The use of ECMO is associated with significant costs and risks, and it requires specialist training and expertise. In order to better prepare for the organisation of these complex interventions in the ICU across regions, we need to have accurate data on patients undergoing ECMO.
The EXCEL registry represents a novel, coordinated effort to create a high-quality, detailed, prospective registry of patients requiring ECMO at Australian ECMO centres. EXCEL includes data on ECMO retrieval, imitation, patient selection, device, cannula and person cannulating, daily data for 7 days, complications, costs and PROMs (HRQoL, disability, return to work, cognitive function) at 6 and 12 months. Additionally we have 4 embedded clinical trials.
EXCEL can be used to address specific safety concerns, clinical questions and process of care issues. As a result, EXCEL can be designed and implemented to answer new investigator-initiated, hypothesis-driven clinical questions. We currently have 4 embedded clinical trials.
