ecls_circuit

An ECLS circuit is defined by the combination of components used during extracorporeal support. Additionally, information regarding the tubing and priming substances is stored using dedicated columns.

Column name Required Data Type
circuit_id True integer, generated always as identity
start_datetime True timestamptz
stop_datetime (True) timestamptz
person_id True integer
run_id True integer
tubing_size_in_inch True integer
priming_solution_concept_id  True integer
start_reason_concept_id True integer
stop_reason_concept_id (True) integer

.circuit_id

The primary key column.

.start_datetime

Stores the timestamp of the beginning of the ECLS blood flow.

.stop_datetime

Denotes the time the circuit was stopped.

Timestamps

The first circuit in a run must have the same start_datetime as ecls_run.start_datetime. If a circuit is changed or stopped, do not include retransfusion procedures as part of the runtime.

Reinfusion

Sometimes blood is reinfused when changing the circuit or ending the run. Use 36717920, Reinfusion of blood from extracorporeal life support circuit to collect this procedure accordingly.

.person_id

The foreign key to the person table.

.run_id

The foreign key to the ecls_run table.

.tubing_size_in_inches

Store the correct tubing size used for the circuit.

Typical tubing sizes in inches Store the following value
3/16" (4.76mm) 0.1875
1/4" (6.35mm) 0.25
3/8" (9.53mm) 0.375
1/2" (12.70mm) 0.5

Due to the data type (numeric) only use floating-point numbers with up to three decimal places.

.priming_solution_concept_id

The foreign key to the concept table.
Various priming solutions are used when preparing the ECLS circuit.

Allowed concepts:

concept_id concept_name comment
4162581 Sodium chloride solution Sodium chloride a placeholder for any crystalline fluid. This is necessary due to design of the drug vocabularies used by the OMOP CDM.
4226865 Blood
37311619 Albumin human

.stop_reason_concept_id

The foreign key to the concept table.
Record the reason why the circuit was stopped.

Refer to Stop reasons for details on stopping the run, circuit and/or component properly.
