Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for ARDS in Adults

Brodie, Daniel, Bacchetta, Matthew·2011·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A 41-year-old woman presents with severe community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia. Chest radiography reveals diffuse bilateral infiltrates, and hypoxemic respiratory failure develops despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. She is intubated and mechanical ventilation is initiated with a volume- and pressure-limited approach for the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Over the ensuing 24 hours, her partial pressure of arterial oxygen (Pao2) decreases to 40 mm Hg, despite ventilatory support with a fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) of 1.0 and a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 20 cm of water. She is placed in the prone position and a neuromuscular blocking agent is administered, without improvement in her Pao2. An intensive care specialist recommends the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
