Title: ECMO and perfluorocarbon in a therapy refractory case of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Cord-id: 2rctomye Document date: 2021_8_18
ID: 2rctomye
Snippet: Perfluorocarbons are oxygen-carrying, dense liquids initially intended for the use in partial or total liquid ventilation in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but did not show beneficial effects in clinical studies. However, perfluorocarbons may be used for lung lavage in severe alveolar proteinosis. In ARDS, oxygenation may be so severely compromised that the use of non-oxygenated perfluorocarbons may not be possible. We report of a case of severe non-resolving AR
Document: Perfluorocarbons are oxygen-carrying, dense liquids initially intended for the use in partial or total liquid ventilation in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but did not show beneficial effects in clinical studies. However, perfluorocarbons may be used for lung lavage in severe alveolar proteinosis. In ARDS, oxygenation may be so severely compromised that the use of non-oxygenated perfluorocarbons may not be possible. We report of a case of severe non-resolving ARDS treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to secure oxygenation, using perfluorocarbon in a single instillation to aid the clearance of debris and proteinacous edema.
