La fasciotomie des extrémités chez les patients sous oxygénation extracorporelle est associée de manière indépendante à la mortalité des patients hospitalisés - 23/08/22
Extremity fasciotomy for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is independently associated with inpatient mortality
Abstract |
Introduction |
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) maintains end-organ perfusion in critically ill patients with cardiac or respiratory failure; however, ECMO cannulation in the extremities has been associated with significant limb ischemia and risk of compartment syndrome. Current literature on ECMO and fasciotomies is limited to small single-center retrospective studies. This study aimed to: 1) compare the incidence of postoperative outcomes and mortality in patients undergoing fasciotomy while on ECMO to those of non-fasciotomy ECMO patients; and 2) assess the difference in adjusted mortality risk between the two groups.
Hypothesis |
We hypothesized that patients undergoing fasciotomy while on ECMO would have significantly higher odds of in-hospital mortality than non-fasciotomy ECMO patients after adjustment for perioperative variables.
Methods |
We conducted a retrospective review of NIS from January 1st, 2012–September 30, 2015 for all hospitalizations involving ECMO and stratified them into two cohorts based on whether they underwent fasciotomy after ECMO. Patient baseline characteristics, in-hospital procedures and postoperative outcomes were compared between the two cohorts. Logistic regression was used to assess in-hospital mortality risk between the two cohorts adjusting for age, sex, Elixhauser score and perioperative procedures and non-fasciotomy perioperative morbidity.
Results |
There were 7085 estimated eligible discharges between 2012 and 2015 identified, 149 (2.1 %) of which underwent fasciotomy following ECMO. One hundred and thirteen of the 149 hospitalizations (77 %) in the fasciotomy cohort resulted in in-hospital mortality, compared to 3805 of the 6936 (55 %) in the non-fasciotomy cohort. There were no differences in rates of transfusion (p=0.290), length of stay (p=0.282), or discharge disposition (p=0.126) between the two cohorts. In the logistic regression model, the fasciotomy cohort had a higher odds of in-hospital mortality than non-fasciotomy cohort (OR, 2.5; 95 % CI, 1.1–5.6).
Discussion |
Operative treatment of acute compartment syndrome for patients on ECMO therapy is associated with significantly increased mortality and morbidity. Whether fasciotomy is a marker of sickness or represents a cause-and-effect relationship is unknown and future should investigate the role of non-operative treatment of compartment syndrome on mortality in this population.
Level of evidence |
III; prognostic.
