training to reduce error propagation and improve outcomes.

“…For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or severe cardiogenic shock, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a highly complex life-saving therapy that provides oxygen to their bodies, allowing their hearts and lungs to recover. 1 Though effective for the care of patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19, ECMO therapy for more than 10 days often costs patients more than $1,000,000 and requires close monitoring by highly skilled health care professionals. 1 , 2 Over the last 2.5 years, nearly 80 million Americans contracted COVID-19, leading to high numbers of patients with ARDS needing ECMO.…”
