Objectives:
Extracorporeal life support can lead to rapid reversal of hypoxemia but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation targets in severely ill patients are unclear. Our primary objective was to investigate the association between the Pa o2 after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation and mortality in neonates treated for respiratory failure.
Design:
Retrospective analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry data, 2015-2020.
Patients:
Newborns supported by ECMO for respiratory indication were included.
Interventions:
None.
Measurements And Main Results:
Pa o2 24 hours after ECMO initiation (H24 Pa o2 ) was reported. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. We identified 3533 newborns (median age 1 d [interquartile range (IQR), 1-3]; median weight 3.2 kg [IQR, 2.8-3.6]) from 198 ELSO centers, who were placed on ECMO. By 28 days of life, 731 (20.7%) had died. The median H24 Pa o2 was 85 mm Hg (IQR, 60-142). We found that both hypoxia (Pa o2 < 60 mm Hg) and moderate hyperoxia (Pa o2 201-300 mm Hg) were associated with greater adjusted odds ratio (aOR [95% CI]) of 28-day mortality, respectively: aOR 1.44 (95% CI, 1.08-1.93), p = 0.016, and aOR 1.49 (95% CI, 1.01-2.19), p value equals to 0.045.
Conclusions:
Early hypoxia or moderate hyperoxia after ECMO initiation are each associated with greater odds of 28-day mortality among neonates requiring ECMO for respiratory failure.

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
