Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as rescue therapy for severe hypoxemic respiratory failure

Abstract: History of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for hypoxemic respiratory failure NeonatesECMO has been used for more than 50 years as salvage therapy for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure that is refractory to conventional treatment. In the late 1930s, John Gibbon (1), after witnessing a young patient's death from a pulmonary embolism, began experimenting with extracorporeal blood-flow circuits that might temporarily support cardiorespiratory function. He hypothesized that an effective circui… Show more

“…The indications for CRRT/RRT were:1) AKI which was defined according to the KDIGO criteria [19]; 2) Fluid overload which was defined as the fluid overload > 10% [fluid overload = (CRRT initial weight-PICU admission weight)/PICU admission weight× 100%] [20,21]. The indications for ECMO were:1) severe hypoxemia with a PaO2/ FiO2 ratio of < 50 mmHg for > 3 h or < 80 mmHg for > 6 h, or pH < 7.25 and a partial pressure of arterial CO2 of ≥60 mmHg for > 6 h [22]. 2) hypoxemia complicated with cardio dysfunction when cardiac index (CI) less than 2.2 L/min.m2; and 3) hypoxemia complicated with circulatory dysfunction when persistent lactatemia greater than 4 mmol/L and vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) greater than 50.VIS was calculated as ([(epinephrine+ norepinephrine) ug/kg.min] × 100 + [(dobutamine + dopamine) ug/kg.min] + [milrinone ug/kg.min] × 15.…”

“…Usage of VV ECMO in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is very well known [ 8 ]. There are several publications providing contemporary guidelines and fundamentals for clinicians for bedside troubleshooting [ 8 , 9 ]. Our case was special as it involved severe pre-existing cardiac dysfunction also.…”

“…The most common complications of VV-ECMO were bleeding (29.3%), neurological complications (7.1%) including intracranial hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, brain death and seizures. 86,89 Given the above evidence, the guidelines endorsed by British Thoracic Society suggest using ECMO in the selected patient group mentioned above and ATS/European Respiratory Society (ERS)/SCCM have no definitive recommendations for or against ECMO in severe ARDS. 88,90 In conclusion, the use of ECMO should be considered in a select number of patients with severe ARDS on lung protective ventilation with Murray Score >3 or pH < 7.2 due to uncompensated hypercapnia.…”
