Effect of Reduced Vasopressors on Mortality in ECMO-supported Cardiogenic Shock Patients

Association Between Vasopressor Exposure Levels and 30-Day Mortality in Patients Receiving ECMO Support for Cardiogenic Shock: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study


Sponsor

Enrollment

534 participants

Start Date

Feb 26, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the association between vasopressor exposure levels and outcomes in adults with cardiogenic shock receiving VA-ECMO. The main question it aims to answer is: Does reduced exposure to vasopressors lower the 30-day mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock when receiving ECMO support? Participants who are receiving ECMO support for cardiogenic shock as part of their regular medical care will have their data collected, including information about their vasopressor use and mortality outcomes, over the course of the study.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at whether using lower doses of vasopressor medicines (drugs that raise blood pressure) in patients on a heart-lung bypass machine called VA-ECMO during severe cardiogenic shock (when the heart is too weak to pump blood) reduces the risk of death. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have cardiogenic shock (heart unable to pump enough blood) requiring VA-ECMO support - This is your first time on ECMO - You are on venoarterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) as the initial support mode **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 years old - You have severe pulmonary hypertension (high pressure in the lung arteries) - You are on vasopressors for reasons other than cardiogenic shock - There is a significant amount of missing medical data Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERVasopressor Exposure Levels

This is an observational study with no active intervention. The study evaluates the association between natural variations in vasopressor exposure levels (measured by Vasoactive-Inotropic Score, VIS) and clinical outcomes in patients receiving VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock.
