Registration Number
NCT05079009
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that the ECCO2R pulsatile configuration prevents the Willebrand factor high molecular weight multimers decrease observed under continuous blood flow configurations.

The secondary objectives are to quantify the CO2 extracorporeal removal in the pulsatile configuration, to describe complications (hemorrhagic, thrombotic and hemolytic), to describe patients' gas exchanges under ECCO2R, to describe the clinical course of the patients under ECCO2R as well as during the whole stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Detailed Description

A track of major interest to prevent bleeding complications in ECCO2R, and more generally in extracorporeal circulations, is to prevent acquired Willebrand disease. Indeed, a loss of Willebrand factor high molecular weight multimers (Whmwm) is frequently observed in conditions characterized by a continuous blood flow, associated with a high incidence of bleeding. A publication suggested the existence of this phenomenon under ECCO2R achieved through the medical device Hemolung (Alung technology, USA). We preliminary observed an almost constant and early (\< 24 hours) decrease in Willebrand factor high molecular weight multimers under ECCO2R. Such a phenomenon is considered as a major factor of hemorrhagic complications. We hypothesize that use of pulsatile extracorporeal blood flow configuration during the full length of ECCO2R therapy, as authorized by the Xenios console (Xenios AG, Heilbronn), would preserve a normal value of Whmwm, mainly by changing the conditions of shear constraints ("shear stress").
