Novel life support used as bridge to lung transplant for patient
Medical experts took a new but calculated risk when they put Willie Dalagan on a novel form of life support for two weeks while he waited in the intensive care unit at Vancouver General Hospital for a lung transplant. to be placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) while waiting for his June 7 transplant.
While ECMO is typically used in dire emergencies, on patients with failing hearts or lungs, VGH doctors decided to use it in a novel way, as a bridge to lung transplantation. They were hopeful that a new set of lungs would materialize soon enough that he wouldn have to linger on the equipment.
was our first planned ECMO. It bought us time to find a suitable donor, said Dr. Robert Levy, medical director of the Lung Transplant Program at the British Columbia Transplant Society. was an unusual situation because apart from his rapidly failing lungs, replica hermes handbags Willie had no other health issues. He was in great physical shape, so he was a good candidate for ECMO. While outside the body, hemoglobin is fully saturated with oxygen and carbon dioxide is removed.
In research studies, traditional mechanical ventilation life support systems are associated with poorer outcomes in patients waiting for transplant. But ECMO, used on patients who are awake and somewhat mobile, as Dalagan was, can have better odds of survival and fewer complications.
A physically fit, non smoking father of three children aged 14, 11 and 8, whose disease struck out of the blue, Dalagan developed shortness of breath and a dry cough in 2013 while working for a construction company on a new art gallery in Saskatoon. Doctors there suspected his lungs were being irritated by dust. Dalagan and his family moved back to Vancouver when his condition worsened.
A respirologist at VGH gave him the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. With his scarred, shrinking lungs looking like grossly overcooked barbecue meat, he was told he was a candidate for transplant surgery.
In mid May, Dalagan, an architect who moved to Vancouver from the Philippines nearly 20 years ago, was admitted to VGH. He told his wife Michelle to prepare their children for anything.
was sad for them to see me in the hospital in this kind of condition but I told my wife we can protect them forever. They have to know the reality of life, he said.
was preparing for that too. But I just thought to myself, if this ECMO they were planning gives me five more minutes of life, I will treasure every second with my wife and kids, he added tearfully.
Dalagan said he knew ECMO complications include trauma to major veins, blood clots or hemorrhage.
was stressful knowing that something could go wrong, but how much is a hermes birkin handbags I put my faith in God. The family is convinced that the prayers of thousands were answered when donor lungs became available, and the surgery successful. but the Dalagans said they not supposed to make contact with the family of the deceased for three years.
mourn another family loss. We are so grateful and we believe this was God divine intervention, his wife said in an interview at their East Vancouver home.
Discharged just a month replica how much is a hermes handbag after the seven hour operation led by transplant surgeon Dr. John Yee, Dalagan, 44, said doctors have told him he had a remarkably smooth recovery so far.
Dr. Gord Finlayson, an intensive care specialist at VGH, said ECMO worked well at providing physiological support to Dalagan while he waited for new lungs.
not something that everyone on the transplant organ waiting list can benefit from Not patients whose health has deteriorated to the point that they have multi organ disease. can offer ECMO in life support emergencies, there is increasing debate and discussion about the importance of establishing centres of excellence because success rates improve at hospitals where it is used replica hermes handbags outlet more. epaper, Digital Access, Subscriber Rewards), please input your Print Newspaper subscription phone number and postal code.
