SAVE
Survival After Veno-arterial ECMO

The SAVE Score has been developed by ELSO and The Department of Intensive Care at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne. It is designed to assist prediction of survival for adult patients undergoing Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock. It should not be considered a substitute for clinical assessment.

The patient's SAVE Score is
Diagnosis:
i
Select one or more
Age (years):
Weight (kg):
Cardiac:
i
Worst value within 6 hours prior to cannulation
i
Worst value within 6 hours prior to cannulation
Respiratory:
Intubation duration pre ECMO (hrs)
Renal:
i
Acute renal insufficiency (e.g. creatinine >1.5mg/dL (133 μmol/L)) with or without renal replacement therapy
i
Kidney damage or glomerular filtration rate < 60mL/min/1.73 m² for ≥ 3 months
i
Worst value before cannulation
Other organ failures pre ECMO:
i
Neurotrauma, stroke, encephalopathy, cerebral embolism, seizure and epileptic syndromes
i
Bilirubin ≥ 33μmol/L or elevation of serum aminotransferases (ALT or AST) > 70 UI/L at ECMO cannulation
