Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Respiratory Failure in Term Infants

Abstract: Eight infants with intractable respiratory failure were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Intractable respiratory failure was defined as alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient of more than 620 torr for six to 12 hours that did not respond to hyperventilation and the use of tolazoline. Infants with overt sepsis, CNS damage, or other debilitating conditions were not considered for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Six of the eight infants survived after a mean extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ti… Show more

“… 17 Furthermore, patients with sepsis often present with thrombocytopenia and abnormal coagulation function, while ECMO necessitates anticoagulation therapy, which can potentially worsen bleeding. 18 19 In Park et al ’s study, a total of 32 patients received ECMO support for RSS, only seven patients (21.9%) survived to hospital discharge. 20 In Huang et al ’s study, hospital survival rate was much lower (15%).…”

“…Without the continued effort of Dr. Bartlett et al, ECMO may have ended as an anecdote in medical history. Dr. Bartlett and his research team continued to focus their efforts on neonatal patients with respiratory distress syndrome showing improved survival in patients supported with ECMO compared to conventional ventilation therapies [ 7 , 9 ]. Bartlett and his group performed a prospective randomized trial of ECMO vs. conventional therapy for severe neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.…”
