Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe refractory respiratory failure secondary to 2009 H1N1 influenza A.
BACKGROUND Respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to H1N1 influenza infection is a source of substantial morbidity and mortality, having caused over 265,000 hospitalizations in the United States in 2009. During the H1N1 pandemic, up to 31% of the H1N1 patients required intensive care unit admission, and many were refractory to maximal conventional therapies. These...
متن کاملPostvaccination Influenza 2009 H1N1 Respiratory Failure Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
The spread of pandemic Influenza A (H1N1-2009) was believed to have been attenuated by the effectiveness of worldwide vaccination initiatives. Despite the immunogenicity of a safe vaccine, we report a case of vaccine failure resulting in catastrophic influenza-associated respiratory failure.
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in management of severe respiratory failure secondary to 2009 influenza A(H1N1) virus.
We read with great interest the recent article by Miller and colleagues (April 2010) 1 reporting their experience with 47 patients who were admitted to the ICU with 2009 infl uenza A(H1N1) [A(H1N1)] virus infection in Utah. The authors stated that the severity of illness and mortality (27%) in their cohort who received usual care for ARDS (ie, low tidal volume, low pressure ventilation) was sim...
متن کاملExtra-corporeal membrane oxygenation in the management of 2009 influenza A (H1N1) refractory respiratory failure.
Rapidly progressive acute respiratory failure attributed to 2009 H1N1 influenza A infection has been reported worldwide-3. Refractory hypoxaemia despite conventional mechanical ventilation and lung protective strategies has resulted in the use a combination of rescue therapies, such as conservative fluid management, prone positioning, inhaled nitric oxide, high frequency oscillatory ventilation...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Pandemic (H1N1) 2009
To the Editor: As the world struggles with the challenges of infl uenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009, it is clear that treatment options for critically ill infected patients are suboptimal because deaths continue to be reported in otherwise young and healthy patients. Ex-tracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an established therapeutic option for patients with medically re-fractory cardiogenic o...
