Cerebral and Peripheral Tissue Oxygenation in Children supported on ECMO for Cardio-Respiratory failure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for patients with cardio-respiratory failure. Establishing, maintaining and weaning from ECMO may increase the risk for intracranial injury. We used a dual channel near infrared system to monitor cerebral and peripheral tissue oxygenation in 3 venoarterial (VA) and 1 venovenous (VV) ECMO patients undergoing manipulations in the ECMO circuit flows. Spectral analysis was performed on the oxyhaemoglobin data collected from these patients with the aim of comparing oscillations at range of frequencies appearing in the two measurement sites.

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 کاملOptical Topography to measure variations in Regional Cerebral Oxygenation in an Infant supported on veno-arterial Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for patients with cardio-respiratory failure which exposes the patient to the risk for intracranial injury. We used a 12-channel optical topography system to monitor cerebral oxygenation in a venoarterial (VA) ECMO patient during alterations in the ECMO flows. Changes in oxy-(HbO2), deoxy-(HHb) and total-(HbT) haemoglobin concentrat...
متن کاملMassive haemoptysis on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
A 49-year old female presented with severe heart failure with end-organ dysfunction and was placed on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to a decision for end-organ recovery. While on ECMO, the patient developed massive haemoptysis after a Swan-Ganz catheter manipulation. The haemoptysis was not controllable by conventional methods including bronchoscopy with c...
متن کاملDisrupting differential hypoxia in peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Patients receiving circulatory support with peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) are at risk of developing differential hypoxia. This phenomenon occurs in patients with concomitant respiratory failure. Poorly oxygenated blood, ejected into the ascending aorta from the left ventricle, competes with retrograde flow from the ECMO circuit, potentially causing myoca...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly implemented in patients with end-stage pulmonary disease as a bridge to lung transplant. Several centers have instituted an approach that involves physical rehabilitation and ambulation for patients supported with ECMO. Recent reports describe the successful use of ambulatory ECMO in patients with chronic respiratory illnesses being bri...
