ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is considered an efficient and life-saving treatment for neonatal severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Bedside lung ultrasound (LUS) is an attractive and feasible method for evaluating neonatal ARDS.OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the value of LUS score at veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO withdrawal in neonatal patients with severe acute ARDS.METHODS:
A retrospective preliminary study was conducted in our cardiac intensive care unit from June 2021 to June 2022. Eight severe ARDS neonates who received V-A ECMO were enroled in this study. LUS was measured daily during ECMO and when weaning off ECMO. The relationships between the LUS score and ECMO parameters (blood flow and the sweep gas of FiO2) were assessed.RESULTS:
(1) There was a significant improvement in LUS score by ECMO treatment. And, various diagnostic signs of lung ultrasound were detected during ECMO, including pulmonary edema (7 neonates) and lung consolidation (4 neonates), followed by pleural effusion (1 neonate) and bilateral white lung (1 neonate). (2) A total of 12 trials for weaning off ECMO were carried out, of which four failed, but all eight neonates finally succeeded in passing the weaning trial. LUS score of 21 or less was defined as a cut-off value for predicting ECMO weaning success. During ECMO treatment, LUS score was positively correlated with ECMO blood flow (r = 0.866, P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
LUS can be used to evaluate the various lung diagnostic signs in ARDS neonatal patients during ECMO treatment, and the LUS score under ECMO treatment decreases over time. The reduction in LUS score is associated with lower ECMO blood flow. LUS score is regarded as a predictor of ECMO weaning success.Palabras clave
