Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Acute Respiratory Insufficiency in Neonates: A Review of the Literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Extracorporeal gas exchange was primarily developed for the intraoperative support of patients requiring open heart surgery. A second application has been attempted, the prolonged support of patients with severe pulmonary disease who fail to respond to conventional mechanical ventilation. The purpose of this paper is to review the use of prolonged extracorporeal gas exchange for patients with acute respiratory failure and the application of this technique to the care of sick newborns.

متن کاملEvidence-based clinical practice guideline: inhaled nitric oxide for neonates with acute hypoxic respiratory failure.
Inhaled nitric oxide (INO) is a colorless, odorless gas that is also a potent pulmonary vasodilator. When given via the inhaled route it is a selective pulmonary vasodilator. INO is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of term and near-term neonates with hypoxemic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonar...
متن کاملNon-heparinized ECMO serves a rescue method in a multitrauma patient combining pulmonary contusion and nonoperative internal bleeding: a case report and literature review
Pulmonary contusion and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common manifestation in polytraumatic patients. Although mechanical ventilation is still the first choice of treatment, a group of patients are still unable to maintain their oxygenation. The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been more clarified when the lung is extensively damaged and when conventional...

متن کاملSingle site venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as an alternative to invasive ventilation in post-pneumonectomy fistula with acute respiratory failure.
We report the use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with a single dual lumen cannula in a 42-year-old patient suffering from a post-pneumonectomy fistula and severe respiratory insufficiency, avoiding the classical approach of invasive mechanical ventilation. We discussed the potential advantages of extracorporeal oxygenation as the main support in this particular clinical setting.
