Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Cardiogenic Shock: Lifeline of Modern Day CICU

Abstract: Cardiogenic shock (CS) portends an extremely high mortality of nearly 50% during index hospitalization. Prompt diagnoses of CS, its underlying etiology, and efficient implementation of treatment modalities, including mechanical circulatory support (MCS), are critical especially in light of such high predicted mortality. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides the most comprehensive cardiopulmonary support in critically ill patients and hence has seen a steady increase in its utiliza… Show more

“…Venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is an important circulatory support to rescue patients with refractory cardiogenic shock ( 1 , 2 ). However, the use of V-A ECMO can also lead to various complications ( 3 , 4 ), such as infection, hemorrhage, lung injury and skeletal muscle atrophy ( 5 ).…”

“…Patient’s functional cardiac reserve, which was used to overcome afterload, is now converted to cope with the increased preload. Therefore, it has two main effects: ( 1 ) blood flow reaching the left heart will increase accordingly and move the operating point along the Frank-Starling curve to the right; ( 2 ) decreased retrograde device flow reduces afterload and thus shifts the Frank-Starling curve upward ( Figure 1B ). The combined effect is a shift of the heart’s operating point to the upper right.…”

“…1 Among different configurations, veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO can provide hemodynamic support for patients with hemodynamic compromise. 2,3 The primary indications of V-A ECMO include cardiac arrest, refractory multifactorial cardiogenic shock (CS), refractory ventricular tachycardia, failure to wean off cardiopulmonary bypass and a variety of infrequent indications. 4 In China, V-A ECMO has not been applied generally until the early 21st century.…”
