Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Pleural collections of air and fluid are frequent in infants and children treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In this anticoagulated population, chest tube placement is potentially hazardous, and catastrophic hemorrhage has been reported. We sought to define the risks associated with chest tube placement in a large population of children managed with ECMO. METHODS:The records of 189 consecutive children managed with ECMO at two children's hospitals were reviewed. Demographics, indications for ECMO, and ECMO courses were reviewed. In particular, the occurrence of pleural collections and the frequency and technique of chest tube placement were evaluated. The incidence of complications and mortality were determined. RESULTS:The median age of the subjects was 2days. The overall mortality was 26.5%. A pneumothorax was found in 19 (10.1%), a pleural effusion in 26 (13.8%), and a hemothorax in 2 (1.0%). A chest tube was placed in 27 (19 by a needle-guide wire technique and 8 by cut-down). Major bleeding complications occurred in 6 subjects (22%). CONCLUSIONS:There was a significant incidence of major bleeding complications and death in subjects in whom chest tubes were placed. The placement of a chest tube during ECMO should be done only if it is likely to improve pump flow or promote weaning of support.
