Abstract
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is emergently used for long-term support of respiratory and/or cardiac functions. ECMO is most useful in cases when the primary lung insult is reversible. CESAR trial in 2009 showed survival benefits in severe ARDS patients when transferred to an ECMO center compared to those receiving standard care in their ICU.
Organophosphate (OP) compounds are large groups of chemicals used in domestic and industrial settings. These compounds are still used in different forms in developing countries. It can affect the respiratory system through causing: rhinorrhea, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm, cough and severe respiratory distress. Respiratory failure is the most life threatening condition and requires immediate intervention.
We present a case report of OP induced severe ARDS in which conventional lung protective ventilation failed to maintain adequate oxygenation that was accomplished by ECMO.
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.
