Current Applications for the Use of Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal in Critically Ill Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mechanical ventilation in patients with respiratory failure has been associated with secondary lung injury, termed ventilator-induced lung injury. Extracorporeal venovenous carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) appears to be a feasible means to facilitate more protective mechanical ventilation or potentially avoid mechanical ventilation in select patient groups. With this expanding role of ECCO2R, we aim to describe the technology and the main indications of ECCO2R.

Clinical experience with a pumpless extracorporeal lung assist device.
We present three patients with respiratory failure in whom conventional mechanical lung ventilation resulted in unacceptably high levels of carbon dioxide, severe acidosis and high vasopressor requirements. A pumpless arteriovenous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal device (Novalung) was inserted. Arterial carbon dioxide levels were reduced rapidly with a corresponding increase in pH, reduct...

متن کاملExtracorporeal CO2 removal by hemodialysis: in vitro model and feasibility
BACKGROUND Critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often develop hypercapnia and require mechanical ventilation. Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal can manage hypercarbia by removing carbon dioxide directly from the bloodstream. Respiratory hemodialysis uses traditional hemodialysis to remove CO2 from t...
متن کاملRemoval of extracorporeal carbon dioxide in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
The use of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) procedures in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients suffering from episodes of acute exacerbation are associated with high rates of mortality. In this case study, we describe the use of a new device for extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) that can provide partial respiratory support for patients where noninvasive ventil...
متن کاملDo we really have other tools for respiratory failure besides mechanical ventilation?
Mechanical ventilation has been the mainstay of treatment for respiratory failure. Modern-day mechanical ventilation has evolved from the days of the polio epidemic (1). As intensivists we have appreciated its benefits and risks through many years of experience and research. In striving to “do no harm,” we have adopted methods to ventilate patients that subject them to less lung injury as we tr...
