Installation of the first pump less oxygenation of the parietal pleura in Iran(ECCO2R)
The director of fellowship training in ICU of DR.Masih Daneshvari medical center reported that they have installed for the first time a pump less oxygenation of the parietal pleura which is known as extra corporeal CO2 remora for a CO2 dialysis patients.
Dr.Seyed Mohammad Reza Hashemiyan the associate professor of Shaheed Beheshti Medical University and subspecialty of ICU center verified the event and also mentioned this work has been done for the very first time in our country. A specialized ICU medical team has performed such a significant operation on a 44 year old patient with Bronchiectasis.
Dr.Hashemiyan continued this patient had suffered from Bronchiectasis for years and there for has gone under Intubation and Mechanical ventilation. Bronchiectasis is a chronic disease which increases in intensity and severity as chronicity progresses and the mortality increases as complications of Ventilation and VAP arises.
With respect to the fact that patients with Bronchiectasis will need ultimately a lung transplant, he added in the recent years the advanced countries have introduced a new machine known as ILA MEMBRANE VENTILATOR which has prevented the need for dialysis without CO2, improves the symptoms of the patients and decreases the need for Intubation therefore increasing the life expectancy of the patient.
At the end our specialists hope that this new achievement in Technology would change the course of our medical management for our patients with respiratory insufficiency which would also need further Regional (Local) modifications.
