Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support in a Patient with Status Asthmaticus
Status asthmaticus is a rare, fatal condition, especially in children. Sometimes respiratory support is insufficient with a mechanical ventilator or medical therapy for patients with status asthmaticus. In such situations, early extracorporeal membrane oxygenation application is a useful method for treating refractory respiratory failure. We report on a case of a six-year-old, male child who un...
متن کاملExtracorporeal life support for status asthmaticus.
Status asthmaticus is a life-threatening form of reactive airway disease, refractory to initial control with ordinary medical measures, sometimes requiring mechanical ventilatory assistance. In this report, we describe a patient whose bronchospasm could not be controlled with conventional measures, with severe respiratory acidosis (PaCO2 consistently > 100 mm Hg), who was successfully supported...

cannula, a curette needle, and a hollow bevelled needle with an inner removable stylet. The shaving action of the cannula over the curette after it has engaged the pleura is the recommended technique of pleural biopsy. The Abrams' needle consists of two main concentric tubes:3 the outer hollow trocar has a deep notch proximal to the tip and the cutting action of the inner hollow tube as it is a...
متن کاملVentricular Support With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Double-edged Sword.
We have read with the utmost interest the article by Merchán et al on the use of ventricular support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in situations other than cardiogenic shock, recently published in Revista Española de Cardiologı́a. We share the authors’ interest and enthusiasm for the potential benefits of a technique of this type in distinct cardiology scenarios, especially in ...
متن کاملEmergency extracorporeal life support for asphyxic status asthmaticus.
We report a case of successful use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as salvage treatment in an adult with acute, severe, reversible respiratory failure due to asphyxic status asthmaticus. Conventional measures were ineffective to combat the dynamic hyperinflation; the patient had intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure > 30 cm H(2)O. We initiated emergency ECLS at the bedside, and after...
