Szumita, PharmD, FCCM, BCCCP, BCPS; Susan Lagambina, RRT; Gerald Weinhouse, MD; Jeremy R. DeGrado, PharmD, BCCCP, BCPS. Publisher or Source: The American Society for Artificial Internal Organs Type of Media: Medical Research Media Originally for: General Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: The purpose of this analysis is to describe the safety of propofol administration in adult ECMO patients. We performed a prospective cohort analysis of patients utilizing ECMO at Brigham and Women’s Hospital between February 2013 and October 2015. Patients were included if they utilized ECMO for at least 48 hours. The major endpoint of the analysis was the median oxygenator lifespan. Oxygenator exchanges were analyzed by the number of patients requiring an oxygenator exchange and the number of oxygenator exchanges per ECMO day. A priori analysis was performed comparing outcomes between patients who did and did not receive propofol during their ECMO course. During the study, 43 patients were included in the analysis. Sixteen patients utilized propofol during their ECMO course. There were 12 oxygenator exchanges during therapy. Oxygenator exchange occurred on 1.8% of ECMO days. The median oxygenator lifespan was 7 days. Patients who utilized propofol had a significantly longer oxygenator lifespan (p=0.02). Among patients who received propofol, patients who required oxygenator exchange utilized a significantly lower median daily dose of propofol (p<0.001). The use of propofol appears safe in ECMO with regards to oxygenator viability. Contrary to expected, oxygenator lifespan was significantly longer among patients who received propofol.

A one-year project, led by the University of Plymouth and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is seeking to address these issues through the creation of a toolkit and training package for current and future clinicians. Professor of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Jenny Freeman will be running the project with collaborators from the University’s Faculty of Health, the University of Warwick, and partners in NHS Trusts and the social care sector across the region.

PSS can affect people of any age, but a study from the University of Michigan Health System, published in 2010 the medical journal JAMA, found that older severe sepsis survivors were at higher risk for long-term cognitive impairment and physical problems than others their age who were treated for other illnesses. Their problems ranged from no longer being able to walk to not being able to participate in everyday activities, such as bathing, toileting, or preparing meals. Changes in mental status can range from no longer being able to perform complicated tasks to not being able to remember everyday things.
