Abstract
Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has the potential to rescue patients in cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. From February 2010 to August 2012, 22 patients in cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, shock state, or respiratory failure underwent ECMO using the Capiox emergent bypass system, and we retrospectively reviewed the clinical results. We performed ECMO emergently for 12 patients (54.5 %), and especially six patients among them were during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There were five hemorrhagic complications which might be occurred from heparinization, and three patients among them could not maintain ECMO. Eight patients of the 15 patients who were undergone a veno-arterial type ECMO could be weaned from ECMO, and then four patients survived. On the other hand, five patients of the 7 patients who were undergone a veno-venous type ECMO could be weaned from ECMO, and then two patients survived. The weaning rate from ECMO was 59 %, which is reasonable and relatively higher than other worldwide reports. However, the survival rate was 27.3 % that was significantly lower. We suggest that the low survival rate despite the high weaning rate results from indiscreet selections for ECMO patients, and more cautious indication for ECMO could improve survival rate.
