Anticoagulation Therapy during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator Support in Pediatric Patients
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a salvage therapy for critically ill patients. Although ECMO is becoming more common, hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications remain the major causes of death in patients undergoing ECMO treatments. These complications commence upon blood contact with artificial surfaces of the circuit, blood pump, and oxygenator system. Therefore, anticoagulat...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation in lung transplantation.
The use of extracorporeal techniques in cardiopulmonary support has spread in the last 20 years. ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) devices are the most commonly employed option, and have been used for years in lung transplant programs. Nevertheless, few articles on the results of ECMO involving large numbers of cases have been published to date. The use of ECMO in respiratory failure a...
متن کاملDual Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for Bridging Lung Transplantation in Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
When patients with severe respiratory failure are treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), severe pulmonary hypertension due to right ventricular (RV) failure is possible. This is a serious complication that requires immediate therapeutic intervention. We report an extraordinary experience of additional venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) sup...
متن کاملExperiences of Tracheal Procedure Assisted by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator
We report on the application of a venovenous type extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) in high-risk tracheal procedures in six cases consisting of five patients with tracheal stenosis. An ECMO should be helpful for preventing respiratory emergency during a tracheal procedure.
متن کاملTrouble shooting the extracorporeal membrane oxygenator circuit and patient.
Patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often become totally dependent on the mechanical life support. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) reports 2486 incidents of mechanical complications in 5905 ECMO supports. To help decrease the number of mechanical complications, an active quality assurance program was initiated at our institution. This resulted in...
