A technique of hemodialysis in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of hemodialysis (HD) by using a screw compressor clamp on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) lines without placing a central venous catheter. Material and Methods: From May 2013 to September 2017, 43 adult patients with ECMO that required renal replacement treatment with HD were included.The inflow of the dialysis machine was connected to the outlet of the oxygenator, and the outflow was connected to the venous line using two 3-way taps. The tool that was used on the outflow circuit to perform HD is a clamp on a screw, allowing us to squeeze and de-squeeze to set the optimal line pressure. Creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, pH, base deficit, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) values were evaluated, and compared pre/post-HD. Rate and duration of dialysis were also analyzed. Results: HD was successfully performed in all patients with this technique without additional morbidity and mortality. No related complications due to HD were observed. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, pH, base deficit values were decreased to the desired levels after dialysis (p<0.05). There was a slight insignificant increase in LDH values after HD (p=0.446). Conclusion: This screw compressor clamp increased the pressure on returning line of HD to the venous ECMO line; and made dialysis and ultrafiltration possible even in low blood pressure. This technique is very simple and allows to perform successful filtration and dialysis using ECMO lines without placing venous catheter
