چکیده
OBJECTIVE To report a case of pH1N1 viral infection presenting as heart failure requiring mechanical extracorporeal life support. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Pediatric intensive care unit at a regional children's hospital. PATIENT Obese 15-yr-old boy who presented with pH1N1-related cardiomyopathy and respiratory failure that required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. INTERVENTIONS Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, echocardiography, high-frequency oscillating ventilation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Discovery of severe dilated cardiomyopathy and respiratory failure. CONCLUSIONS Patients with pH1N1 may present in profound heart failure in addition to respiratory failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may play an important role in managing these complex patients.

Severe hypoxemia during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: exploring the limits of extracorporeal respiratory support
OBJECTIVE Veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation for respiratory support has emerged as a rescue alternative for patients with hypoxemia. However, in some patients with more severe lung injury, extracorporeal support fails to restore arterial oxygenation. Based on four clinical vignettes, the aims of this article were to describe the pathophysiology of this concerning problem and to discuss pos...
متن کاملA case of veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe respiratory failure in a superobese patient
After risk assessment, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been achieved in a superobese adult patient as a bridge to recovery of respiratory failure, despite the weight-related difficulties. Early v-v ECMO implantation could be considered to support and to conduct weaning both from sedation and from invasive mechanical ventilation, with the goal to perform physiokinesith...
متن کاملCRITICAL CARE ECHO ROUNDS: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
UNLABELLED Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced form of organ support indicated in selected cases of severe cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Echocardiography is an invaluable diagnostic and monitoring tool in all aspects of ECMO support. The unique nature of ECMO, and its distinct effects upon cardio-respiratory physiology, requires the echocardiographer to have a so...
متن کاملExtra corporal membrane oxygenation in general thoracic surgery: a new single veno-venous cannulation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in severe respiratory failure to maintain adequate gas exchange. So far, this technique has not been commonly used in general thoracic surgery. We present a case using ECMO for peri-operative airway management for pulmonary resection, using a novel single-site, internal jugular, veno-venous ECMO cannula.
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment of a H7N9-caused respiratory failure patient with mechanical valves replacement history: a case report: Erratum
BACKGROUND Patients with respiratory failure caused by H7N9 may benefit from veno-venous, veno-arterial, and veno-veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old male patient was suffering from H7N9-caused acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). He had a mechanical mitral and aortic valve replacement surgery and was using warfarin for anticoagu...
