Lung transplantation following 107 days of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with failure to maintain adequate gas exchange. There is increasing success using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory failure; the longest reported surviving patient has been supported by ECMO for 57 days. At best about 50% wean from ECMO and should weaning fail their course is fatal. ECMO is generally consid...
متن کاملSuccessful heart transplantation after prolonged cardiac arrest and extracorporeal life support in organ donor–a case report
BACKGROUND Although heart transplantation is a successful therapy for patients suffering from end-stage heart failure, the therapeutic is limited by the lack of organs. Donor cardiac arrest is a classic hindrance to heart retrieval as it raises issues on post-transplant outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION The present case reports a successful heart transplantation after prolonged donor cardiac arrest...
متن کاملExtracorporeal life support as bridge to lung transplantation: a systematic review
INTRODUCTION Patients with acute respiratory failure requiring respiratory support with invasive mechanical ventilation while awaiting lung transplantation are at a high risk of death. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proposed as an alternative bridging strategy to mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to assess the current evidence regarding how the ECMO bridge i...
متن کاملEsmolol Corrects Severe Hypoxemia in Patients with Femoro-Femoral Venoarterial Extracorporeal Life Support for Lung Transplantation.
Competitive flows syndrome result in severe regional hypoxemia when the deoxygenated flow from the native left ventricle (LV) competes with oxygenated flow from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) pump with potentially severe consequences for the cerebral and coronary circulations. Fast correction of hypoxemia could be obtained by decreasing native LV flow by infusion of a short-acting beta-bloc...
متن کاملSevere Neonatal Legionella Pneumonia: Full Recovery After Extracorporeal Life Support.
Legionella pneumophila is responsible for hospital or community-acquired pneumonia. Neonatal legionellosis is associated with rapidly severe clinical course and high mortality rates. We describe a case of hospital-acquired Legionella pneumonia in a newborn with undiagnosed tracheoesophageal fistula and acute respiratory failure requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support be...
