Case Report: Correlation between pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and left-ventricular diastolic pressure during treatment with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

BackgroundPulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is often used as a surrogate for left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in patients (LVEDP) who are on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) support for cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. However, the correlation between...

description BackgroundPulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is often used as a surrogate for left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in patients (LVEDP) who are on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) support for cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. However, the correlation between PCWP and LVEDP is not clear in the setting of V-A ECMO usage. We sought to evaluate this correlation in this case series.MethodsPatients were referred to our cardiac catheterization laboratory for invasive hemodynamic studies to assess their readiness for VA-ECMO decannulation. All patients underwent simultaneous left and right heart catheterization. Using standard techniques, we measured PCWP and LVEDP simultaneously. Continuous variables were reported as medians with interquartile ranges. The correlation between PCWP and LVEDP was evaluated using simple linear regression and reported as R2.ResultsFour patients underwent invasive hemodynamic studies 4 (2.5, 7) days after VA-ECMO cannulation. All four patients had suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest and had been put on VA-ECMO. At the baseline level of VA-ECMO flow of 4.1 (3.8, 4.4) L/min, the median LVEDP and PCWP were 6 (4, 7.5) mmHg and 12 (6.5, 16) mmHg, respectively. At the lowest level of VA-ECMO flow of 1.9 (1.6, 2.0) L/min, the median LVEDP and PCWP was 13.5 (8.5, 16) mmHg and 15 (13, 18) mmHg, respectively. There was a poor correlation between the simultaneously measured PCWP and LVEDP (R2 = 0.03, p = 0.66).ConclusionsThe PCWP may not correlate well with LVEDP in patients treated with VA-ECMO, particularly at high levels of VA-ECMO support.
