Early posthospitalization recovery after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in survivors of COVID-19

Lauren J. Taylor et al.

Summary: Survivors of COVID-19 may experience significant physical, psychological, and cognitive deficits following intensive care unit admission. Patients treated with venovenous ECMO have similar survival rates at discharge and outcomes within 120 days compared to other mechanically ventilated patients.

Multi-institutional Analysis of 505 Patients With Coronavirus Disease-2019 Supported With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Predictors of Survival

Celeste A. Hall et al.

Summary: This study reviewed 505 patients with COVID-19 supported with ECMO and found that survivors tend to be younger and have a shorter time from diagnosis to intubation. The survival rate of patients supported with only venovenous ECMO was 39.5%.

Differences and Similarities Among COVID-19 Patients Treated in Seven ICUs in Three Countries Within One Region: An Observational Cohort Study*

Dieter Mesotten et al.

Summary: This study investigated the variations in general characteristics, interventions, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICUs within one region in Western Europe. The results showed significant differences in ICU mortality rates and the use of interventions among the three countries. Differences in healthcare systems' organization and ICU capacity, combined with the rapidly spreading pandemic, may contribute to the observed variations.

Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is not associated with survival in acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by coronavirus disease 2019

Martina Hermann et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) prior to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on ICU mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. The results showed that the duration of IMV prior to ECMO cannulation did not affect survival. Therefore, the suitability of ECMO treatment should be assessed for COVID-19 related ARDS patients.

Summary: This systematic review summarized the literature on MCS utilization rates, drivers for MCS initiation, and outcomes in COVID-19 patients. The results indicated that MCS was required for cardiocirculatory compromise in 7.3% of patients needing ECLS for COVID-19.

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with acute covid-19 associated respiratory failure: comparative effectiveness study

Martin Urner et al.

Summary: An observational study found that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with a reduced risk of mortality in adults with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. Age, severity of hypoxaemia, and duration and intensity of mechanical ventilation were identified as modifiers of treatment effectiveness, and should be taken into consideration when deciding to initiate ECMO in patients with COVID-19.

Respiratory indications for ECMO: focus on COVID-19

Alexander Supady et al.

Summary: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used for severe COVID-19 patients. Studies have shown a potential benefit of ECMO in combination with ultra-lung-protective ventilation. However, the mortality rate of ECMO-supported patients has increased during the pandemic, and the reasons for this are unclear. Risk factors for mortality in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients are associated with the outcomes of ECMO therapy.

COVID-19: from3 an acute to chronic disease? Potential long-term health consequences

Victoria Higgins et al.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has resulted in over 57.8 million confirmed cases worldwide with potential long-term health consequences for recovered patients. While multi-organ manifestations are well-documented, the long-term implications remain to be fully uncovered, necessitating large cohort studies to better understand the breadth and severity of long-term effects.

Chaolin Huang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term health consequences of discharged COVID-19 patients and associated risk factors, particularly disease severity. Patients with more severe illness during hospitalization showed more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for long-term recovery.

Quality of life and functional status of patients treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at 6 months

Hussein D. Kanji et al.

Summary: The study investigated the quality of life outcomes of ARDS patients treated with ECMO at 6 months. The majority of patients had near-normal pulmonary function and good quality of life, but a considerable proportion experienced anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms. A significant number of patients faced challenges in returning to usual activities, experiencing pain, and returning to work.

Summary: This study analyzed adult patients admitted to intensive care units in Greater Paris for ECMO treatment during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most patients were male and prone positioned before ECMO. The 90-day survival rate after ECMO treatment was 46%, with the main causes of death being multiorgan failure and septic shock.
