BACKGROUNDExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as an effective technique for the mechanical support of many pediatric postcardiotomy patients with medically refractory cardiac failure.METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed the records of 73 pediatric patients with congenital heart disease who were placed on ECMO support between August 1984 and February 1994. The patients were divided into groups defined by the timing of ECMO cannulation relative to the time of operation. Group 1 patients (n = 7, 9.6%) were placed on ECMO preoperatively. Group 2 patients (n = 66, 90.4%) were a heterogeneous population placed on ECMO at any interval after cardiac repair. Subgroup 2A consisted of patients (n = 17, 25.8%) who could not be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass and were converted directly to ECMO support immediately after repair. Subgroup 2B patients (n = 49, 74.2%) were cannulated postoperatively after an initial period of clinical stability.RESULTSHospital survival for all study patients (42/73) and for group 2 patients (38/66) was 58%. Only 4 group 2A patients (23.5%) survived their hospitalization compared with 34 group 2B patients (69.4%) (p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified elevated right atrial pressure after ECMO decannulation (p = 0.049) and, possibly, membership in group 2A (p = 0.061) as independent risk factors for hospital death.CONCLUSIONSExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation is most effective in salvaging pediatric cardiac surgical patients who demonstrate medically refractory hemodynamic deterioration at some interval after being successfully weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass. The right atrial pressure after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation is an independent predictor of hospital death.
