Extracorporeal pumpless interventional lung assist in clinical practice: determinants of efficacy.

چکیده
Respiratory acidosis can become a serious problem during protective ventilation of severe lung failure. A pumpless arteriovenous interventional lung assist (iLA) for extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal has been used increasingly to control critical respiratory situations. The present study sought to evaluate the factors determining the efficacy of iLA and calculate its contribution to gas exchange. In a cohort of 96 patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, haemodynamic parameters, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production as well as gas transfer through the iLA were analysed. The measurements demonstrated a significant dependency of blood flow via the iLA device on cannula size (mean+/-sd 1.59+/-0.52 L x min(-1) for 15 French (Fr), 1.94+/-0.35 L x min(-1) for 17 Fr, and 2.22 +/-0.45 L x min(-1) for 19 Fr) and on mean arterial pressure. Oxygen transfer capacity averaged 41.7+/-20.8 mL x min(-1), carbon dioxide removal was 148.0+/-63.4 mL x min(-1). Within two hours of iLA treatment, arterial oxygen partial pressure/inspired oxygen fraction ratio increased significantly and a fast improvement in arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure and pH was observed. Interventional lung assist eliminates approximately 50% of calculated total carbon dioxide production with rapid normalisation of respiratory acidosis. Despite limited contribution to oxygen transfer it may allow a more protective ventilation in severe respiratory failure.

Protective and ultra-protective ventilation: using pumpless interventional lung assist (iLA).
Acute lung failure is associated with high mortality and usually requires mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate gas exchange. However, mechanical ventilation itself can be associated with major complications and can aggravate pre-existing lung disease, thus contributing to morbidity and mortality. Extracorporeal gas exchange is increasingly used when conventional mechanical ventilation has ...

Recent advances in extracorporeal lung support systems
The treatment of severe acut lung failure includes artificial ventilation with a lung protective concept, but in situations of life-threatening respiratory failure with persistent hypoxia/hypercapnia, the technique of extracorporeal lung assist has been employed. A veno-venous pump-driven extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is established in specialized centres requiring extended equipme...
