A systematic review of adult animal models investigating ECMO use for ARDS: where to from here
摘要
Controlled clinical trials investigating ongoing questions about extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including what the optimal mechanical ventilation (MV) tidal volume (TV) strategies are and whether ECMO potentiates injurious host responses, are difficult. We therefore conducted a systematic literature search and review to characterize studies investigating ECMO in adult animal lung injury models and to determine whether they inform these questions.
MethodsA systematic literature search with relevant search terms was conducted of four data bases through 2/2/24.
ResultsForty-five studies met inclusion criteria, and most parameters examined were represented similarly in studies with (n = 24) or without (n = 21) severe ARDS PaO2/FiO2s levels (≤ 100 mmHg or > 100 mmHg). Overall, while only 11 studies were published from 1971 to 2005, 5, 8, and 11 were published in subsequent 5-year periods up to 2020 and then 10 through 2/2/24 (Figure
Animal models to date have addressed important questions facing ECMO use for ARDS, but ones more closely simulating ARDS in patients appear warranted.
