Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
So I had a question from one of our readers, Greg and Greg asks, when should treatment be withdrawn when a patient after cardiac arrest is on ECMO? So what are the timelines around that?
What a great question Greg, and let’s break this down for you. So, sometimes what happens when patients have a cardiac arrest, they end up on ECMO. ECMO basically takes over the function of the heart while the heart is recovering from an event such as a cardiac arrest. It gives the heart time to recover, regain some of the functions while supporting the heart with inotropic or vasopressor therapy.
And again, then also look at other options, sometimes ECMO is used as a bridge to a VAD (Ventricular Assist Device) and that can be used as a bridge to a heart transplant. But that would be as a next step if the heart can’t recover, if ejection fraction, for example, is poor, which is the contractility of the heart and so forth.
