Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Group 1 & 2: -Patients admitted to the (neonatal and/or pediatric) IC of Erasmus MC-Sophia, in need of ECMO either due to pathology for which they are primarily admitted or due to secondary pathology which originates during their admittance in the IC. - Parental informed consent before ECMO obtained by using the short patient information letter (PIF no. 1; see Ch. 8.2 research protocol) and parental informed consent obtained within 24h after ECMO start obtained by using the regular PIF (PIF no. 2; see Ch. 8.2 research protocol) -Patients in group 2 will be matched 1 on 1 to patients in group 1 for gender and age (± 6 months);Group 3: - Term patients admitted to the IC of Erasmus MC-Sophia in need of RBC transfusion after surgery (e.g. patients after craniofacial surgery, patients after cardiac surgery) - Parental informed consent - Patients in group 3 will be matched 1 on 1 to patients in group 1 for gender and age (± 1 month)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Group 1 & 2: - Age * 18 years - Rapid response ECMO outside the IC of Erasmus MC-Sophia - Transfer on ECMO to the IC of Erasmus MC-Sophia (including the dept. of thoracic surgery of Erasmus MC-Sophia) - Unsuccessful cannulation and/or inability to generate sufficient blood flow - ECMO exclusion criteria (e.g. weight
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoint is (*) microcirculatory perfusion (defined by the parameters PVD & MFI) at 2h and at 24h after ECMO cannulation. This will be evaluated for VA-ECMO and VV-ECMO patients separately. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - (*) Microcirculatory perfusion (defined by the parameters PVD & MFI) at D1-D6 in VA-ECMO patients as compared to (*) microcirculatory perfusion at D1-D6 in VV-ECMO patients. - (*) Microcirculatory perfusion (defined by the parameters PVD & MFI) at 12h before and at 12h and 24h after ECMO decannulation. This will be evaluated for VA-ECMO and VV-ECMO patients separately. - The incidence of mortality within the first 28 days after (decannulation of) ECMO - (*) Microcirculatory perfusion (defined by the parameters PVD & MFI) in VA-ECMO patients during ECMO flow class I (flow * 50 ml/kg/min), ECMO flow class II (50 ml/kg/min | — |
