Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Patients Supported by VA-ECMO

Risk Factors and Prognosis of Acute Kidney Injury in Peri Operative Cardiac Surgery Adult Patients Supported by VA-ECMO

Post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) occurs in 2-6% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and 1% of cardiac surgery patients will require mechanical circulatory support using Veno-Arterial ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Acute Kidney Injury is a frequent complication in this population and negatively impacts the survival. We aimed to determine whether the timing of ECMO implantation influence the renal prognosis of these patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients admitted in post-operative of cardiac surgery
• Assisted by VA-ECMO

Exclusion Criteria:

• Chronic hemodialysis
• Death occurring within the first 48 hours of VA-ECMO implantation
• Multiple VA-ECMO during the same hospitalization.
