Respiratory Failure Patients Treated With ECMO Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of the Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Respiratory Failure Patients With ECMO Therapy
The present study is a multicentre cohort study. Respiratory failure patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) were enrolled. Clinical data before and during ECMO treatment were collected. Clinical data before and during ECMO treatment were collected. By this retrospective clinical data and prospective study, to observe the current status of respiratory failure patients treated with ECMO in China, analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients, and explore the clinical prevention and treatment strategies of major complications of ECMO.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the ultimate life support for critically ill patients. However, ECMO was developed relatively late in China, and the large number of applications in the field of respiratory failure originated from the 2009 H1N1 influenza epidemic in China. Since then, the number of respiratory failure patients with ECMO has increased year by year. Nevertheless, there are still many problems about ECMO therapy for respiratory failure in China, mainly as follows:(1) Lack of real-world clinical data on ECMO. Most centers do not have their own databases, lack long-term follow-up, and are unable to establish a mature ECMO quality management system. (2) Lack of ECMO-related biological sample libraries. (3) Risk factors for major complications such as thrombosis and hemorrhage, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and bloodstream infections are still unclear. At present, most of the experience in the prevention and treatment of major complications of ECMO comes from foreign studies, and clinical studies have confirmed that the sensitivity and specificity of the currently commonly used biological indicators in the prediction and early warning of complications are not ideal. Therefore, there is an urgent need to carry out research on new biomarkers based on the establishment of clinical databases and biospecimen libraries. We retrospectively collected clinical data on respiratory failure patients treated with ECMO from June 2019 from five hospitals, and prospectively enrolled respiratory failure patients treated with ECMO from October 2022 from five hospitals. By this cohort study, to establish clinical databases and biospecimen libraries, and analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients, and explore the clinical prevention and treatment strategies of major complications of ECMO. ;
