Abstract
Introduction
Currently Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is used for long-term support of respiratory and/or cardiac function, ECMO is primarily indicated for patients with temporary severe ventilation and/or oxygenation problems that they are unlikely to survive conventional lung protective mechanical ventilation.
Aim of the work
We describe our experience in the management of a case of opioid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome with ECMO.
Methods
A 22 year old female, known Heroin addict, admitted with severe ARDS, failed to improve with conventional ventilation, Murray Lung Injury Score was 3.5, RESP score (8) was 4, underwent Veno-venous (V-V) ECMO via femoro-atrial approach using Maquet Cardiohelp console. The ECMO run duration was 12 days. Successful decannulation was done after weaning off ECMO by decreasing FiO2 on ECMO, and continuing mechanical ventilation on pressure support ventilation.
Results
Successful weaning of ECMO on day 12 and successful extubation on day 14.
Conclusion
ECMO can be used safely and successfully in the treatment of Heroin induced ARDS.
期刊介绍:
The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine is the official Journal of the Egyptian College of Critical Care Physicians, the most authoritative organization of Egyptian physicians involved in the multi-professional field of critical care medicine. The journal is intended to provide a peer-reviewed source for multidisciplinary coverage of general acute and intensive care medicine and its various subcategories including cardiac, pulmonary, neuro, renal as well as post-operative care. The journal is proud to have an international multi-professional editorial board in the broad field of critical care that will assist in publishing promising research and breakthrough reports that lead to better patients care in life threatening conditions, and bring the reader a quick access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in monitoring and management of critically ill patients.
