ObjectiveTo summarize the experiences of percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) for critically ill patients and examine the risk factors associated with prognosis.MethodsThe clinical data of 22 patients with acute severe cardiorespiratory failure on PCPS at intensive care unit of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from September 2006 to February 2013 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to the prognosis, they were divided into the survival and mortality groups. And their risk factors of prognosis were analyzed.ResultsThe PCPS support time was 2-334 (75 ± 10) hours, 14 cases (63.6%) were successfully weaned and 12 cases (54.6%) discharged. The inter-group differences of blood lactic acid level before PCPS, heart ejection fraction, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and number of multiple organ failure (> 3) were statistically significant (P < 0.05).ConclusionsPCPS is an effective approach for severe acute patients with cardiopulmonary failure. And blood lactic acid level before PCPS, heart ejection fraction, SOFA score and number of multiple organ failure (>3) may be the risk factors related with prognosis.
