Overview
ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is a life-saving device, used in intensive care to treat severe respiratory or cardiac failure. However, it carries a high risk of serious life-threatening bleeding. Bleeding complications have been attributed to coagulopathy triggered either by the underlying pathology or by the extracorporeal circuit itself, as well as excessive or inappropriate anticoagulation initiated to prevent thrombotic complications. The objective of this cohort is to confirm the interest of the evolution of D-dimers as a prognostic marker of serious bleeding events in patients on veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) ECMO, and to determine the threshold.
Interventions
- Other Blood sampling collection
Collection of an additional of 2.7mL citrate tube of blood for a D-dimer dosage.
Primary outcome measures
- To determine the most discriminating 24-hour D-Dimer increase threshold for predicting a serious bleeding event under ECMO within 24 hours of D-Dimer increase [Time frame: 1 month]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- To estimate the predictive performance of the 24-hour increase in D-dimer in the occurrence of a serious bleeding event on ECMO within 24 hours. [Time frame: 1 month]
- To estimate the predictive performance of the 24-hour increase in D-dimer in the occurrence of a serious bleeding event on ECMO within 24 hours. [Time frame: 1 month]
- To estimate the predictive performance of the 24-hour increase in D-dimer in the occurrence of a serious bleeding event on ECMO within 24 hours. [Time frame: 1 month]
- To estimate the predictive performance of the 24-hour increase in D-dimer in the occurrence of a serious bleeding event on ECMO within 24 hours. [Time frame: 1 month]
- To estimate the predictive performance of the 24-hour increase in D-dimer in the occurrence of a serious bleeding event on ECMO within 24 hours. [Time frame: 1 month]
- To estimate the incidence of bleeding and thrombotic complications on ECMO on day 10 [Time frame: 1 month]
- To estimate the incidence of bleeding and thrombotic complications on ECMO on day 10 [Time frame: 1 month]
