Prognostic effect of estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest undergoing percutaneous veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

摘要

Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can improve survival in patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. We investigated the association between initial renal function and clinical outcome in patients undergoing VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest.
