Schwere Exazerbation einer beatmungspflichtigen COPD

Abstract: A 58-year male patient was admitted to the intensive care unit of our hospital due to an exacerbated COPD (GOLD IV) complicated by a pneumonia. The clinical course deteriorated despite of evidence based intensive care treatment and lungprotective ventilation, a vv-ECMO and a volatile sedation were established. After a few days vv-ECMO could be discontinued and the patient was discharged from hospital after 20 days.Our case report suggests that early support with vv-ECMO could reduce the cumulative duration of … Show more

“…In our case, the anesthetic conservation device enabled the administration of isoflurane via a regular ICU ventilator (Hamilton G5, Hamilton Medical). This proved a safe and convenient method, as described in previous studies 23–25 . The temporal correlation between the onset of isoflurane application and the increase in tidal volumes observed in our patient (Figure 3) makes it tempting to assume causality.…”

“…This proved a safe and convenient method, as described in previous studies. [23][24][25] The temporal correlation between the onset of isoflurane application and the increase in tidal volumes observed in our patient (Figure 3) makes it tempting to assume causality. Of note, this effect occurred minimal initial tidal volumes, calling an effective delivery of isoflurane to the deeper airways into question.…”
