Spontaneous breathing during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment of sickle cell disease acute chest syndrome
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary hemoglobinopathy resulting in sickling hemoglobin. Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a serious complication of SCD and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Management of ACS is complex and may necessitate mechanical ventilation and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) therapy in the more severe cases.We present herein the case of a young female adult (19 y.o.) with SCD who developed severe respiratory failure due to ACS occurring twice within 15 months and treated by VV-ECMO. We describe the management of ACS with VV-ECMO using two different approaches, namely with and without mechanical ventilation.
