IPANEMA-ECMO: Impact of Prophylactic Antibiotics on Bloodstream Infections After Liberation From Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this prospective interventional study is to evaluate the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on bloodstream infections after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. The main questions aims to answer are:
• does application of vancomycine prior to ECMO liberation have an impact of bloodstream infections?
Participants will get 1 dose of vancomycine I.V. (15-20 mg per kgKG) prior to liberation of ECMO.
Researchers will compare this interventional group to a group without antibiotic prophylaxis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Growth of pathogens in blood culture [taken 72 hours after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy]
Detection of pathogens / blood stream infection
- Growth of pathogens in blood culture [taken directly before removal of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy]

Secondary Outcome Measures
- Growth of pathogens on cannula tip [on the day of liberation, cannula tip will be send to institute of microbiology directly after liberation from ECMO]
