Title: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Children With Cancer or Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Single-Center Experience in 20 Consecutive Patients Cord-id: oj7fn4ip Document date: 2021_4_27
ID: oj7fn4ip
Snippet: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for severe respiratory and/or circulatory failure. Few data exist on the potential benefit of ECMO in immunocompromised pediatric patients with cancer and/or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Over a period of 12 years, eleven (1.9%) of 572 patients with new diagnosis of leukemia/lymphoma and nine (3.5%) of 257 patients post allogeneic HCT underwent ECMO at our center. Five (45%) and two (22%) patients, respectively, survived

Few data exist on the potential benefit of ECMO in immunocompromised pediatric patients with cancer and/or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Over a period of 12 years, eleven (1.9%) of 572 patients with new diagnosis of leukemia/lymphoma and nine (3.5%) of 257 patients post allogeneic HCT underwent ECMO at our center. Five (45%) and two (22%) patients, respectively, survived to hospital discharge with a median event-free survival of 4.2 years. Experiences and outcomes in this cohort may aid clinicians and families when considering ECMO for individual patients.
