PG - 1501-1507 LID - 10.1097/MAT.0000000000001699 [doi] AB - Acute brain injury (ABI) occurs frequently in patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). We examined the association between peri-cannulation arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO 2 ) and ABI with granular blood gas data. We retrospectively analyzed adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO at a tertiary care center with standardized neuromonitoring. Pre- and post-cannulation PaCO 2 were defined as the mean of all PaCO 2 values in the 12 hours before and after cannulation, respectively. Peri-cannulation PaCO 2 drop (∆PaCO 2 ) equaled pre- minus post-cannulation PaCO 2 . ABI included intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), ischemic stroke, hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, cerebral edema, seizure, and brain death. Univariable logistic regression analysis was performed for the presence of ABI. Out of 129 VA-ECMO patients (median age = 60, 63% male), 43 (33%) patients experienced ABI. Patients had a median of 11 (interquartile range: 8-14) peri-cannulation PaCO 2 values. Comparing patients with and without ABI, pre-cannulation (39 vs. 42 mm Hg; p = 0.38) and post-cannulation (37 vs. 36 mm Hg; p = 0.82) PaCO 2 were not different. However, higher pre-cannulation PaCO 2 (odds ratio [OR] = 2.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10-4.00; p = 0.02) and larger ∆PaCO 2 (OR = 2.69; 95% CI = 1.18-6.13; p = 0.02) were associated with ICH. In conclusion, in a cohort with granular arterial blood gas (ABG) data and a standardized neuromonitoring protocol, higher pre-cannulation PaCO 2 and larger ∆PaCO 2 were associated with increased prevalence of ICH.
