Official title
Prognostic Factors for 90-day Mortality in Patients Undergoing Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Emergency Thoracic Surgery
Overview
Veno-vneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is an established support strategy for acute respiratory failure, but its role in the perioperative management of emergency thoracic surgery remains poorly defined. This retrospective, multicenter, observational study aims to assess the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in this high-risk population. Patients undergoing emergency thoracic procedures requiring VV-ECMO will be compared to a control cohort of patients treated with VV-ECMO for medical respiratory failure. Data will be collected from two French academic centers (CHU Amiens-Picardie and CHU Dijon).
Primary outcome measures
- 90-day all-cause mortality [Time frame: 90 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- 90-day mortality in oncologic vs. non-oncologic thoracic surgery [Time frame: 90 days]
- Postoperative complication rates [Time frame: 90 days]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
