About this trial

This multicenter randomized controlled trial compare two transfusion strategies of red blood cells transfusion in patients supported by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock.

An individualized transfusion strategy based on ScVO2 level, is compared to a conventionnal strategy based on predefined hemoglobin threshold. The primary endpoint is the consumption of packed red blod cells, secondary endpoints are subgroup analysis, mortality, morbidity, and cost-effectiveness

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs)

    Drug

    Patient will recieve PRBCs transfusion only in case of ScVO2 level\<65% after assessment of patient for optimisation of SaO2 targeting 100%, volume status, ECMO flow (increase to 20% in relevant), pain, anxiety and fever (body temperature \>38°3). In both groups transfusion may be performed in case massive bleeding according to local protocols, STEMI, Hyperlactatemia \>4 that can be related to oxygen demand and supply DO2/VO2 ratio impairement, in all groups, transfusion should be performed in case of hemolobin level \<7g/dL or worsening of neurological condition (Increase in Neurological SOFA component of 1 and more) related to DO2/VO2 impairement.
