Successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for respiratory failure in an infant with DiGeorge anomaly, following thymus transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In patients with kyphoscoliosis, long-term mechanical ventilation improves chronic alveolar hypoventilation during spontaneous breathing, improves quality of life, decreases the need for hospitalization, and improves survival. In these patients respiratory infection can precipitate acute respiratory failure ...
