ALVARADO-SOCARRAS, Jorge Luis et al. Current state of neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in Colombia: description of the first cases. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2014, vol.84, n.2, pp.121-127. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2013.07.010.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is considered a rescue therapy and complex vital support with benefits in cardiorespiratory diseases during neonatal period that fulfil the characteristics of being reversible in neonates older than 34 weeks. The criteria for patient selection and its prompt use are critical for the final result. Even though new alternatives for management of hypoxemic respiratory failure in full term and almost full term neonates have decreased its use, congenital diaphragmatic hernia continues being a complex disease where it can have some applicability. Even though our experience is beginning, constant training will make of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation an option for complex patients in whom maximum therapy fails. This is a report of the first neonatal cases of hypoxemic respiratory failure managed at Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia.
