Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support in a Patient with Status Asthmaticus
Status asthmaticus is a rare, fatal condition, especially in children. Sometimes respiratory support is insufficient with a mechanical ventilator or medical therapy for patients with status asthmaticus. In such situations, early extracorporeal membrane oxygenation application is a useful method for treating refractory respiratory failure. We report on a case of a six-year-old, male child who un...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Transition of Emergent Thoracic Surgery
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used more extensively since it became known as a potential bridge therapy, in patients with severe respiratory failure even under optimum conventional mechanical ventilator support, for further definite therapy. In the area of thoracic surgery, ECMO may have already become a useful lifesaving tool but studies on this treatment method remain sc...
متن کاملVentricular Support With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Double-edged Sword.
We have read with the utmost interest the article by Merchán et al on the use of ventricular support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in situations other than cardiogenic shock, recently published in Revista Española de Cardiologı́a. We share the authors’ interest and enthusiasm for the potential benefits of a technique of this type in distinct cardiology scenarios, especially in ...
متن کاملleft ventricular mechanical support with the impella during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
background: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) provides systemic arterial support without directly unloading the left heart, which causes an elevated left ventricular (lv) pressure. the aim of the present study was to investigate the adjunctive application of the impella device for lv unloading in patients during ecmo. methods: this retrospective cohort study included patie...
متن کاملNeurologic Issues in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a well-established therapy for patients experiencing acute severe cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Unfortunately, despite noteworthy improvements in patient selection, technology, and multidiscipli‐ nary team management, significant complications are still common. The most dramatic and potentially severe complications are neurologic. However, the...
