Abstract:
Objective:To review the clinical prognosis and causes of death in children with extracorporeal membrane pulmonary(ECMO) assistance after congenital heart disease(CHD) operation in our center, so as to improve the survival rate of ECMO.Methods:All clinical data of 105 children with VA-ECMO assisted after CHD operation who were admitted to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from January 2017 to December 2019 were collected, and the clinical characteristics and causes of death were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The age of 105 children with ECMO was 110(38, 341)days, the weight was 5.30(3.75, 8.45)kg, and the risk adjustment for congenital heart surgery score was 3(2-3)points.There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, weight, height, risk adjustment for congenital heart surgery score, the number of ECMO installed in the operating room, the number of ECMO installed after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ECMO duration between the surviving group ( n=51) and the death group ( n=54)( P>0.05). While there was a significant difference in utilization of continuous renal replacement therapy[7.8% (4/51) vs.38.9% (21/54), P<0.001]. The death mainly occurred within one week after evacuating ECMO(83.3%, 45/54). ECMO installation was most in children aged 1 month to 1 year old(52.4%, 55/105), and the survival rate showed a rise over three years(2017 to 2019), increased from 31.6% (6/19) to 65.0% (13/20). Children with 3 to 5 kg were the most affected (39.0%, 41/105) when ECMO was installed, and the survival rate from 2017 to 2019 increased from 28.6%(4/14) to 75.0%(9/12). The main cause of death was heart failure(48.1%, 26/54), followed by bleeding(18.5%, 10/54)and pulmonary hypertension(13.0%, 7/54). Conclusion:With the progress of surgical technology and cardiopulmonary bypass, and the improvement of postoperative management, the mortality of children with CHD in our hospital after ECMO has decreased year by year during the last three years.However, the mortality of children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy assistance during ECMO is higher.Therefore, it is still necessary to strengthen the maintenance of each organ function during ECMO.
