Developing a new pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program

Cicalese, Erin; Meisler, Sarah; Kitchin, Michael; Zhang, Margaret; Verma, Sourabh; Dapul, Heda; McKinstry, Jaclyn; Toy, Bridget; Chopra, Arun; Fisher, Jason C
OBJECTIVES/OBJECTIVE:We aimed to critically evaluate the effectiveness of a designated ECMO team in our ECMO selection process and patient outcomes in the first 3 years of our low-volume pediatric ECMO program. METHODS:We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who received an ECMO consultation between the start of our program in March 2015 and May 2018. We gathered clinical and demographic information on patients who did and did not receive ECMO, and described our selection process. We reflected on the processes used to initiate our program and our outcomes in the first 3 years. RESULTS:, lactate, and pH between the patients who went on ECMO and who did not. We improved our outcomes from 0% survival to discharge in 2015, to 60% in 2018, with an average of 63% survival to discharge over the first 3 years of our program. CONCLUSIONS:In a low-volume pediatric ECMO center, having a designated team to assist in the patient selection process and management can help provide safe and efficient care to these patients, and improve patient outcomes. Having a strict management protocol and simulation sessions involving all members of the medical team yields comfort for the providers and optimal care for patients. This study describes our novel structure, processes, and outcomes, which we hope will be helpful to others seeking to develop a new pediatric ECMO program.

Implementation of Pediatric ECMO Safety Rounds for Real-time Quality Improvement [Meeting Abstract]

Toy, B; Beaulieu, T; LoRe, K; Cicalese, E; Dapul, H; Maldonado, M; McKinstry, J; Verma, S; Chopra, A; Fisher, J C
Study: Our Pediatric ECMO Program implemented ECMO Safety Rounds (ESR) as a quality improvement (QI) initiative. Objectives were to ensure implementation of protocols, immediately correct quality/safety deficiencies, and provide real-time education to nurses and perfusionists. Our specific aim was to track compliance with this process-improvement bundle and identify areas to target with QI efforts, with a long-term global aim of reducing quality/safety variances and patient harm over time. XXMethod(s): Our team initiated Pediatric ESR in September 2019. Two process- based QI bundles were developed: (1) Circuit Safety - 35 bundle elements, including maintenance and emergency checks; (2) Patient Safety - 13 bundle elements focused on nursing practices specific to minimizing patient harm. Pediatric ESR consisted of these two bundle assessments performed by designated ESR clinicians at the bedside with the patient's nurse and perfusionist. Credit for bundle compliance was awarded only if all elements were properly met. Noncompliant elements were addressed in real-time. All data was recorded in REDCap database. XXResult(s): 36 Pediatric ESRs were completed (Sept. 2019 - Jan. 2021). Monthly bundle compliance was reported using run charts. Median compliance with both bundles appeared to improve over time, with their most recent centerlines both at 67% compliance (Figure 1). Analysis of individual bundle elements revealed that 19/48 (40%) safety items were deficient at least once during the 36 ESRs (Table 1). Any individual bundle element with greater than 2 noncompliance events prompted our team to target interventions addressing these lapses, including new protocols and education, conducting multidisciplinary reviews, and collaborating with ancillary departments. We conclude that Pediatric ESR provides real-time assessment of compliance, immediate corrective and education measures, and actionable data to drive performance improvement around observed vulnerabilities in ECMO protocols

Safety Checklist Implementation Did Not Reduce Central Venous Catheter Duration in Pediatric Cardiac ICU Patients

Sahulee, Raj; Ramirez, Michelle M; Al-Qaqaa, Yasir M; Chakravarti, Sujata B; McKinstry, Jaclyn
The Center for Disease Control recommends prompt removal of nonessential central venous catheters (CVCs) to reduce the risk for central line-associated bloodstream infections. Safety checklists have been trialed to reduce nonessential CVC days, but pediatric studies are lacking. Our specific aim was to detect >10% reduction in mean CVC duration after implementation of a safety checklist addressing CVCs in our unit.
