Abstract Objective: We investigated whether a treatment according to a clinical algorithm could improve the low survival rates in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Design: Uncontrolled prospective trial. Setting: One university hospital intensive care department. Patients and participants: 122 patients with ARDS, consecutively admitted to the ICU. Interventions: ARDS was treated according to a criteria-defined clinical algorithm. The algorithm distinguished two main treatment groups…

Experience and Results with VV-ECMO for Severe Acute Respiratory Failure: Weaning Versus Nonweaning
- MedicineASAIO journal

High PLT counts at ICU admission and the day immediately before initiating ECMO might play a key role in successful weaning of VV-ECMO for severe acute respiratory failure, and the proper target PLT level should be evaluated to enhance ECMO outcomes.

There was no significant effect difference between ECMO and conventional mechanical ventilation in the treatment of patients with ARDs and a more comprehensive assessment of major factors is needed to evaluate the mortality rate of ARDS after ECMO treatment.

The question whether healthier patients are now evaluated cannot be conclusively answered, but all major ARDS studies published or performed within the last 4 years report mortality rates within the 40% range, which seems reasonable to relate this trend to reduced mortality to improved supportive therapy.

The outcome of ARDS is unpredictable at the time of onset and also at the times of the worst oxygenation, and therefore the costs per saved year of life are low.
