چکیده
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used in Sickle cell disease patients is unclear. We present a case of a 6 years old girl with homozygous hemoglobin SS disease complicated with chest syndrome. Oxygenation was maintained with two days of VA extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and 30 days of VV ECMO.

Life threatening sickle chest syndrome treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
A young West Indian woman with established sickle cell disease developed a severe episode of sickle chest syndrome. Conventional treatment including exchange transfusions and mechanical ventilation was to no avail, and an infusion of epoprostenol also failed to halt her worsening condition. When her arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) had fallen to 6.5 kPa (49 mm Hg) extracorporeal membrane oxygenat...

INTRODUCTION Combined with massive lung aeration loss resulting from acute respiratory distress syndrome, hepatopulmonary syndrome, a liver-induced vascular lung disorder characterized by diffuse or localized dilated pulmonary capillaries, may induce hypoxaemia and death in patients with end-stage liver disease. METHODS The case of such a patient presenting with both disorders and in whom an ...
متن کاملUse of a dual lumen cannula for venovenous extra corporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome and a previously inserted inferior vena cava filter: a case report
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used in refractory hypoxemia in many clinical settings. Thoracic trauma patients usually develop acute respiratory distress syndrome. Due to high risk of bleeding, thrombotic complications present in this context are particularly difficult to manage and usually require insertion of an inferior vena cava filter to prevent embolism from the distal veins to t...
متن کاملPainful vaso-occlusive crisis as a prodromal phase of acute chest syndrome. Is only one chest X-ray enough? A case report.
The predominant pathophysiological feature of homozygous sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the vaso-occlusion. Vaso-occlusion can be associated with painful crises, which are the primary reason for those patients to seek medical care. Vaso-occlusion is responsible for the acute chest syndrome (ACS) with large morbidity and mortality or more rarely (and especially in adults) for priapism and acute neu...
