Cross-sectional Survey of Zhejiang ECMO Application

• Conditions: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Epidemiology

• Registration Number: NCT04979325
• Lead Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Brief Summary

Extracorporeal lung oxygenation (ECMO) was first used in neonates in the 1970s and is now widely used to treat adult patients with intractable shock and respiratory failure who have failed various types of conventional life support. According to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO), a total of 61,193 adult patients worldwide received ECMO in 2019. According to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO), a total of 61,193 adult patients were treated with ECMO worldwide in 2019, including 25,631 VV-ECOM, 12,836 VA, and 5086 ECPR. The number of ECMO cases and hospitals in Zhejiang province are increasing year by year, and they play an irreplaceable role in various critical care resuscitation, especially in response to public emergencies, but there is a lack of precise data on the current status of ECMO implementation. This study aims to investigate the implementation of ECMO, problems and needs of hospitals at all levels in Zhejiang Province, and provide reference for further improving the capacity and quality of ECMO application in the province.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter cross-sectional survey study ,was conducted jointly by the Zhejiang Emergency Medicine Quality Control Center, the Zhejiang Medical Emergency Medicine Branch and the Zhejiang Physicians Association Emergency Physicians Branch. The survey covers the general situation and ECMO implementation in general public hospitals at the county and district level in Zhejiang Province, including people's hospitals, Chinese medicine hospitals and above.
