Effects of Ulinastatin on Inflammatory Response During ECMO Support

Overview

This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study. The subjects were patients who received ECMO support. According to whether ulinastatin is used in the treatment regimen (determined by the competent doctor according to the patient's condition), the patients were divided into the ulinastatin and control groups. In the ulinastatin group, ulinastatin was used for inflammation management and organ protection early before ECMO was started. Baseline data and inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α), capillary leakage markers, routine test results, duration of ECMO use/length of hospital stay/length of ICU stay were recorded at 1, 3, and 5 days after the start of ECMO support, and patients were followed up on the 28th and 90th days.

This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study. The subjects were patients who received ECMO support. According to whether ulinastatin is used in the treatment regimen (determined by the competent doctor according to the patient's condition), the patients were divided into the ulinastatin and control groups. 144 subjects were enrolled, including 72 subjects in the ulinastatin group and 72 subjects in the control group. In the ulinastatin group, ulinastatin was used for inflammation management and organ protection early before ECMO was started. The recommended clinical routine dosage of ulinastatin is 300,000 IU, q8h (continuous administration for more than 5 days). Baseline data and inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α), capillary leakage markers, routine test results, duration of ECMO use/length of hospital stay/length of ICU stay were recorded at 1, 3, and 5 days after the start of ECMO support, and patients were followed up on the 28th and 90th days.
