NCT03632837

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the use of an additional hemoadsorption device in adult patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) following cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in respect to its effects on post resuscitation inflammatory syndrome. At implantation of the ECMO the participants are going to be randomized into a treatment and a control group. The first will be outfitted with a polymer-based adsorption device implemented in the extracorporal circulation established by ECMO for 48h, the control group is going to be treated by ECMO and standard intensive care alone. To detect any significant differences in terms of inflammatory response and patient outcome the investigators will regularly determine the blood levels of certain cytokines in fixed intervalls. In addition, the investigators are going to compare secondary clinical outcome parameters like organ disfunction and 30d mortality.
