Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Neonatal Respiratory Failure
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of cardiopulmonary bypass adapted for long-term use. Blood is drained from the patient, pumped through an artificial lung or membrane where gas exchange is augmented, and then re-infused back to the patient. ECMO provides support for the neonate with severe respiratory failure so that potentially deleterious ventilator settings can be minimiz...
متن کاملNeonatal respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) referrals.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex technique for providing life support in neonatal respiratory failure. T UK Collaborative ECMO trial demonstrated cost-effectiveness and substantial improvements in neurological morbidity and mortality. Currently, infants requiring ECMO in Ireland are referred to one of various centres in the UK and Scandinavia. We aimed to review the numbe...
متن کامل[Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in neonatal respiratory failure].
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used for 20 years in neonates and children with cardiac and respiratory failure. The number of neonates treated with ECMO has increased exponentially, but the number of older children treated is small. The selection and exclusion criteria for pediatric ECMO are poorly defined, and the results vary because of variable selection criteria and ins...
متن کاملOutcome of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for neonatal refractory respiratory failure.
Materials and Methods Data were collected from a prospectively maintained database and retrospective chart review. The data collected included maternal and neonatal characteristics, aetiology of respiratory failure, oxygenation index (OI) and alveolararterial oxygen gradient (AaDO2) prior to undergoing ECMO, age of commencing ECMO, duration of ECMO, complications, duration of hospitalisation an...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy for pulmonary decompression illness
A 36-year-old man presented with tetraplegia and hyperventilation after diving. On arrival, he was in shock and an echocardiogram showed air bubbles in the right ventricle. Pulmonary decompression illness was suspected and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (100% oxygen, 2.8 ATA for 60 minutes) was administered. However, the patient’s respiratory status gradually worsened. He also showed right ventricle...
