To William R. Lynch, MD, who built and nurtured an outstanding program, exhibited remarkable vision in how to advance ECLS care, and opened my eyes to its new possibilities.

Preface Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) consists of using an external gas-exchanging membrane to support oxygenation or carbon dioxide removal (or both), at times including circulatory assistance. ECLS has been used in severe hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARDS, pneumonia); diseases dominated by ventilatory failure such as status asthmaticus and COPD; cardiogenic shock; following cardiothoracic surgery complicated by circulatory or gas exchange failure; and as a bridge to lung transplant. Historically, ECLS has been used sparingly, often as a last resort, and in few centers with the requisite expertise. Three factors have combined to change this. First, technological improvements in membranes, pumps, circuits, and cannulas have led to more efficient and safer ECLS. Second, the CESAR trial has shown that, for adults with severe ARDS, referral to an ECLS center improves outcomes. Finally, the adverse consequences of conventional management of lung failure, including ventilator-induced lung injury, ICU-acquired weakness, and nosocomial infection, have become abundantly clear. Some of these may be ameliorated by using ECLS in preference to conventional care. As perceptions of the role of ECLS have evolved, more practitioners and more centers are developing ECLS capability or positioning themselves to offer ECLS. The aim of this book is to deliver a concise, evidence-based review of ECLS for adult disease. Adult medicine (rather than neonatal and pediatric disease, where ECLS has an established but limited role) represents the growth area for ECLS. Chapters are devoted to describing the complex physiology and technology; the evidence base in varied clinical conditions; how to obtain vascular access; daily management of the circuit and patient; guidance regarding the weaning and decannulation process; and recommendations for crisis management and rehabilitation related to ECLS. The text concludes with a fascinating historical review, showing just how far we ve come. This text has been written for practicing physicians, nurses, perfusion specialists, therapists, and critical care trainees who are considering whether to refer their patients for ECLS, debating whether to offer ECLS capability to their patients, or are already providing ECLS but seek a practical reference to best practices and updated information. It could never have been completed without the inspiration vii

viii Preface from my colleagues at Iowa who strive daily to save the sickest patients; the trainees whose curiosity makes us all want to know more; my contributors who are at the forefront of a truly challenging field; and our publisher at Springer-Link who pushed for this important book. Finally, I recognize all those who do the hard work: the nurses, perfusionists, and therapists who dedicate their lives to the critically ill. This is an exciting time, ripe with change and opportunity. We seek a path forward for the benefit of all our patients. Iowa City, IA, USA Gregory A. Schmidt, MD

Chapter 1 Physiology of Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) Matthew J. Brain, Warwick W. Butt, and Graeme MacLaren Introduction Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and related implantable circulatory assistance devices describe several advancing technologies with broadening scope that are being increasingly incorporated into management of critically ill patients. ECLS may be provided in several configurations to support or replace cardiorespiratory function (Fig. 1.1). In veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) the objective is to maintain systemic oxygen delivery by oxygenating venous blood returning to the right heart. In veno-arterial mode (VA-ECMO), M.J.
