  • Dolgotrajna zunajtelesna membranska oksigenacija (ECMO) pri hudo opečenih otrocih = Extracorporeal membraneous oxygenation (ECMO) in extensively burned children
    Primožič, Janez, 1944- ...
    ECMO is method of treatment of children with severe acute respiratory failure after all the possibilities of mechanical ventilation, including inhalation ofnitric oxide (NO), have been exhausted. Two ... children were treated by ECMO: a14 year old girl vith 80% body surface burn who suffered and inhalation burn lung injury at the same time and did not survive after 17 days on ECMO, and a 5 year old boy with 26% body surface burn and ARDS who survived on ECMO lasting for 9 days without any sequels... In addition to the oxygenation index(OI) and the extent of barotrauma, circulatory instability served as an indicative parameter for ECMO treatment. While on ECMO, the burns were treatedsurgically, several times in both children. Extensive and coordinated work of intensivists and surgeons, combined with that of other specialists, was the keypoint of managing such a demanding pathology.
