Experiences of Tracheal Procedure Assisted by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the application of a venovenous type extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) in high-risk tracheal procedures in six cases consisting of five patients with tracheal stenosis. An ECMO should be helpful for preventing respiratory emergency during a tracheal procedure.

Veno-right ventricular extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for thoracic surgery: an experimental study in dogs.
BACKGROUND Although the indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been extended, ECMO has yet to be used as a respiratory support system during thoracic surgery. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate whether veno-right ventricular (veno-RV) ECMO can be used for thoracic surgery without mechanical ventilation. METHODS Acute experimental study: Veno-RV ...
متن کاملTracheal Chondrosarcoma Excised With Extracorporeal Circulation
Introduction: Tracheal chondrosarcoma (TCS) is a rare malignancy, with only 19 cases described in the literature to date. Case presentation: Herein, we presented the third-largest TCS with such an airway compromise that neither orotracheal intubation nor jet ventilation or even tracheostomy was possible. So, extracorporeal circulation was needed to excise the tumor in a one-stage procedure. Th...
متن کاملUsing anti-platelet therapy to prevent extracorporeal membrane oxygenator thrombosis without heparin resistance and with thrombocytopenia
Anticoagulation is widely used for preventing membrane oxygenator thrombosis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy while anti-platelets are rarely used, especially in patients with thrombocytopenia [1]. Here we report a case of successfully using anti-platelet treatment to prevent recurrent extracorporeal membrane oxygenator thrombosis in a fulminant myocarditis (FM) patient...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new hollow fiber silicone membrane oxygenator for ECMO: the recent progress.
Throughout the last 50 years, many improvements have been made for a more effective oxygenator. A large plate type membrane oxygenator, used by Clowes, and a coil type, used by Kolff, has evolved into the small hollow fiber oxygenator. The complex bubble oxygenator, or rotating disk oxygenator, has become a small disposable bubble oxygenator. The currently available oxygenators are extremely sm...
متن کاملCatheter Insertion via Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannula during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Background Patients referred to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) present with multiple risk factors for intraprocedural complications. Case Description We describe a TAVI procedure with sudden hemodynamic collapse and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulas were immediately implanted via vessels of the groin. A Y-connector was inserte...
