Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for 2009 influenza A (H1N1) acute respiratory distress syndrome: single-centre experience with 1-year follow-up

Abstract: Veno-venous ECMO for 2009 H1N1-associated respiratory failure gives good results with a very low mortality rate. The use of a mobile unit is a safe procedure and may improve survival of patients who might not be otherwise eligible for transfer to our institution. Larger studies are however required in order to optimize and refine the best treatment strategy in this subgroup of patients.

“…1 A study of 127 patients requiring VV-ECMO for acute respiratory failure refractory to mechanical ventilation reported partial vein thrombosis of the cannulated vessels in 9.5% of patients. 3 Our report of 10 patients with severe hypoxemia because of H1N1 confirmed that 50% had pulmonary emboli. 3 Our report of 10 patients with severe hypoxemia because of H1N1 confirmed that 50% had pulmonary emboli.…”

“…(9,11,18,21) A small study in a French hospital (n = 12) reported a high survival rate, despite many complications, such as VAP, which was observed in 6/12 patients, and major hemorrhage, which was reported in 8/12 patients. (25) Our surviving patients were all discharged with good functional status. Other small observational studies have reported lower survival rates, including a 35% survival rate reported in a Japanese series (n = 14), 39% survival in a series from Germany (n =18), 44.4% in some French centers (n = 9) and a 44.4% survival rate reported by Spanish hospitals (n = 9).…”

“…3C), but minimal evidence of bronchial necrosis or epithelial regeneration, suggesting that the lung parenchyma rather than the conducting airways was the target of virus induced pathology. The patient did not have laboratory evidence of a procoagulopathy state, and though a coagulopathy has been identified in chickens with H5N1 infection, it is more likely that the thrombus was due to ECMO therapy as this has been previously identified in 16.6% of patients with H1N1 who were treated with ECMO [6]. …”
