Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common clinical problem. When patients develop severe shock and/or respiratory failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be considered. This case series describes the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients with DKA supported with ECMO. Methods: We conducted a retrospective and anonymized review of 15 patients with DKA who required ECMO at our institution. Demographic and ECMO-specific data were collected. Additional variables include ICU length of stay (LOS), acute kidney injury and use of continuous renal replacement therapy, disposition, and mortality. Results: All ECMO cannulations were performed by an intensivist using peripheral vascular access. The majority of patients were female (73%) with a median age of 27 (IQR = 21.5–45) years. A diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) prior to ECMO was present in 11 (73%) patients. Venoarterial ECMO was the initial mode used in 11 (73%) patients. The median duration of ECMO support was 7 (IQR = 6–14) days. The median ICU LOS was 12 (IQR = 8.5–20.5) days, and the median hospital LOS was 21 (IQR = 11–36.5) days. Eight patients had cardiac arrest and underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) of which 4 (50%) patients survived to discharge. Overall, 10 (66.7%) patients were successfully weaned from ECMO and survived to discharge. Conclusion: This is the largest case series regarding the use of ECMO for patients with refractory shock, cardiac arrest, or respiratory failure related to DKA. The findings suggest that ECMO is a viable support option for managing these patients and has excellent outcomes, including patients with cardiac arrest.
