intravenous uid and blood resuscitation catch-up with hemorrhage-induced intravascular volume loss. REBOA is most effective when deployed while the heart is still beating well and there is a discernible arterial blood pressure. When patients become bradycardic and lose measurable blood pres­sure, this is a state of impending cardiac arrest. REBOA can be effective at this point but only if the heart continues to beat and intravenous blood transfusion rapidly corrects the volume and perfusion decit. Traditionally, this is the point at which resuscitative thoracotomy is either performed, or at least considered, before cessation of resuscitation efforts.

SAAP infu- sion results in return of electrocardiographic activity and spontaneous cardiac contractility with measurable arterial pressure while the peri- cardial tamponade remains. The central aortic pressure progressively increases with removal of the pericardial tamponade blood in 50 mL increments. Right atrial pressure drops with relief of the pericardial tamponade.

(functional aortic cross-clamp), extracorporeal perfusion with exogenous oxygen carrier (more effective than manual cardiac compression), and rapid intravascular volume replacement (equivalent to or better than intravenous infusion) provided for by the SAAP technique can serve to promote ROSC with­out the need for a thoracotomy and bridge survival until the patient can be transferred to the operating theater for denitive hemorrhage control. Therefore, in the setting of hemorrhage­induced cardiac arrest, SAAP is an intervention between REBOA and resuscitative thoracotomy that can potentially achieve ROSC and obviate the need for thoracotomy.
In medical cardiac arrest, the potential role of SAAP lies between standard resuscitation therapies of the present day, the foundation of which is closed-chest CPR, and the implementation of VA-ECLS during cardiac arrest or ECPR. A proportion of medical cardiac arrest victims can be resus­citated with closed-chest CPR and debrillation, if bystander CPR is initiated without delay and an automated debril­lator is nearby and used appropriately. However, these two conditions are infrequently met. Delays in CPR and debril­lation lead to decreased effectiveness of CPR and degraded electrical energy, respectively, that result in preventable deaths just as uncontrolled hemorrhage with severe hypo­perfusion does in trauma. VA-ECLS/ECPR provides extra­corporeal perfusion that can effectively reverse the ischemic debt that occurs during cardiac arrest and lead to ROSC and long-term survival. Clinical reports are very promising with remarkably high survival with good neurological recovery in the patients that meet criteria for ECPR.
An important aspect of VA-ECLS is that once a patient has been cannulated during cardiac arrest for ECPR and had achieved ROSC, the patient remains on VA-ECLS. The duration of VA-ECLS support after ROSC is typically several days. In general, VA-ECLS is not an intervention that can be quickly discontinued. It usually requires surgical decannu­lation and vascular repair in an operating theater. Although some resuscitated patients need ongoing perfusion support post-ROSC, some do not. This issue is faced when trying to determine the appropriate criteria for committing the resources required to perform VA-ECLS/ECPR. In some sys­tems, standard therapy is continued for 20 minutes before the patient is considered for VA-ECLS/ECPR in an effort to avoid overutilization. There is a tension between waiting too long to initiate VA-ECLS/ECPR and overutilization without any clear parameters to distinguish the appropriate choice.
Temporary heart and brain perfusion during cardiac arrest may be adequate to achieve ROSC and promote long­term survival without the need for prolonged ECLS support. This is the niche that SAAP is designed to ll. The sequence of SAAP interventions previously described could be initi­ated early in resuscitation after initial CPR and debrillation have failed without committing to prolonged ECLS support. If ROSC is achieved and the patient is hemodynamically sta­ble post-ROSC, SAAP can be withdrawn rapidly. However, if the patient’s condition shows a need for ongoing ECLS support, SAAP interventions can be used to provide bridg­ing support until cannulation for VA-ECLS can be accom­plished. Thus, SAAP in medical cardiac arrest may promote ROSC and favorable neurological recovery without commit­ting patients to extended ECLS support post-ROSC. However, if ongoing ECLS support is needed, SAAP serves as a bridge
to ECMO. Therefore, in the setting of medical cardiac arrest, SAAP is an intervention between closed-chest CPR and VA-ECLS that can potentially achieve ROSC and prevent unnecessary prolonged ECLS support.
Implications for Trauma and Vascular Surgery
The emergence of endovascular resuscitation in both medi­cal cardiac arrest and severe hemorrhagic shock will lead to many more emergency vascular access procedures being performed under time pressure in suboptimal conditions. This reality can be expected to result in a growing number of vascular access–related and endovascular resuscitation intervention–related complications that will require the expertise and care of vascular surgeons. It is unrealistic to think that these time-critical endovascular resuscitation pro­cedures will be performed by vascular surgeons. Indeed, the vast majority will not be performed by vascular surgeons and it is likely that many of these procedures will be performed by non-surgeons. For example, prehospital ECMO cannulations in Paris for ECPR and prehospital REBOA catheterizations in London for uncontrolled hemorrhage are performed by pre­hospital emergency physicians. In the United States, emer­gency department cannulations for ECPR are performed by emergency physicians in some hospitals.
The positive approach to the emerging endovascular resuscitation era is to foster collaboration between resuscita­tion physicians who will be performing these interventions and vascular surgeons who may be involved in training and will likely manage complications. The active involvement of vascular surgeons in vascular access training, procedure protocols, and case reviews will serve to improve care and limit vascular complications for these endovascular resus­citation interventions. It should be kept in mind that these interventions are an effort to save the lives of patients who presently almost invariably die. Success in this arena will be a major advance in resuscitation medicine, one that may impact us personally someday.
Summary
SAAP has been developed over three decades of large animal laboratory research as an advanced endovascular resusci­tation technique aimed at transforming the survivability of both medical cardiac arrest and hemorrhage-induced cardiac arrest. SAAP is presently being advanced toward clinical trials and implementation. During the develop­ment of SAAP, endovascular resuscitation technology has signicantly advanced, which has both helped to under­stand the need for this innovation and made it important to dene how SAAP segues with other interventions. The use of escalating SAAP modalities complements REBOA, VA-ECLS/ECPR, and EPR by providing a logical step-wise approach that assists with clinical decision-making while reducing the potential risks to the patient of endovascular intervention by only delivering the least invasive interven­tion required for survival in a timely fashion.

Endovascular to Extracorporeal Organ Support for Vascular Trauma and Shock
KEVIN K. CHUNG, ANDRIY I. BATCHINSKY, and IAN J. STEWART
Introduction
Mechanical trauma to major arteries often leads to signi­cant vascular compromise to large tissue beds which then results in the reduction in oxygen delivery, cellular dysoxia, and cell death. This occurs in varying degrees, depending on the robustness of collateral blood ow to every anatomic region and organ in the body (e.g., muscle, kidney, lungs, liver, intestines, etc.). Regardless, it has been well docu­mented that the degree and extent of tissue injury directly correlates with the duration of the ischemic insult. arterial vessels are repaired and blood ow is restored via a variety of open and endovascular techniques described in chapters throughout this textbook, varying degrees of metabolic and end-organ consequences can be expected and are widely characterized as “ischemia-reperfusion”

injury. results in profound metabolic and inammatory derange­ments secondary to the release and circulation of cellular contents. This often is compounded by concomitant direct tissue injury, such as blunt force injury or crush, which can augment the metabolic derangement several fold. Glob­ally, the dysregulated immune-inammatory cascade that ensues can trigger a distributive shock characterized by capillary leak, hemodynamic instability, coagulopathy, and end-organ failure (Fig. 14.1). Recent disruptive advances in the eld of vascular surgery in the form of endovascular occlusion techniques for hemorrhage control and a variety of endovascular repair options have pushed the physiologi­cal limits of what is humanly possible to sustain life after severe injury. As such, an increasing number of severely injured patients are surviving longer into the hospitaliza­tion and are more metabolically deranged than ever with varying degrees of end-organ injury.6 Fortunately, the eld of critical care has experienced an equally formidable leap in medical innovation in the form of various extracorporeal organ support technologies.6 This chapter will review the latest advances and techniques to assist vascular trauma specialists in the management of metabolic derangements and organ failure, with a focus on renal and lung support.

Advances in Renal Support
Over the last three decades, major advancements have been made in renal replacement therapy (RRT). The early 1990s saw the rst generation of continuous RRT (CRRT)
devices.7 These machines were based on technology from chronic dialysis, but were a major advance from prior CRRT therapies that relied on an assortment of pumps and dialyz­ers that were not an integrated unit.7 This was followed by machines designed for the care of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), such as the PRISMAFLEX (Bax­ter International, Deereld, IL), and the NxStage System One (NxStage Medical Inc., Lawrence, MA). These devices were relatively simple to set-up and maintain, leading to widespread adoption of the technology. Another major advancement was the clarication of the proper “dose” of RRT in the setting of AKI in two, large randomized con­trolled trials (RCTs) involving a mixed critically ill popula-
8,9
tion.
Based on these data, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines recommends a mini­mum dose of 20 to 25 mL/kg per hour with CRRT therapy.
There are three major modalities of RRT used to treat patients with AKI: intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), CRRT, and slow low-efciency dialysis (SLED). Prior to discussing the nuances between the modes of RRT, an explanation of how clearance is achieved is important. The rst method by which the blood is cleared is by diffusion, or hemodialysis.11 With diffusion, the blood and dialysate are separated in a hollow ber dialyzer by a semipermeable membrane. The difference in concentration of a particular solute between the two compartments drives clearance and manages meta­bolic disturbances. For example, patients with ischemia­reperfusion injury often have hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis. Compared to the blood, the dialysate is low in potassium. Therefore, potassium goes down its concentra­tion gradient from the blood into the dialysate and is thus cleared from the body. Conversely, the dialysate has a rela­tively high concentration of bicarbonate compared to the blood. This results in a net transfer from the dialysate to the blood, which improves acid-base status. The second method of clearance in RRT is convection, or hemoltration.11 With this method of clearance, there is no dialysate. Instead, the semipermeable membrane is used only to remove uid and electrolytes from the blood. Separately, a replacement uid is infused into the blood line. Similar to dialysate, the replacement uid is low in concentration of things that need to be removed (e.g., potassium) and high in concentration of things that need to be added (e.g., bicarbonate).
The rst type of RRT used to treat patients with AKI is IHD which primarily uses hemodialysis or diffusive clearance. This method utilizes machines that are designed for use in patients with end-stage renal disease and are on chronic

Fig. 14.1 Anatomic schematic representing the cascade of events that occurs during an ischemia reperfusion insult. Ischemia results in cellular dysoxia which leads to cell death and the local release of intracellular enzymes, inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines into the local tissue. Upon reperfusion of the tissue bed, the compilation of the enzymes is released into the systemic circulation resulting in direct and indirect inflammatory injuries to vari­ous organs including the kidneys, heart, lungs, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. This ultimately leads to end-organ failure that can occur in isolation or in combination. lactate dehydrogenase;
RRT. With IHD, dialysate is made using concentrated elec­trolyte solutions and tap water that has been thoroughly processed and puried.12 The second type of RRT is CRRT, which can be subdivided into continuous veno­venous hemoltration (CVVH), continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD), and continuous veno-venous hemodialtration (CVVHDF).13 These techniques utilize devices that were designed to be used in critically ill patients with AKI. The primary difference between the modes of CRRT is the method of clearance that is employed. CVVH uses replacement uid for convective clearance (hemoltration), whereas CVVHD uses dialysate for diffusive clearance (hemodialysis). CVVHDF is a combination therapy that uses both convective and diffusive clearance (hemodialtration). CVVH, CVVHD, and CVVHDF are all dosed relative to the patient’s body weight, and prescribed in mL/kg per hour. As noted previously, the recommended minimum dose is 20

to 25 mL/kg per hour.14 For example, the proper dose for a 70-kg patient would be 1400 to 1750 mL/hour of replace­ment uid (if using CVVH), dialysate (if using CVVHD), or a combination of the two (if using CVVHDF). The primary difference between CRRT and IHD is time and clearance. IHD typically lasts 3 to 4 hours, requiring a large amount of clearance over that time period to meet the patient’s meta­bolic demand. Conversely, CRRT runs continuously, allow­ing time for much slower clearance. In contrast to IHD, which generates dialysis using tap water and concentrated electrolyte solutions, CRRT therapies utilize prepackaged sterile solutions for dialysate or replacement uid.
The third type of RRT used to treat AKI is SLED. SLED is also sometimes referred to in the literature as pro­longed intermittent RRT or extended daily dialysis. SLED uses standard IHD machines, but operates at lower blood and dialysate ow rates. Whereas a typical IHD session has

blood and dialysate ow rates of 200 to 400 and 400 to 700 mL/min, respectively, SLED treatments have dialysate and blood ows of 100 to 200 mL/min. Although most SLED treatments last 8 hours, sessions lasting 24 hours have been described.17 The major advantage of SLED is that because it leverages traditional IHD, it is relatively easy to institute in hospitals that do not have sufcient patient volume for formal CRRT programs. However, there are some concerns regarding SLED when compared to CRRT and IHD. The rst is electrolyte disturbances, particularly hypophosphatemia, which can make it difcult to wean patients from mechani­cal ventilation.18 The second is that the optimal dosing of antibiotics is unclear, especially when SLED treatments are longer than 8 hours.
19
There are two theoretical benets to CRRT over IHD in hemodynamically unstable patients. The rst is the slower rate of volume removal. As noted previously, an IHD ses­sion typically lasts 3 to 4 hours. Over this relatively short period of time, the entire amount of uid prescribed to be removed that day must be taken off the patient. As CRRT can remove the required volume over a 24-hour period, the rate at which volume is removed is lower. For example, if 3 L must be removed, the hourly rate would be 750 mL with a 4-hour IHD treatment. With a 24-hour CRRT treat­ment, the hourly rate would be much lower at 125 mL. This reduced hourly rate is postulated to improve hemodynamic stability. A second theoretical benet to CRRT over IHD in hemodynamically unstable patients is the slower rate of clearance. The high clearances of IHD result in a decrease of plasma osmolality.20 When this occurs, an osmotic gra­dient is established between the intravascular space and the extra vascular space, drawing water into the extra­vascular compartment. This reduces blood volume and may adversely impact hemodynamics. Another situation where the slow clearance of CRRT can be advantageous is for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). In patients with TBI, the osmotic shifts involved with the greater clearance of solute with IHD can result in increased intracranial pressure and cerebral edema.21 Although solute is removed quickly from the intravascular space with IHD, there is a lag before it can re-equilibrate across the blood-brain barrier, resulting in the intracranial compartment having a higher osmolarity than the vascular compartment. This concen tration gradient results in the transfer of water to the intracranial compartment via osmosis.22 The slower clearances provided by CRRT minimize this gradient and may decrease cerebral edema.
23
Despite these theoretical benets, the results from obser­vational and clinical trials have been mixed. A recent metaanalysis of 21 studies (16 comparing CRRT with IHD and 5 comparing CRRT with SLED) did not demonstrate a difference between the modalities in terms of mortality, dialysis dependence, or length of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.24 In contrast, a previous metaanalysis of 23 studies found that IHD was associated with higher rates of dialysis dependence than CRRT.25 These results were largely driven by the results from the 16 observational stud­ies. The seven RCTs did not demonstrate a signicant ben­et to CRRT. However, the total number of patients in the RCTs was small (N = 240 for IHD and N = 232 for CRRT). Despite this paucity of evidence, current opinion in the eld is that CRRT is the preferred modality for hemodynamically
unstable patients, whereas IHD is the preferred modality for hemodynamically stable patients.

The timing of RRT is controversial in the nephrology and critical care elds. Early observational evidence was mixed due primarily to different denitions of “early.” One study did not nd a difference on timing of RRT when early was dened by blood urea nitrogen concentration, but found that when RRT was started within 2 days of ICU admission there was an association with lower mortality compared with patients who started RRT after ICU day 5.26 Similar ndings were observed in another retrospective cohort, in which a lower risk of mortality was present when RRT was initiated within 24 hours of the diagnosis of severe AKI.27 This study found that early RRT was asso­ciated with decreased days on mechanical ventilation and less time on RRT.
27
Recently, three RCTs have examined the optimal timing of RRT. The rst of these was the Articial Kidney Initiation in Kidney Injury (AKIKI) trial.28 The AKIKI trial random­ized 620 subjects with severe AKI to early (within 6 hours) or late (when the subject developed metabolic disturbances, pulmonary edema, or oliguria) RRT. There was no differ­ence in the primary end point of 60-day mortality. The second study was the Effect of Early vs Delayed Initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy on Mortality in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury (ELAIN) trial.29 The ELAIN trial was a single center study of 231 patients with moderate AKI and an elevated plasma neutrophil gelatin­ase-associated lipocalin (a biomarker for AKI). Early was dened as initiating RRT within 8 hours of moderate AKI and late as initiating RRT within 12 hours of severe AKI. In contrast to the AKIKI study, ELAIN found a decrease in mor­tality when RRT was initiated early. The third study was the Initiation of Dialysis Early Versus Delayed in the Intensive Care Unit (IDEAL-ICU).30 This multicenter trial randomized 488 patients with severe AKI to an early strategy (within 12 hours) or a late strategy (after a delay of 48 hours if the patient did not recover renal function). Similar to the AKIKI study, the IDEAL-ICU trial did not nd a difference in mortality between the two arms. Although there is another large multicenter trial ongoing,
31,32
the preponderance of evidence currently points against the generalizability of an early approach. However, it is important to note that the only trial to show a benet (ELAIN) started RRT much earlier than either the AKIKI study or the IDEAL-ICU study. Furthermore, ELAIN involved mostly surgical patients and included a novel biomarker to risk-stratify patients. It is therefore possible that some patients could benet from an early initiation strategy, especially when a biomarker is used to stratify patients.
A variety of other extracorporeal treatment techniques have been examined in an effort to improve mortality in critically injured and ill patients with AKI. One of these is high-volume hemoltration (HVHF). There is some evi­dence from small studies that HVHF improves surrogate outcomes. For example, HVHF has been demonstrated to decrease vasopressor dependency index and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome score in critically ill patients with burn injury.33 In the largest RCT done to date in 140 critically ill patients, no difference was observed in 28-day mortality or hemodynamic proles.14 What is clear is that this technique is relatively well-tolerated. Thus, in

select patients with profound metabolic derangements being treated with CVVH, increasing the dose of therapy to achieve metabolic control seems reasonable and should be requested.
Since the early 2000s, CRRT has gained widespread acceptance and has saved countless lives. Despite these advances, the mortality rate of injured patients with AKI requiring RRT is high at 40% to 67%.
34–36
Early initiation or HVHF may have benet in postsurgical patients with pro­found metabolic derangements. However, the effect sizes are likely to be small and these are difcult to generalize. RRT will always have a role in the management of elec­trolyte disturbances and volume overload; however, future advances in patient care will need to couple it with support to other organs (such as extracorporeal membrane oxygen­ation [ECMO]) and other forms of blood purication tar­geted at immune-modulation and pathogen removal.
Advances in Lung Support
Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are well-recognized problems following vascular trauma and shock. In the United States, 200,000 patients develop ARDS each year and it is anticipated that, by 2025, 300,000 cases will be seen per year.37 The causes of ARDS are varied and classically include pneumonia, sepsis, inhalation injury, thermal injury, chemical exposure, and iatrogenesis in the form of overzealous mechanical venti­lation and over exuberant uid resuscitation. trauma, particularly, military unique trauma such as vascular trauma with shock, burns, blast injury,40 chemical weapons,41 and the medical care rendered to treat these injuries

also are common causes of ARDS. Although the precise molecular mechanism that initiates ARDS remains enigmatic, the shared phenomenon of intense inammation among these causes of ARDS is compelling. For this reason it is not surprising that ischemia-reperfusion injuries also produce ARDS. Unfortunately, despite decades of research and numerous clinical trials, the reported mortality for ARDS remains high, ranging from 11% to 44%.
At present, mechanical ventilation is the standard sup­portive intervention for ARDS and is highly effective in most patients with mild ARDS. However, as the severity of injury increases, lung function decreases. This is evidenced clinically by impairment of oxygenation, ventilation, and reductions in lung compliance. These changes often prompt increases in ventilator pressures and/or volumes which, in turn, place the patient at risk for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).45 Also referred to as barotrauma or volu­trauma, this mechanical insult is the result of increased ventilator volumes and pressures delivered to a poorly com­pliant lung. This overstretching of the lung parenchyma provokes activation of the inammatory cascade and leads to multisystem organ failure.
46–48
Typically, early treatment of ARDS is focused on prevent­ing VILI and was the focus of the landmark ARDSNet trial. ARDSNet demonstrated that reduction in ventilator set­tings to a VT of 6 mL/kg of ideal body weight (IBW) and a maximum end-inspiratory plateau pressure (P H2O was able to decrease mortality to 31%, compared with 39.8% in the conventional arm treated with a VT of

12 mL/kg IBW.49 This strategy, known as lung-protective ventilation, has become an important tool for treating ARDS, but it has not been a panacea. Studies have shown that despite using the ARDSNet strategy, lung hyperination, and thus VILI, still occur in approximately 30% of patients.50 Furthermore, for patients in whom a lung-protective strat­egy is implemented, second-order consequences such as hypoventilation, hypercarbia, and acidosis often complicate management. This is particularly challenging in severely injured trauma patients, acute or chronic renal failure, con­comitant brain injury, and in those with severe cardiovas­cular or peripheral vascular disease.
51
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for adult lung failure has become an increasingly valuable tool for the clinical management of ARDS. In a practical sense, the role of ECMO off-loads the lungs and spares pulmonary parenchyma from exposure to VILI. As they apply to treatment of lung failure and ARDS, the terms ECMO and ECLS are interchangeable. Currently, ECMO is used to extend survival by providing for both oxygenation and carbon dioxide clearance in critically ill patients who have failed to improve on less invasive tech­niques such as ARDSNet strategies. Ultimately, the goal of ECMO is to provide adequate time for the underlying clinical condition to be resolved and, consequently, allow the ARDS­inciting inammatory insult to abate.
Functionally, ECMO is a miniaturized form of cardio­pulmonary bypass. Although there are multiple modes of ECMO, all modes require cannulation of major vascular structures, by either open or percutaneous means. Large 23- to 32-Fr catheters drain circulating blood into an extracorporeal circuit and an articial membrane lung which carries out gas exchange (delivers O2 and removes CO2). Following gas exchange, oxygenated blood is returned to the body via a return circuit. The most common modes of ECMO are venovenous (VV) ECLS and venoarterial (VA) ECLS. Although both techniques rely on the use of an exchange membrane, VV ECLS returns the oxygenated blood to the venous circulation, whereas VA ECLS returns oxygenated blood to the arterial circulation.
52,53
The major­ity of ECMO circuits augment ow with a centrifugal pump and heat the returning blood with an integral heating ele­ment.
Use of ECMO was shown to be benecial in adult trauma victims as early as 197254 but subsequently received nega­tive publicity after clinical trials from 1980 to 1990 showed poor outcomes.
55,56
Criticisms of the early ECLS stem largely from an inadequate appreciation of interactions between the mechanical ventilation and ECLS, and an inadequate reduction of mechanical ventilation settings which con­tributed to iatrogenic VILI that likely increased mortal­ity. Furthermore, modern ECMO circuits avoid the use of silicone-based membrane lungs and long, cumbersome circuits made of biologically unfriendly polymers. These technological differences led to unsustainable management challenges such as transfusion of 1 to 2 L of blood and blood products per patient per day in the early clinical studies.57 Whereas the blood losses alone could explain the adverse outcomes observed in the early studies, ECMO patients were also subjected to iatrogenic VILI and exposed to a high risk of transfusion-related lung injury (TRALI).
42,58
Today these complications are largely avoided with modern circuits. In fact, today’s ECLS systems bear little physical resemblance

to their nascent predecessors (Fig. 14.2) and are clinically separated by generations of technological advancement. Lastly, access-related bleeding complications and subse­quent transfusion-related coagulopathies in up to 70% of patients led to a staggering rate of cerebral hemorrhage as a cause of death.
55,56
For a combination of these reasons, ECLS before the year 2000 (and in some centers still to date) was often started too late and in patients who were older and sicker, making them unlikely to benet from therapy.
Although early ECMO trials raised concerns of its efcacy prior to the 2000s, more recent trials have supported the lifesaving capabilities of modern ECLS centers. Two promi­nent trials have since evaluated ECMO for lung support. The CESAR trial (conventional ventilatory support vs. extracor­poreal membrane oxygenation for severe adult respiratory failure)58 and the H1N1 trial.59 The H1N1 study was espe­cially important for the renaissance of ECLS, as providers were eager to initiate ECLS early when encountering ful­minant ARDS due to the H1N1 virus in otherwise healthy patients. Advancements in technology and increased user
experience have produced laudable improvements in out­comes for severely injured patients treated with ECLS.
52,58,59
Data from the ELSO registry shows that the number of ECMO cases performed annually is increasing (Fig. 14.3).59 At the same time reported survival has increased to 70% to 80% in patients with severe ARDS in whom mechanical ventilation was no longer effective.59 These improvements, interestingly, have occurred despite a continued bias favor­ing last-resort ECMO and are a direct reection of using bet­ter technology.
In trauma-induced ARDS, which is more analogous to vascular patients who have sustained shock and ischemia­reperfusion, similar improvements in outcomes have been reported.
60,61
In a review of ECLS for cardiopulmonary fail­ure in trauma from 1994 to 2015, survival to discharge ranged from 50% to 79%.62 These improvements in sur­vival have not gone unnoticed by those caring for the most severely ill and injured in whom multisystem organ failure is highly morbid and mortal. Evidence suggests combination therapy with renal support may continue trends toward

improved survival.

However, in chronically ill patients with vascular disease, tempered hopes may be warranted. Evidence from combat casualties shows an improved prob­ability of benet from ECMO relative to their civilian coun­terparts; a nding that is most likely attributable to their relative youth, normal baseline physiology, and minimal preexisting medical comorbidities.
64
Modern ECLS is also less invasive and more efcient in gas exchange than devices even one generation older. Per­cutaneous vascular access using 13- to 19-Fr catheters has become the preferred method of cannulation in spe­cialized ECLS centers and has broadened the appeal of ECMO initiation to nonsurgeon physicians.
58,65
Enhance­ments in efciency are owed to new highly exchange­permeable polymethylpentene (PMP)-based membrane lungs that more closely mimic the abilities of native lung. In the 2010s, the latest-generation mini-ECLS devices have been developed, based on reengineering of old tech­nology (Fig. 14.4). Although the functional principles are identical to ECMO, the logistical burden, safety, and efciency of the new-generation mini-ECLS devices are in a class of their own.
53,66–68
These simplied devices are comparable to existing bedside dialysis in both usability and invasiveness.
Simplication of the machinery has lowered the bar to early ECLS and expanded the settings where cannulation and initiation of ECMO is acceptable. More facile cannu­lation, portable mini-ECMO devices, lower access-related morbidity, and improved membrane lung efciency has led to availability, though admittedly not widespread, of ECLS in emergency departments, ICUs, and even in select prehos­pital and medical transport settings across the nation. In turn, the potential patient population who may benet from ECLS is increased and, consequently, the number of patients exposed to VILI-producing ventilator settings is reduced.
66,69
In fact, there is potential to avoid intubation altogether for select patients suffering exacerbations of CO2 retention.
Currently, at the cutting edge of ECLS technology are recently developed devices capable of partial ventilatory lung support. These devices provide extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R), function at dialysis-like low blood ows (350–500 mL/min), and now have CE approval for use in Europe.
68,69,71,72
To date, however, there are no ECCO2R devices approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ECCO2R is to be distinguished from full ECMO, which utilizes 23- to 32-Fr catheters and blood ows in the 2- to 7-L/min range. The primary role of the ECCO2R system is to remove CO2, which is why it is particularly suited for reduc­tion in mechanical ventilator settings during ARDS. To date, studies have shown that ECCO2R can be performed safely and effectively enabling low-tidal-volume ventilation, while preventing deleterious shifts in pH and PaCO2.
53,67
is also effective in reducing pulmonary artery pressure and reduces the work of the right heart in ARDS.73 ECCO2R is an effective way to control hypoventilation, hypercarbia, and acidosis, the main sequelae of the lung-protective ventila­tion in ARDS patients.66 ECCO2R has been used as a means to minimize, replace, and avoid the use of mechanical venti-

lation.
This new approach is important for mitigation of VILI as an increase in peak inspiratory pressure or in driving pressure (ΔP), even in patients receiving lung­protective ventilation. Conversely, unloading the lung by reducing mechanical ventilator settings and decreasing ΔP is associated with survival in ARDS.
75,76
Batchinsky et al. demonstrated the ability to reduce ventilator settings in healthy animals, an approach that is behind the “respiratory dialysis” concept for modern ECCO2R devices.
69,77
An example of this approach is the study by Terragni et al., who achieved control of ventilatory pressures, hyper­carbia, and pH in patients with mixed causes of ARDS.66 These authors studied two groups: (1) patients treated using ARDSNet ventilation alone, and (2) patients receiving both low-tidal-volume ventilation and ECCO2R as an adjunct. In group 2, Terragni et al. minimized ventilator settings using reductions of VT down to circa 4.2 mL/kg (below the ARDSNet-recommended 6 mL/kg). This resulted in an increase in PaCO2 and a concomitant decrease in pH in these patients, but permitted plateau pressures under 25 cm H2O, compared to 28 to 30 cm H2O in patients in group 1. Upon initiation of ECCO2R, the PaCO2 and pH were normalized, and patients had a lower level of circulating inammatory mediators.66 The Terragni study substantiates the concept that ECCO2R can be effectively used as adjunct to mechanical ventilation in humans with ARDS. Together with work from translational research laboratories, this lung protective strategy at dialysis-like invasiveness will be a promising new therapy in hospitals around the world.
69,74,78–80
Combining Techniques
As in many other critically ill or injured populations, the support of patients having sustained major vascular trauma continues to evolve. Extracorporeal organ support is rapidly culminating in an ability to support multiple failing organ systems at the same time.6 The ultimate goal of multior­gan support therapy would be to link all of these therapies

(RRT, blood purication, as well as lung and cardiovascular support) into one multifaceted intervention and delivery platform. Of note, the device used in the Terragni study combined a unique approach to multiorgan failure mitiga­tion in that it combined an ECCO2R and dialysis membranes in a single set up.66 This is fortuitous and likely more exter­nally valid among vascular patients whose complex patho­physiology often results in multiorgan failure which will most benet from a multiorgan support strategy. Combin­ing extracorporeal modalities in the management of mul­tiple organ failure is not new. RRT is already often combined with ECMO and recent reports have demonstrated that therapeutic plasma exchange and molecular adsorbent recirculating system may be helpful for acute liver support (i.e., a form of “liver dialysis”).
81,82
The concept of a multiorgan extracorporeal support platform is within reach and further advances in these technologies will push the physiologic limits of what is possible in efforts to save the lives of severely ill and injured patients.
