Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe respiratory failure in newborn infants.
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex procedure of life support in severe but potentially reversible respiratory failure, used particularly in mature newborn infants. Although the number of babies requiring ECMO is small, and the ECMO policy invasive and potentially expensive, its benefits may be high. OBJECTIVES To determine whether ECMO used for neonatal infants...
متن کاملDevelopmental outcome in newborn infants treated for acute respiratory failure with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: present experience.
OBJECTIVE To describe the later health status of newborn infants who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory failure in the era after the UK ECMO trial. DESIGN Prospective follow up study of newborn infants who received ECMO at a single centre between January 1997 and January 2001. SETTING Departments of ECMO and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospit...
متن کاملCurrent status of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe respiratory failure.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory failure was reviewed. ECMO progressed from laboratory research to initial clinical trials in 1972. Following a decade of clinical research, ECMO is now standard treatment for neonatal respiratory failure refractory to conventional pulmonary support techniques worldwide. The application of neonatal ECMO has been extended with improved ou...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Pediatric Respiratory Failure.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was developed initially in the 1960s to support refractory respiratory failure in addition to the cardiac support inherent in a venoarterial bypass circuit. Early successes occurred predominantly in the neonatal population with subsequent randomized controlled trials and comprehensive reviews concluding therapeutic efficacy for ECMO in neonatal respira...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe acute respiratory failure
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique for providing life support, in case the natural lungs are failing and are not able to maintain a sufficient oxygenation of the body's organ systems. ECMO technique was an adaptation of conventional cardiopulmonary bypass techniques and introduced into treatment of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the 1970s. The initia...
