[EMCO for acute respiratory failure: clinical outcome and technique of aortic root perfusion (author's transl)].
A 15-year-old female was treated with ECMO for acute respiratory insufficiency after severe aspiration. During 81 hours perfusion in V-A-technique even distribution of the artificially oxygenated blood was achieved by supravalvular position of the aortic cannula, which had been advanced to this position with a Ducor-Angiographycatheter. Without any improvement of the lung disease the treatment was terminated after cerebral damage due to toxic edema became evident.
