The CERAMICS study is designed to more clearly delineate the current care of acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMICS) patients who are treated with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in the United States with significant experience in MCS, all of whom have the capability of MCS escalation on-site. Study enrollment is targeted at 120 patients at 20 hospital sites, evaluating clinical outcomes, and focusing on outcomes MCS escalation decision making and ICU level management.
This retrospective study assesses long term renal outcome in patients having suffered medical or post cardiotomy refractory cardiogenic shock requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) concomitant with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The authors seek to establish for accurate definition of renal recovery status predicting poor long-term renal outcomes.
Brief Summary : Rhythm disorders are a frequent and potentially serious complication of critical patients in the ICU and postoperative cardiac surgery. In particular, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disorder in patients admitted to the ICU and is associated with excess mortality during acute circulatory failure. In postoperative cardiac surgery, AF affects 15 to 45% of patients. In addition to hemodynamic effects, AF increases the risk of stroke, bleeding, respiratory or renal failure, and doubles mortality at 30 days and 6 months. In the longer term, the recurrence rate of AF within 1 year after hospital discharge is about 50%. Similarly, other rhythm disorders, supraventricular or ventricular, can be life-threatening in ICU patients. While the incidence and complications of rhythm disorders are well documented during sepsis, cardiogenic shock or after cardiac surgery, there are to our knowledge no data on the frequency and complications of rhythm disorders in patients assisted by VA ECMO. The primary objective is to describe the incidence of supraventricular rhythm disorders in patients assisted by VA ECMO.
The Abiomed Impella 5.5 is a surgically placed temporary mechanical support device used in patients in cardiogenic shock. The investigators propose using regional anesthesia (3 separate peripheral nerve blocks) to facilitate Impella 5.5 placement, a procedure which has traditionally been performed under a general anesthetic. Regional anesthesia is a proven and widely used technique to facilitate upper extremity vascular surgery cases (i.e. arteriovenous fistula creation). The investigators believe that employing these blocks in conjunction with intravenous sedation or monitored anesthesia care (MAC anesthesia) - a technique used in all types of cases, even in sick hearts during thranscatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) - will avoid the need increased doses of medications to support the blood pressure and cardiac output, avoid the need for post operative mechanical ventilation and intravenous sedation, and speed up the time to participating in physical therapy, time to heart transplant/durable mechanical support/recovery, and time to hospital discharge.
Cardiogenic shock is a frequent reason for hospitalization in critical care units, with high mortality (50%). Several French registries have been created to improve knowledge of the prognostic factors of cardiogenic shock. In recent years, temporary mechanical circulatory support has become more important in cardiogenic shock. The monitoring of catecholamines is also performed with a global score: the vaso-inotropic score. The purpose of our study is to consider using these new data and techniques to create a cohort of cardiogenic shock within our critical care unit. This observational study is based on clinical, biological, and hemodynamic data recorded during the ICU stay of patients for cardiogenic shock. The primary endpoint is the relationship between the hemodynamic evolution of cardiogenic shock and in-hospital mortality.
The Dressing-ECMO trial is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, controlled trial randomizing patients who received percutaneous ECMO to cannula chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing vs standard dressing. The study goal is to determine if cannula chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings can reduce the number of cannula major-related infections with or without bloodstream infection
Venoarterial (VA) ECMO is a form of life support for patients with severe cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. Although it can be lifesaving, currently many patients still die or have long term disability, such as weakness, shortness of breath and cognitive impairments, and it remains extremely expensive. It is important that new ways of identifying which patients will gain the most benefit from ECMO are found, while also avoiding costly futile use when it there is no benefit. The PRECISE Study is an Australian-led, nation-wide observational study that will investigate whether biomarkers can better guide decisions around to whom and how ECMO is delivered. The study will involve the collection of a small amount of blood (which would normally be discarded) at up to 4 different time points, including just prior to ECMO initiation, and also at days 1, 3, and 7 of ECMO support. These results will then be linked to a national registry which includes the important patient centred outcomes, such as disability at 6 months. This study will lead to the better support of a highly vulnerable population, and improve the efficiency of one of the most complex and costly interventions available.
Treatment of refractory cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be augmented with Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to re-establish perfusion in the absence of return of spontaneous circulation. Literature has demonstrated that ECMO initiated during advanced cardiopulmonary life support may confer superior survival rates with acceptable survival and a relatively low incidence of significant neurologic impairment. Levosimendan has not been investigated in patients with cardiac arrest who underwent Extracorporeal CPR (E-CPR). The current study aims to examine whether levosimendan use in the aforementioned patient population could improve survival and ECMO parameters.
VA-ECMO is increasingly utilized in the setting of cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest to restore hemodynamic stability and end organ function. VA-ECMO serves as a short-term ventricular assist device that can be rapidly placed at the bedside in the emergency room, intensive care unit, cardiac catheterization suite, or operating room. A bridge to decision approach allows for the assessment of neurologic status, renal and hepatic function, and subsequent recovery of cardiac function. Despite its life-saving potential, VA-ECMO is fraught with complications including vascular complications from cannulation. In addition, neurologic injury, renal failure, liver failure, and sepsis are all well described sequelae of the post-cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest VA-ECMO patient. For these reasons, identifying early prognostic indicators and developing a score with regard to the outcome of this special patient population is of high interest. The proposed study aims to analyze 4 ICU scores/Survival prediction models [APACHE-II (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II), SAVE (Survival after VA ECMO) , SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment )and CASUS (Cardiac Surgery Score)] and evaluate their performance in predicting survival after VA ECMO insertion. This will be a clinical retrospective study which will be conducted in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care unit (CTICU) in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Heart Hospital, Doha. Patients admitted to the CTICU after institution of VA ECMO in the period between 1st January 2015 to 31st October 2022 will be screened retrospectively. Patients who stay for at least 12 hours in the CTICU would be eligible for inclusion in the study. All charts of patients who were admitted to CTICU after institution of VA ECMO during the afore mentioned period will be included in the review. All the risk scores would be calculated separately for all the enrolled patients and then subjected to statistical analysis to determine predictive accuracy for survival.
