Objectives: To investigate whether severe hyperoxia predisposes to end-organ complications and whether these complications contribute to in-hospital mortality among cardiogenic shock (CS) patients supported in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).

Design: Adult patients with CS from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry between 2010 and 2023 were categorized into normoxia (Pa o2 60-150 mm Hg), mild hyperoxia (Pa o2 151-300 mm Hg), and severe hyperoxia (Pa o2 > 300 mm Hg) based on their Pa o2 at 24 hours. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.

Article Synopsis
  • The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the link between arterial oxygen levels (Pao2) and 28-day mortality among patients on ECMO support.
  • Thirteen studies involving nearly 17,800 participants were analyzed, revealing that higher Pao2 levels corresponded with increased mortality across various defined thresholds.
  • The findings indicate that elevated Pao2 values in critically ill ECMO patients are associated with a higher risk of death, applicable to both adult and pediatric groups, necessitating cautious interpretation of the results.

Conservative or liberal oxygen targets in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the effects of conservative versus liberal oxygen strategies on patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the ICU, aiming to find a balance between avoiding hyperoxia and preventing hypoxia.
  • A total of 300 patients were randomly assigned to either conservative (target SaO 92-96%) or liberal oxygen (target SaO 97-100%), but both groups showed similar outcomes in ICU-free days and mortality rates at days 28 and 60.
  • The conservative group had significantly more major protocol deviations compared to the liberal group, but overall, the two oxygen strategies did not differ in their impact on patient recovery in the ICU.

Despite significant efforts toward improving therapy for septic shock, mortality remains high. Applying veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in this context remains controversial. Since the cannulation of the femoral artery for V-A ECMO return leads to lower body hyperoxia, this study investigated the impact of V-A ECMO therapy on the intestinal and hepatic microcirculation during septic shock in a rodent model.

Backgound: Hyperoxemia is common and associated with poor outcome during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) support for cardiogenic shock. However, little is known about practical daily management of oxygenation. Then, we aim to describe sweep gas oxygen fraction (FO), postoxygenator oxygen partial pressure (PO), inspired oxygen fraction (FO), and right radial arterial oxygen partial pressure (PO) between day 1 and day 7 of peripheral VA ECMO support.
