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 کاملPercutaneous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Graft Dysfunction after Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND We evaluated the safety and efficacy of percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with primary graft dysfunction after heart transplantation. METHODS Of 65 patients (44 males and 21 females) who underwent heart transplantation from January 2006 to December 2012, 13 patients (group I) needed peripheral ECMO support due to difficulty in weaning from cardiopu...
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...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation: successful bridge to pediatric heart transplantation.
Since the year 2000, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for cardiac failure has been employed in the post operative care of children at the Centro Cardiovascular de Puerto Rico y el Caribe. Our experience with the application of ECMO had been limited to circulatory support after repair of congenital cardiac lesions. We report the first case in Puerto Rico where ECMO was used suc...
