Abstract
Background and Purpose: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been described for near-fatal asthma that continues to be refractory despite maximal medical therapy. Methods: Patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at Texas Children's Hospital from 2012 to 2020 with the diagnosis of asthma who were supported on ECMO or isoflurane were included in the study. Patient demographics, medication usage, and complications were compared between the case group (ECMO, n = 12) and the control group (isoflurane only, n = 8). Results: All patients survived to discharge. ECMO patients received shorter durations of albuterol (12 versus 104 h, P = 0.0002) and terbutaline (13.3 versus 31.5 h, P = 0.0250). There were no differences in complication rates between the 2 groups. Conclusion: ECMO is a reasonable and safe support method for patients with near-fatal asthma and may lead to less bronchodilator medication exposure when compared with inhaled volatile anesthetic use.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology is a peer-reviewed journal designed to promote understanding and advance the treatment of respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases in children. The Journal delivers original translational, clinical, and epidemiologic research on the most common chronic illnesses of children—asthma and allergies—as well as many less common and rare diseases. It emphasizes the developmental implications of the morphological, physiological, pharmacological, and sociological components of these problems, as well as the impact of disease processes on families.
Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology coverage includes:
-Functional and genetic immune deficiencies-
Interstitial lung diseases-
Both common and rare respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases-
Patient care-
Patient education research-
Public health policy-
International health studies
