Survival After Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on Weekends in Comparison With Weekdays

Abstract: ECPR on the weekend was associated with a lower survival rate and lower resuscitation quality, including higher cannulation failure and higher complication rate.

“…In our meta-analysis, this association between time to ECMO and survival is not found. However, most of the studies included in our meta-analysis do nd a relationship between time to ECMO and survival, when this was investigated [18,[22][23][24][25][26][27]34]. Possibly, our results can be explained due to an aggregation effect: our results imply that -because the variation in outcome between studies was small-differences in mean calculated time to ECMO do not explain differences in mean survival between studies.…”

“…None replied after multiple attempts, therefore these studies were excluded. Finally, 19 articles were included [17,18,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] (Fig 1).…”

“…Only few studies exist on the outcomes of patients with cardiac arrest with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the weekday versus the weekend; however, study in adults suggests extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the weekend was associated with a lower survival and higher complications. 26 The most common indication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in this cohort was cardiac arrest, and immediate availability of necessary personnel for rescue cannulation may be highest during the workweek. Thus weekend/night availability may play a role in the association with mortality.…”

“…No access to interventional radiology or operating theatres. Failure to cannulate Hospital-based percutaneous VA-ECMO cannulation has a reported failure rate between 7% and 10% [ 52 , 53 ] and is anticipated to be higher in the pre-hospital environment. Surgical cut down may reduce the expected failure rate in the pre-hospital setting.…”

“…Surgical cut down may reduce the expected failure rate in the pre-hospital setting. Limb Ischaemia In-hospital limb ischaemia after insertion of VA-ECMO cannulae is reported in the range of 12–15% [ 31 , 52 ] and would be similar in the pre-hospital environment. The usual practice of inserting a retrograde distal limb perfusion cannula would be deferred until arrival at hospital.…”
