Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience in applying a technique of inserting a cannula through right internal jugular vein and common carotid artery to build extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for critically ill children.Method The data of critically ill patients received ECMO support through right internal jugular vein and common carotid artery between December 2011 and December 2015 from Children's Hospital of Fudan University were analyzed retrospectively.The data included diagnosis,age,body weight,time of cannula and ECMO running,complication and prognosis.Result In total 28 patients received ECMO support,3 patients of post-cardiac surgery with transthoracic cannula were excluded.Twenty-five patients inserted cannula through neck vessels were enrolled,15 boys and 10 girls,the median age was 1.8 years (range,1 d-13 years),the median weight was 12.0 (2.8-50.0) kg.All the cannula sites were right internal jugular vein and right common carotid artery,before cannula use 5 patients had been inserted central vein tube and 3 patients with blood filter tube in right internal jugular vein,in one case cannula was applied during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.V-A ECMO had been built for all the cases successfully,the median operation time was (45 ± 26) min.The pump flow was 80-150 ml/(kg · min),the median duration of ECMO support was 153 (14-567) h.Sixteen (64％) patients weaned off ECMO successfully,15 (60％) survived to hospital discharge.About the complication of cannula,six patients developed cannula site bleeding,and two patients required re-fixation of cannula,one patient's external jugular vein had been hurt and sutured for bleeding.Conclusion Application of right jugular vessels to build ECMO is easy and safe for treating the sick children.The skill should be proficient to assure ECMO run and reduce the complications.
