| Popis: |
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of extracorporeal life support which provides cardiorespiratory support to patients with potentially reversible pathophysiological processes. ECMO has evolved over the past few decades as a standard technology for neonatal severe respiratory support. However, its use in the pediatric population has increased only since 2009. We report a case of a 9-month infant who required a prolonged (789 h) venoarterial ECMO for severe acute respiratory distress consequent to pneumonia probably secondary to aspiration. He was discharged after this prolonged ECMO run without any obvious unfavorable outcome and is neurodevelopmentally sound at a 26-month follow-up. |
