Guiding complexity in V-A ECMO weaning decisions for cardiogenic shock: Insights from a conjoint analysis
< 0.001). Vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS; 11.1%), VTI (9.7%) and the presence of peripheral and/or pulmonary edema (9.8%) had the highest relative importance to overall weaning decisions. Echocardiography was found to contribute more to weaning decisions in ECMO novices. Weaning decisions were predominantly driven by parameters reflecting cardiac recovery. Leveraging these insights may set the stage for a clinical decision-support tool to benchmark individual practice against expert consensus.
