This is an observational study of outcomes of the NHS England-commissioned national respiratory ECMO service, which has been active at six centres since December 2011.
The primary outcome of interest is the number of patients who survive to ICU discharge at the ECMO centre. The study also aims to identify factors predictive of outcome.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Acute Respiratory Failure | Device: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation |
Recent randomised and observational studies suggest there may be a role for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with severe acute respiratory failure that have not responded to conventional measures.
In 2011, NHS England commissioned a national service to provide ECMO for severe respiratory failure at six centres across the country. Patients with severe respiratory failure are referred to the network if conventional measures are unsuccessful, and if accepted are transferred to an ECMO centre for specialist care. The criteria for admission is at the discretion of clinicians at each centre.
The NHS ECMO registry has been created by cross-referencing data submitted to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organisation (ELSO) in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a tracker document identifying patients treated within the network. Analysis has been undertaken from December 2018 to March 2019.

Study Population | All patients who received ECMO as part of the NHS England-commissioned national respiratory ECMO service between 1st December 2011 and 31st December 2017. | ||||||
Condition | Acute Respiratory Failure | ||||||
Intervention | Device: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
ECMO provides extracorporeal gas exchange through use of a membrane oxygenator. Blood is drained from a central vein and returned after oxygenation into either the venous or arterial circulation dependent on configuration.
