Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter/endpoint Primary efficacy endpoint: procedure success rate, defined as the successful insertion of both arterial and venous cannulas within 3 attempts and subsequent successful initiation of ECMO-flow Primary safety objective: is a composite of cannulation-associated adverse events during cannulation, during ECMO and after ECMO decannulation, including: o Vascular complications, defined as development of a false aneurysm, dissection, perforation or another type of vascular damage o Cannulation site bleeding and other major bleeding (BARC type 2 and above) o The development of limb ischemia requiring fasciotomy or amputation o Local infections, defined as a wound culture-proven infection o Systemic infections, defined as blood culture-proven infection | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints Separate analysis of the components of the composite endpoint: o Vascular complications, which is defined as the development of a false aneurysm, dissection, perforation or another type of vascular damage o Cannulation site bleeding and other major bleeding (BARC type 2 and above) o The development of limb ischemia requiring fasciotomy or amputation o Local infections, defined as a wound culture-proven infection o Systemic infections, defined as blood culture-proven infection As well as: - Thirty-day mortality - Cross-over rate due to failed cannulation - Procedure time, defined as time from first puncture/incision to the moment of ECMO-flow initiation - Number of attempts with successful puncture, but failure to advance the wire - Number of failed percutaneous attempts, defined as wire insertion without successful cannulation | — |
