Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage Caused by Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature

Abstract: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening condition presenting with hemoptysis, anemia, and diffuse radiographic pulmonary infiltrates; it causes acute respiratory failure. Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare cause of DAH occurring predominantly in children. Bleeding is often considered to be a contraindication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to systemic anticoagulation. We present an 8-year-old girl with DAH caused by IPH. Unfractionated heparin was administered… Show more

“…Rescue therapy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been successfully performed in patients with acute respiratory failure in the setting of massive DAH. 78 Patients with end-stage lung disease due to recurrent bleeding leading to the development of pulmonary fibrosis may be candidates for lung transplantation. However, there may be a risk of recurrence of IPH in the transplanted lungs.…”

“…An 8‐year‐old girl, 18 with a history of asthma and iron deficiency anemia, presented with cough, wheeze, hemoptysis, and severe hypoxemia (room air saturation 68%). Despite antibiotic and corticosteroids therapy, the patient deteriorated and required aggressive medical support and two episodes of ECMO over a period of 2 weeks.…”
