A 23-year old male was admitted at 1,093 days post cardiac transplantation in cardiac failure. Despite inotropic support and later intra-aortic balloon pumping there was a slow continued fall in cardiac output, renal function and a worsening metabolic state. The patient was then placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), consisting of a Bio-Medicus pump and Kolobow membrane oxygenator in a closed circuit configuration (without reservoir). Vascular access was by femoral artery and vein using a non-obstructive technique. Anticoagulation management consisted of a heparin infusion of 2,000 Iu/hour into a peripheral line to an ACT of 170 seconds and a prostacyclin infusion of 3ng/Kg/min. into the venous line. |
