Ferguson N.D. Brochard L. Fan E. Mercat A. Combes A. et al.ECMO for ARDS: from salvage to standard of care?.Lancet Respir Med. 2019; 7: 108-110Google Scholar Over the past decade, both the number of centers offering ECMO and the volume of ECMO cases has increased exponentially worldwide.2Extracorporeal Life Support OrganizationInternational summary – July, 2020.https://www.elso.org/Registry/Statistics/InternationalSummary.aspxDate accessed: October 25, 2020Google Scholar However, rapid diffusion of this complex, resource-intensive therapy across centers and indications raises significant concerns regarding maintaining both quality and efficacy. Numerous contemporary studies have already demonstrated decreased patient survival among patients receiving ECMO treated at lower-volume centers.3Barbaro R.P. Odetola F.O. Kidwell K.M. Paden M.L. Bartlett R.H. Davis M.M. et al.Association of hospital-level volume of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cases and mortality. Analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry.Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2015; 191: 894-901Google Scholar,4Becher P.M. Goßling A. Schrage B. Twerenbold R. Fluschnik N. Seiffert M. et al.Procedural volume and outcomes in patients undergoing VA-ECMO support.Crit Care. 2020; 24: 291Google Scholar One approach to improve patient outcomes at these centers may be the use of collaborative, interinstitutional quality improvement initiatives.In this issue of the Journal, Schwartz and colleagues5Schwartz G. Huff E.A. van Zyl J.S. da Graca B. Gonzalez-Stawinski G.V. Velazco J. et al.A system-wide extracorporeal membrane oxygenation quality collaborative improves patient outcomes.J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2022; 163: 1366-1374.e9Google Scholar described the results of a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary ECMO quality improvement collaborative among 4 ECMO-capable centers. This included 1 specialty cardiac hospital and 3 general, acute care hospitals, with case volumes ranging from 15 to greater than 120 cases annually. Key deliverables were standardized across all sites, including the patient selection criteria, ECMO credentialing process, electronic order sets, management and weaning protocols, and inter-institutional transfer processes. In particular, the standardized credentialing criteria set out requirements for both formal extracorporeal life support training and minimum biannual case volumes. Finally, and perhaps most important, was the provision for a comprehensive ECMO database to regularly provide system-wide and institutional quality evaluations.After a 6-month implementation period, the authors noted an impressive 25% improvement in survival to hospital discharge or transfer to other hospitals and a 40% decrease in ECMO-related complications. Numbers of cardiovascular, limb, infectious, and mechanical complications decreased significantly postimplementation. The authors, however, could not find a clear association between the reduction in complications and the improvement in survival. Survival improvements appeared to be largely driven by the veno-arterial ECMO cohort, whereas complication rates decreased most in the veno-venous ECMO and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation cohorts. Instead, there is something less tangible driving the improvement in survival. The authors attributed this to improved patient selection during the postimplementation period. Indeed, substantial variations exist in ECMO outcomes depending on the indication for ECMO and patient comorbidities at the time of ECMO initiation.6Schmidt M. Burrell A. Roberts L. Bailey M. Sheldrake J. Rycus P.T. et al.Predicting survival after ECMO for refractory cardiogenic shock: the survival after veno-arterial-ECMO (SAVE)-score.Eur Heart J. 2015; 36: 2245-2256Google Scholar However, detailed baseline characteristics were not reported as a part of this study, making it difficult to identify specific areas of improvement for patient selection. Meticulous collection of these variables will be critical in ensuring the ability to clinically translate any future studies.Nevertheless, the results from this study are important. Collaboration, measurement, and reporting are key steps in improving outcomes after complex, low-volume procedures. This is supported by the notion that outcomes for patients requiring ECMO are generally improved when cared for by an interdisciplinary team.7Na S.J. Chung C.R. Choi H.J. Cho Y.H. Sung K. Yang J.H. et al.The effect of multidisciplinary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation team on clinical outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory failure.Ann Intensive Care. 2018; 8: 31Google Scholar,8Dalia A.A. Ortoleva J. Fiedler A. Villavicencio M. Shelton K. Cudemus G.D. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a team sport: institutional survival benefits of a formalized ECMO team.J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2019; 33: 902-907Google Scholar In this study, the establishment of an interinstitutional and interdisciplinary quality improvement team allowed a system-wide improvement in outcomes over a short period of time. A dynamic feedback system with ongoing iterative changes, standardized auditing process, and postdischarge/transfer follow-up processes may further improve outcomes.9Greenhalgh T. Papoutsi C. Spreading and scaling up innovation and improvement.Br Med J. 2019; 365: I2068Google Scholar,10Foy R. Skrypak M. Alderson S. Ivers N.M. McInerney B. Stoddart J. et al.Revitalising audit and feedback to improve patient care.Br Med J. 2020; 368: m213Google Scholar Ultimately, region-wide organization and broad implementation of system-wide quality improvement collaborations will be essential to improve the accessibility, quality, and efficacy of this upcoming “standard of care.” Interinstitutional, interdisciplinary collaboration and outcomes measurement are essential to improving outcomes after ECMO.
