Abstract
PDF
- Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a useful mechanical device for pediatric patients with severe respiratory failure. Conventional veno-venous ECMO using double cannulation, however, is not feasible due to size limitations in pediatric patients who have small femoral vessels. Recently, percutaneous bicaval dual-lumen cannula can be inserted using single cannulation via the right internal jugular vein. Herein, we report the case of a pediatric patient with severe respiratory failure who was weaned off the ECMO successfully after treatment with bicaval dual-lumen cannulation for 5 days despite the small body size and immunocompromised condition due to chemotherapy for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
