Brief Summary

Neurological injury remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ECPR. At present, the results of three prospective randomized controlled studies on ECPR are inconsistent, and it is inconclusive whether ECPR can improve the neurological outcomes of patients with refractory cardiac arrest. Several study found that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation nonsurvivors can lead toacute brain injury.Further research with a systematic neurologic monitoring is necessary to define the timing of acute brain injury in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.Moreover, brain injury that occurs during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy is not easy to detect in time because of the use of analgesics, sedatives, and muscle relaxants. Surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the role of cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. Moreover,the features of cerebrovascular pathophysiology and optimal management strategies are still vague. Therefore multimodal neuromonitoring may be a valuable tool for detecting brain injury in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and providing early intervention guidance. The aim of this study is to test whether multimodal neuromonitoring will improve 30-day survival with a favorable neurologic outcome in ECPR patients with a refractory OHCA.

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

multimodal monitoring strategy

EXPERIMENTAL

These include TCD to monitor cerebral blood perfusion levels, NIRS to monitor oxygen saturation levels in brain regions, ONSD to evaluate cerebral edema, and continuous quantitative EEG to monitor brain function to assess prognosis. Among them, The Vm will maintained between 56-85 cm/s, Vd\>30cm/s,PI\<1.2, the cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) in the brain region will maintained at 55%-75%, ONSD \<5.5mm, and the pathological state will be monitored with EEG.

Other: fluid resuscitation, vasoactive drug dose,hemoglobin transfusion,sedative analgesic muscle relaxant drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc

control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

SPO2 between 92 and 98%, MAP ≥ 65 mmHg, Hb ≥ 7 g/dL, pH 7.35 to 7.45, Pco2 between 40-45 mmHg, Routine fluid resuscitation, dehydration and intracranial pressure reduction, ECMO circulatory flow adjustment, temperature management, ventilator-supported ventilation, coronary angiography if coronary causes are suspected.

Model Details: The control group: The goals of resuscitation include radial oxygen saturation between 92 and 98%, MAP ≥ 65 mmHg, Hb ≥ 7 g/dL, pH 7.35 to 7.45, and coagulation in accordance with ECMO management requirements. Routine fluid resuscitation, dehydration and intracranial pressure reduction, ECMO circulatory flow adjustment, temperature management, ventilator-supported ventilation, coronary angiography if coronary causes are suspected. The experimental group:The Vm will maintained between 56-85 cm/s, Vd\>30cm/s,PI \<1.2, the cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) in the brain region will maintained between 60%-70%, ONSD\<5.5mm, and the pathological state will be monitored with EEG by regulating the ECMO parameters, temperature treatment, ventilation, vasoactive agent, sedative and antiepileptic drug et al. if necessary. The rest were monitored and treated with the control group.
