Determination of Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in a Patient with Sickle-Cell Anemia Requiring Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Therapy: Case Report and Review of the Literature | Chapter 5 | Perspective of Recent Advances in Medical Research Vol. 9

 A weapon-shaped haemoglobin that is less dissolved than regular haemoglobin is produced on account of a mutation in the beta globin deoxyribonucleic acid, which causes sickle container anaemia. Hemolytic anaemia and blood vessel blockage, that result in ischemia and infarcts, are the main traits of the condition. One of the most dicey forms is acute chest condition, which can lead to hurried respiratory failure and harsh hypoxia. Although conservative therapy is frequently direct, the syndrome may sometimes be resistant. In these extreme situations, extracorporeal sheath oxygenation (ECMO) support may be life-conditional.A 31-year-old man accompanying acute chest disease and severe aspiration was granted to our hospital's intensive care unit. Veno-venous ECMO help was started due to harsh acute respiratory distress disease (ARDS) and extensive hypoxemia (70%) accompanying a swift recovery in two together oxygenation and hemodynamic status. After 7 days, the patient was weaned off the ECMO and released 4 weeks later.Although ECMO cure for sickle cell anaemia subjects is uncommon and sometimes dubious, it can be life-conditional in certain refractory cases.
