An extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) is used to support the heart and lungs in patients with severe cardiogenic shock and respiratory failure. When these cases occur in hospitals that cannot provide ECMO care, the interhospital transport of ECMO is necessary. Since November 2014, Bangkok Hospital has had 3 ECMO cases from Chiangmai, Trad and Pattaya respectively. There were no complications with establishing ECMO during transportation. Two of the patients survived, although they developed deep vein thrombosis after the removal of ECMO. Unfortunately one patient suffered pulmonary hemorrhage and died from circuit thrombosis due to pulmonary hemorrhage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
