Abstract

LAS HERAS, Marcos J et al. Membrana de circulación extracorpórea en shock obstructivo secundario a enfermedad linfoproliferativa. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2019, vol.79, n.6, pp.506-508. ISSN 0025-7680.

The arteriovenous extracorporeal membrane is used in patients with hemodynamic and respiratory failure, unresponsive to conventional treatment. It provides transitory hemodynamic support, oxygenation and removal of CO2, allowing pulmonary rest. Moreover it offers the possibility of ultraprotective ventilation and avoids generation of VILI (Ventilation-Induced Lung Injury). It is not frequently used in patients with hemodynamic failure secondary to obstructive shock due to mediastinal compromise. We present the case of a patient with obstructive shock, mediastinal mass of lymphoproliferative origin that was treated with extracorporeal arteriovenous circulation membrane.
