| description | OBJECTIVES:. To investigate the effect of a restrictive blood product utilization protocol on blood product utilization and clinical outcomes.
DESIGN:. We retrospectively reviewed all adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients from January 2019 to December 2021. The restrictive protocol, implemented in March 2020, was defined as transfusion of blood products for a hemoglobin level less than 7, platelet levels less than 50, and/or fibrinogen levels less than 100. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the mode of ECMO received: venoarterial ECMO, venovenous ECMO, and ECMO support following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).
SETTING:. M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center.
PATIENTS:. The study included 507 patients.
INTERVENTIONS:. One hundred fifty-one patients (29.9%) were placed on venoarterial ECMO, 70 (13.8%) on venovenous ECMO, and 286 (56.4%) on ECPR.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:. For patients on venoarterial ECMO (48 [71.6%] vs. 52 [63.4%]; p = 0.374), venovenous ECMO (23 [63.9%] vs. 15 [45.5%]; p = 0.195), and ECPR (54 [50.0%] vs. 69 [39.2%]; p = 0.097), there were no significant differences in survival on ECMO. The last recorded mean hemoglobin value was also significantly decreased for venoarterial ECMO (8.10 [7.80–8.50] vs. 7.50 [7.15–8.25]; p = 0.001) and ECPR (8.20 [7.90–8.60] vs. 7.55 [7.10–8.88]; p < 0.001) following implementation of the restrictive transfusion protocol.
CONCLUSIONS:. These data suggest that a restrictive transfusion protocol is noninferior to ECMO patient survival. Additional, prospective randomized trials are required for further investigation of the safety of a restrictive transfusion protocol. |
