Abstract
Background: This study aimed to describe the efficacy of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) through early lactate clearance and pH restoration and assess the potential association with 30-day survival following hospital discharge.
Methods: Data of patients receiving VA-ECLS for at least 24 h were retrospectively compiled. Blood lactate levels, liver enzymes, and kidney parameters prior to VA-ECLS initiation and at 2, 8, 14, 20, and 26 h of support had been recorded as part of clinical care. The primary outcome was 30-day survival.
Results: Of 77 patients who underwent VA-ECLS for refractory cardiogenic shock, 44.2% survived. For all non-survivors, ECLS was initiated after eight hours (p = .008). Blood pH was significantly higher in survivors compared to non-survivors at all time points except for pre-ECLS. Lactate levels were significantly lower in survivors (median range 1.95-4.70 vs 2.90-6.70 mmol/L for survivors vs non-survivors, respectively). Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that blood pH at 24 h (OR 0.045, 95% CI: 0.005-0.448 for pH <7.35, p = .045) and lactate concentration pre-ECLS (OR 0.743, 95% CI: 0.590-0.936, p = .012) were reliable predictors for 30-day survival. Further, ischemic cardiogenic shock as ECLS indication showed 36.2% less lactate clearance compared to patients with other indications such as arrhythmia, postcardiotomy, and ECPR.
Conclusion: ECLS showed to be an effective treatment in reducing blood lactate levels in patients suffering from refractory cardiogenic shock in which the outcome is influenced by the initial lactate level and pH in the early phase of the intervention.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
