Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for the Management of Respiratory Failure Caused by Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage

Open full text 17 citations

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was developed as a supportive therapy to treat severe respiratory failure. When conventional mechanical ventilation has failed or when there is not enough time to treat the pathology, ECMO has the potential to sustain life. In this report, successful use of ECMO to support an adult patient with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitides complicated by severe respiratory failure caused by diffuse alveolar hemorrhage will be discussed.
