Tool to predict survival in patients receiving Venovenous (VV) Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)

About
The RESP score is a validated clinical tool to predict in-hospital survival in patients receiving Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory failure.
RESP score is calculated based 12 pre-ECMO clinical variables that have independent association with hospital survival. These variables were identified in a study (Schmidt 2014) involving 2,355 patients in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry who received ECMO for acute respiratory failure. The score was additionally validated in a cohort of 140 patients.
| Total RESP Score | Risk Class | Survival |
|---|---|---|
| ≥6 | I | 92% |
| 3 to 5 | II | 76% |
| -1 to 2 | III | 57% |
| -5 to -2 | IV | 33% |
| ≤-6 | V | 18% |
