gained a greater understanding of the following:<br />
• Background on adult respiratory distress syndrome<br />
• Techniques associated with <strong>ECMO</strong><br />
• Clinical i l benefits and <strong>com</strong>plications<br />

ARDS<br />
ARDS describes the clinical and radiographic<br />
manifestations i of acute direct or indirect pulmonary<br />
inflammatory states.<br />
The focus of infection or tissue injury establishes a systemic<br />
inflammatory response which initiates the ARDS<br />
process.<br />
The pulmonary endothelium is injured through the release<br />
of vasoactive mediators, proteases and toxic oxygen<br />
radicals. Initiating gp<br />
phase lasts several hours.
ARDS<br />
Exudative phase – progression of injury to interstitium and<br />
alveolar cells, capillary leak, formation of hyaline<br />
membranes. Edema leading to decreasing lung <strong>com</strong>pliance<br />
and intrapulmonary shunting.<br />
Proliferative (regenerative) phase – gradual reduction of<br />
inflammatory process, proliferation of type II<br />
pneumocytes. Fibrosis starts. Continued interstitial<br />
edema.<br />
Fibrotic phase – deposition of collagen in interstitial spaces<br />
and in collapsed alveolar spaces.<br />
Self limiting with rapid recovery or if severe and<br />
prolonged leads to largely irreversible lung injury.

Methods<br />
• Ex-vivo experiment using heparinized, fresh bovine<br />
whole blood.<br />
• Two test runs for each of the four blood pump were<br />
achieved on three consecutive days for a total of six test<br />
runs for each of the four pumps (n = 24). The testing<br />

each day to staff. Each <strong>ECMO</strong> lasts an average of 4-6 days.

Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation<br />
Methods: 512 patients underwent lung transplantation from<br />
April 1992 to July 2004. 23 (4.5%) patients required <strong>ECMO</strong><br />
2° PGF unresponsive to conventional treatment. 15 (65%)<br />
treated with VA <strong>ECMO</strong>, while 8 (35%) underwent VV<br />
<strong>ECMO</strong>.<br />
Results: 8/15 (53%) of VA were successfully weaned from<br />
<strong>ECMO</strong>. Only 1 long term survivor. 8/8 (100%) of VV were<br />
successfully weaned from <strong>ECMO</strong>, with 7/8 (88%) surviving<br />
> 30 days.<br />

<strong>ECMO</strong> Support After Percutaneous Coronary<br />
Intervention For Acute Myocardial Infarction<br />
PCI has evolved as an important treatment for patients who present with<br />
AMI associated with cardiogenic shock.<br />
Surgical revascularization not ideal treatment option due to established<br />
infarct and iatrogenic coagulopathy.<br />
Surgical LVAD not an ideal choice since LV recovery is difficult to<br />
predict and inadequate time to evaluate patient.<br />
Methods: Study period from June 2008 to September 2009. Nine<br />
consecutive patients treated with <strong>ECMO</strong> following PCI.<br />
Summary: Emergency <strong>ECMO</strong> may be used as a bridge to further clinical<br />
treatments. Can be rapidly established and achieves hemodynamic<br />
stability and normalization of end organ perfusion with no major<br />
<strong>com</strong>plications.<br />

• Physician, administrative and financial support<br />
• Equipment-need need to design a simple, less expensive,<br />
less labor intensive system<br />
• Personnel – training and education
