Abstract:
Multiple organ dysfunction(MODS) can be seen in critically ill children.Modality of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is the use of mechanical devices to support life when the native organ failure occurs.Extracorporeal devices can effectively support heart,lung,liver,and kidney function of the sick children with MODS.Unlike the adult experience,ECLS is an effective therapy in children with MODS,because the underlying disease possibly is reversible.This article focuses on the different modalities of ECLS which involve extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,continuous renal replacement therapy,artificial liver support system,hemoperfusion and plasma exchange.
