The Use of Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in A Patient with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Presenting with Central Airway Obstruction
Authors: Pui Yan Wong, Kin Chio Li.
Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardio-respiratory support is increasing globally over the past decade, not only by its number of cases registered but also by the expanding list of indications. We herein report a patient with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis complicated with central airway obstruction, who presented with impeding asphyxia, and evaluate the feasibility of emergency veno- venous ECMO as a rescue therapy prior to definitive management of the primary pathology.
