| Popis: | Excluding mortality data, there is little information regarding patients' development after extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In six of nine neonates surviving ECMO for predictably fatal pulmonary failure, examination 15 to 21 months afterward showed (1) physical growth and development, normal in six; (2) chest x-ray, normal pulmonary parenchyma; (3) average arterial blood gases, PO2 80, Pco2 35, pH 7.35; (4) echocardiogram, normal, without evidence of pulmonary hypertension; (5) cerebrovascular dopplers, normal ophthalmic artery flow in five patients, retrograde in one; (6) CT scan, EEG, neurologic survey, normal in five, cerebral atrophy in one patient who had an air embolus during decannulation; (7) psychologic examination, normal in all. This early evaluation of ECMO survivors should encourage its further application in those newborns who would otherwise die. |
