Extra-corporeal therapies in Resp Failure
@CarolynCalfee

- Phenotypes in ARDS
Many phenotypes in ARDS: severity of ARDS, aetiology,
- physiologic
- does any of this response to differently to ECMO?
#LIVES2022
#ventilation
#extracorpreal @ESICM
@CarolynCalfee @ESICM Severe ARDS phenotypes EOLIA using P/F ratio
- within 1st 7 days
- within this, which pt benefits most.

Meta-analysis on ECMO patients

- multiple subgroups but none of them statistically significant
- only key difference is No of organ failure . >2 ecmo less likely to work
@CarolynCalfee @ESICM so how about ECCO2R?
- if benefit drives from decreasing lung injury
- then high dead space or low compliance patients could be benficial
- Goligher AJRCCM 2017

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28636403/
- physiologic modelling seems to work
- what about in trial : SUPERNOVA trial.
@CarolynCalfee @ESICM patient with lowest compliance associated with largest change in delta P on ECCOR

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30790030/
Then comes REST trial

- low TV + ECCOR vs. conventional low TV
-early acute resp failure
stopped early for futility
- no difference based on ARDS, severity
- ECCOR has higher mortality. no effects in subgroups based on compliance.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34463700/
Why does REST trial not work ?

- not sure
- may be off-target effects and risks
- patient not all ARDS , P/F <150.

So now what about COVID 19 ards?
- repeatedly asked this questions at many icm meetings.
- older age, later stage of pandemic, steroids ~ poor outcomes.
Target Trial Emulation n = 7345 , observation data "emulated" as RCT
- 1': ECMO for all pts with PF<80
would have reduced mortality
What about if we use delta P as indication for ECMO
- if delta p > 15 + ECMO, then likely significant benefit.
ECMO most effective in young, obese, when started early.
NOTE : not an RCT data and emulation data.
On this note re:COVID 19 phenotypes

work by @drjzhn and Luigi C's team

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33487454/

3 phenotypes : hypoinflammatory has lowest mortality
- need external validation but potential biological heterogeneity
@drjzhn Biological phenotypes
- v little data on biological phenotypes
- biological phenotypes defined in "typical " ARDS
- e.g., hyper v hypoinflammatory phenotypes
- have differential responses to steroids, fluids, simvastatin
- what about ECMO ?
thelancet.com/series/ARDS-20…
@drjzhn pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31385880/

- observational tudy of 16 pts severe ARDS on ECMO
- switch from LTVV to ultra protective ventilation at 3ml/kg
- biomarkers change
-jury is still out but fascinating
@drjzhn Now 2' analysis of ARMA trial
- HIGH plasma RAGE
- LTVV most effective in high sRAGE patients.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31385880/
@drjzhn Might hyper-inflammatory phenotype benefit from ECMO/ECCO2R
- MIGHT is key word.
- need larger studies with extensive clinical data set and bio-repositories.
- what we know definitively : early very severe ARDS benefits most in younger, high driving pressure, obese pts
@drjzhn Essentially we would need a prospectively collected bio-marker repository and a large sample to answer this questions -- aka likely difficult. Private sector working on biomarekers but not sure performance in bedside.

Carolyn Calfee Clinical and Biological phenotypes of ARDS
- what do they have in common?

ARDS : subgrouping since the begining
- sepsis vs. non sepsis
- hyper vs. hypoinflamm
- reactive vs uninflamed
#ventilation #ards #phenotypes #LIVES2022
Are clinical phenotypes biologically distinct?
looking at Trauma vs. Non trauma

ICAM-1 , SP-D, vWF, sTNFr-1 are different.
What about in "Direct" vs. "indirect"
or "Diffuse" vs "focal" -- sRAGE comes up again.

"Do we Need a biological definition of ARDS"

- Berlin definition has NO Diffuse alveolar damage .
- the Berlin defn does not capture well
Frohlich - different definitions specificity of 0.63, 0.42, 0.31 even!

ARDS - new definition or phenotypes by @GicoBellani refreshing with Kigali definition of ARDS - useful not just low resource but during pandemic in supposedly high income settings and only draw back is no PEEp requirement #ards #ventilation #LIVES2022 @ESICM
@GicoBellani @ESICM Resolved versus confirmed ARDS
- prospectively applying Berlin definition did work but if ya wait 24 hrs and re-measure P/F ratio, you end up stratifying much better.
- Better separation of groups

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29632996/
#ventilation #LIVES2022
@GicoBellani @ESICM Whichever definition - american european consensus or Berlin or Kigali -- all goes back to Ashbaugh original paper in 1967

thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Why are we so confused when it comes to ARDS definition ?

Next : Mypinder SEKHON on cardiac arrest in COVID-19 era.

Works in Vancouver
COVID 19 era cardiac arrest ARE a lot less sexy with all the PPE. #als #covid19 #resuscitation #LIVES2022
@ESICM
@ESICM Let's look at epidemiology. Northern Italy, Manhattan - COVID hit hard and has impact on other diseases.

e.g., OHCA in Italy during COVID 19 massive spike.

NEXT Speaker : VA ecmo for which patients?
Alain COMBES

Severe cardiogenic shock has different phenotypes
1. medical cardiogenic shock(AMI, end stage dilated CM, myocarditis, septic shock)
2. Post cardiotomy refractory CS (post CABG)
#LIVES2022
@ESICM #ecmo #resuscitation #ALS
@ESICM 2022 what do the guidelines say
- ESC recommends short term MCS should be considred in cardiogenic shock.
IABP may be considered but not routinely recommended in post MI

what about in refractory cardiac arrest?
ERC - ESICM guidelines 2021
- timing of CAG if no evidence ofr ST segment evaluation.

which means we will end up treating a lot of patients with stent and anticoagulation
TOMAHAWK trial : delayed or early invasive angiography -- no effec.

#LIVES2022
- immediate catheterisation for non ST elevationrr
