Inhaled Sedation in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Anesthesia and Analgesia 2017 October
Six patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome with the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy in deep sedation were included. Isoflurane sedation with the AnaConDa system was initiated within 24 hours after initiation of ECMO therapy and resulted in a satisfactory sedation (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale -4 to -5). Despite deep sedation, spontaneous breathing was possible in 6 of 6 patients. We observed a reduced need for vasopressor therapy and improved lung function (PaO2, PaCO2, delta P, and tidal volume) during isoflurane sedation. Opioid consumption could be reduced, and only very low doses of isoflurane were needed (1-3 mL/h). This small case series supports the feasibility of sedation using inhaled anesthetics concurrently with venovenous ECMO.
