Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Need for Blood Transfusion
Number of pRBC transfusion that resulted due to postoperative bleeding
72 hours after surgery
Study Arms (2)
Cardiopulmonary Bypass
There will be 40 patients placed on cardiopulmonary bypass during lung transplantation.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
There will be 40 patients placed on ECMO during lung transplantation.
Interventions
ECMO is used during lung transplant procedure
Eligibility Criteria
The study population will be all patients requiring cardiopulmonary support while undergoing lung transplantation at our institution.
You may qualify if:
- \. The study population will be all patients requiring cardiopulmonary support while undergoing lung transplantation at our institution.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients undergoing concomitant cardiac operations with indication for obligate use of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Patient with specific anatomy that require full cardiac decompression such as severe pulmonary hypertension or large heart that are shifted severely into the left chest
- Patients with high likelihood of significant pleural bleeding that will require returning the blood back into the cardiotomy reservoir
- Patients bridged to transplant with ECMO
- Cystic fibrosis/bronchiectasis/resistant infection patients where surgeon will need to remove both lungs prior to implantation
- Patients who the surgeon feels would be better served with CPB rather than ECMO- These patients will be entered into a registry and followed.
