Are there any positive outcomes of this treatment in critical ill adult patients?

> Technique used to provide life support to the critically ill;

> Temporary support for patients with pulmonary or

cardiac failure (or both), when no other form of

treatment is likely to be successful [1];

> Expensive therapy, requiring the weighing of its

application, instead of other forms of treatment [1]. Fig. 1: ECMO system.

Past records> Mechanical circulatory support has evolved markedly since the first successful

application of the heart–lung machine in 1953 [2];

> First successful implantation of ECMO , by Robert Bartlett , dates from 1972 [3];

> Used commonly at several specialized hospitals for the treatment of infants

and, less frequently, for adults with respiratory or cardiac failure [3];

> Its use in adults remained controversial for some time, due to lower survival

rates [4].

Modalities of ECMO

> Blood is drawn from the venous

system, oxygenated and pumped into

the arterial circulation;

> Provides partial or complete support

of heart, and allows the oxygenation

of blood [3].

ADVANTAGES

Support of the critically ill patients.

Successfully implemented in several situations (stated previously);

The benefits of ECMO were seen in the CESAR trial regardless of age, duration of ventilation, diagnosis, and number of organs failing [7].

The heterogenic data, due to the several indications, and the lack of quality randomized trials in adults, difficult the evaluation of the benefits of this technique.

In order to conduct the literature research it was imperative to develop specific query’s to apply on

the chosen databases. The development of the query’s were based in the analysis of the main

objective of this article.

Determine if the application of the ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)

support is better, in detriment of the usual standard care, in critically ill adult patients

who present cardiac or respiratory failure (or both).

> There was no statistical difference

between ECMO and Control groups.

> Studies with a higher N and more

control over the intervention would be

needed to achieve better conclusions.

Does it worth to continue using ECMO over other conventional therapies?

> Control seems to be advantageous over ECMO.

> ANZ ECMO et al. has a weight that far exceeds other studies (74,4%).

The results are biased, therefore it is not possible to draw conclusions.

ECMO is provided or being considered, although local costs, health services,

Conclusion

56

> The use of ECMO in critically ill adults does not offer any improvement;

> There is a tendency for ECMO to have better results (lower mortality) in

cardiac indications;

> Conventional treatments present better results in respiratory indications;

> ECMO has more complications than other therapies;

> More clinical trials are needed to establish a more valid assumption.

Before embarking on the costly task of instituting an ECMO program for adults, healthcare systems should carefully evaluate the comparative effectiveness of ECMO compared with conventional treatments.

Study limitations

57

> Low number of clinical trials compared to the

number of observational studies (1/9);

> Bias inherent to original data from observational

studies could not be eliminated;

> Some articles were not accessible using UP

credentials;

> Lack of data related to indication, complications,

among others;

> Individual outcomes were affected by the period

in which they occurred.

We gratefully thank our Professor Filipa Canário for her endeavor

throughout the whole year, whose help allowed us to complete the task

we have been assigned. Moreover, we feel our acknowledgements should

also be directed to Professor Altamiro Pereira, PhD, whose reviews

provided our work an undeniable level of quality.
