Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the results of the improvement of circulation, respiratory and organ function of patients with anaphylactic shock not responding to high dose vasopressors- inotropes and/or circulatory arrest by using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This case series was performed on 19 patients diagnosed with anaphylactic shock at the intensive care unit of Bach Mai Hospital, requiring ECMO intervention. Information on general characteristics, anaphylaxis, and circulatory failure characteristics of the patient prior to ECMO and ECMO outcome evaluation study indicators were collected. Results showed that the rate of successful ECMO withdrawal was 73.7% and the high rate of hospital discharge patients was 68.4%. ECMO was effective in improving circulatory function, respiratory function, and organ function in support of the treatment of anaphylactic patients not responding to high dose vasopressors - inotropes and/or circulatory arrest.
