“…After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in the survival of patients receiving ECMO and those managed with mechanical ventilation only ( p = 0.089) ( 10 ). Only few cases reported the role of ECMO in pediatric patients with patient ( 16 , 17 ). The larger pediatric case series study on this topic is that Cortina et al ( 16 ) reported 9 patients of childhood leukemia with ARDS receiving ECMO, 5 (56%) patients survived to ECMO decannulationand4 (44%) survived to hospital discharge.…”

ObjectiveThe cancer patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) benefit from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains unanswered. We analyzed clinical characteristics and outcomes of pediatric patients with leukemia/lymphoma who developed ARDS and treated with ECMO.MethodsPediatric leukemia or lymphoma patients with ARDS who underwent ECMO between August 2017 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).ResultsSeven patients with median age 53 (IQR 42–117) months and 4 males were included. Six cases of leukemia [5 of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and 1 of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML, M5)] and 1 of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with severe ARDS received ECMO on chemotherapy period. The etiology of ARDS is community or chemotherapy-associated bacterial or/and fungal or viral infection. All the patients received chemotherapy in the 2 weeks prior to ECMO and five were neutropenic at initial ECMO. Six cases underwent veno-arterial ECMO (VA ECMO) and 1 for veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO). The median duration of ECMO support was 122 (IQR 56–166) hours. Overall, 42.9% (three of seven) survived to hospital discharge and 6 months survival rate was 28.6% (two of seven). Bleeding was the main ECMO-associated complication occurring in 7 patients, followed by nosocomial infection in 4 cases. All the patients required vasopressor support, and 6 received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).ConclusionOur experiences suggest that rescue ECMO provides a selective treatment strategy in childhood hematologic malignancies with severe ARDS.

Background: In this study, we reviewed the outcomes of pediatric patients with malignancies who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of pediatric hemato-oncology patients treated with chemotherapy or HSCT and who received ECMO in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Seoul National University Children’s Hospital from January 2012 to December 2020.Results: Over a 9-year period, 21 patients (14 males and 7 females) received ECMO at a single pediatric institute; 10 patients (48%) received veno-arterial (VA) ECMO for septic shock (n=5), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (n=3), stress-induced myopathy (n=1), or hepatopulmonary syndrome (n=1); and 11 patients (52%) received veno-venous (VV) ECMO for ARDS due to pneumocystis pneumonia (n=1), air leak (n=3), influenza (n=1), pulmonary hemorrhage (n=1), or unknown etiology (n=5). All patients received chemotherapy; 9 received anthracycline drugs and 14 (67%) underwent HSCT. Thirteen patients (62%) were diagnosed with malignancies and 8 (38%) were diagnosed with non-malignant disease. Among the 21 patients, 6 (29%) survived ECMO in the PICU and 5 (24%) survived to hospital discharge. Among patients treated for septic shock, 3 of 5 patients (60%) who underwent ECMO and 5 of 10 patients (50%) who underwent VA ECMO survived. However, all the patients who underwent VA ECMO or VV ECMO for ARDS died. Conclusions: ECMO is a feasible treatment option for respiratory or heart failure in pediatric patients receiving chemotherapy or undergoing HSCT.
