TREAT THE “BABY LUNG” GENTLY

• VV ECMO provides gas exchange support only
– Blood drained from venous system and returned to venous system (e.g., jugular and femoral veins)
ECMO and Lung Rest – Limit VALI
• Subgroup of severe ARDS patients in which maintaining modest physiologic goals with lung protective MV is not possible
– Extracorporeal gas exchange may facilitate lung rest and prevent the need for injurious MV
– Complete apnea to spontaneous breathing
THE BEST WAY TO TREAT THE “BABY LUNG” GENTLY?

• Reductions in ECCO2R group• VT from 6.3 to 4.2 mL/kg PBW• Pplat from 29.1 to 25.0 cmH2O
• ECCO2R normalized PaCO2 (50.4 mmHg) and pH (7.32) despite lower VT
• After 72 hrs of ventilation and ECCO2R• Significant improvement in
morphological markers of lung protection and pulmonary cytokines
• No patient-related complications observed

How much should we “rest” the lung in patients with severe
ARDS on ECMO?
Lung Rest Ventilation During ECMO
• Appropriate MV settings for severe ARDS patients on ECMO are unknown– Optimal tidal volume?
– Optimal PEEP?
• Various strategies to achieve lung rest have been described– Effects on inflammatory markers/outcomes have
not been compared
– Role of spontaneous ventilation/extubation?

To Open, or Not to Open?
• Recruited lung
– Less likely to develop pneumonia
– Better surfactant function
– Less VALI?
– Improved outcomes?
• And if so, how to recruit, and at what cost?
– Potential for recruitment? “Inert” atelectasis?
– Overdistention/inhomogeneity – more VALI?

“We had arbitrarily chosen 5 cmH2O pressure to keep the lungs inflated above FRC. We do not know at this time whether this represents the optimal requirement or whether pressure is desirable or even necessary for optimal performance….
This study was not undertaken to extend the safe period of apnea during electroconvulsive therapy, bronchoscopy….Rather we feel the concept of long-term (as opposed to short-term) apnea with extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal can affect present practice of mechanical pulmonary ventilation in especially difficult cases.”
