If you do not have lungs half a month, people live for? It seems that even the science fiction writer can not imagine things, but such an impossible task medical technology can already be overcome.
Yesterday, because of severe pneumonia caused by shock 33-year-old man leaflets, in the use of artificial lung breathing in vitro for 17 days, finally gradually recovered, has been able to take down the artificial lung breathing on his own. It is reported that this is the third successful ECMO implementation Xiamen (artificial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technology) to treat severe pneumonia, severe respiratory failure patients.
Critically ill with severe pneumonia that he turned purple whole person
April 14, Herald reporter at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, saw the leaflet. Lying in ICU intensive care unit, he is still recovering.
It is the first hospital ICU main 任张民 Wei, patient leaflets are Quanzhou, March 21 this year, he sudden cough, followed by rapid deterioration, there has been high fever, difficulty breathing, coughing up pink sputum coughed up Shihai at a local hospital for treatment did not improve asthma increased with the emergence of consciousness and severe hypoxia, doctors helpless.
In Xiamen, a referral to a hospital for further treatment, the condition continued to deteriorate, March 28, leaflets into a state of shock. First Hospital sent three medical staff, he will be transported in a tight escort to the first hospital ICU for emergency treatment. At that time, the patient due to the loss of lung function, severe systemic hypoxia, the people emerged purple, lives are at stake.
Rescue equipment to cut five centimeters layer of fat on the artificial lung
It turned out that the patient leaflet height 1.72 m, weight is up to 110KG, due to the subcutaneous fat is too thick, it is difficult to smoothly catheter inserted into a patient blood vessel. Fearing punctured blood vessels, doctors had to cut an opening in the patient's legs, convenient and accurate catheter. "This young man because of the high fat, cut the fat layer found a 5 cm thick enough, it also increased the difficulty of our treatment." Zhang Min Wei said that after more than a doctor's work together to help the patient breathe in vitro "artificial lung "finally running smoothly, oxygen saturation quickly leaflets on returned to normal levels.The case did not give up another bad doctors rescue.In order to rescue the patient, the doctor immediately for lobular intend to establish cardiopulmonary bypass piping, running ECMO support therapy, but his physical condition allows doctors have made difficult.
Artificial lung for 17 days for a full leaf, so his lungs to take a holiday break. It is reported that in the pulmonary lobule "vacation" for 17 days, yesterday formally removed the artificial lung, the freedom to pant. Currently, the patient's heart and lung function recovery ideal, is gradually recovering.
