(WWBT) - Two HCA Virginia hospitals are now certified to treat multi-system organ failure due to COVID-19 and other causes. Chippenham Hospital and Henrico Doctors’ Hospital are now listed as certified Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) programs through the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO). “The nation has seen an increase in the need for ECMO with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ryan Jensen, Henrico Doctors’ Hospital’s chief executive officer, in a release. “Being certified on this registry makes us a premiere location for the sickest COVID-19, respiratory, and cardiac patients”

How is ECMO being used for COVID-19?

How is ECMO Being Used to Treat Severe COVID-19? Blood is pumped away from the body via a cannula that is inserted into a major vein and passed through a membrane tube that is surrounded with flowing oxygen gas to become oxygenated, before being returned to the body by cannula into either a major artery or vein. Many patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have presented respiratory failure, with around 10% of serious cases developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

What is Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)?

What is Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)? Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a method of providing lung and heart support to patients with inadequate blood perfusion in the body, or gas exchange in the lungs. Blood is pumped from the body into an artificial lung, oxygenating red blood cells and removing excess carbon dioxide before it is returned to provide oxygen to the tissues and organs.

Patients may require ECMO for a variety of reasons, but generally, they will be undergoing severe acute lung or heart failure and have failed to respond to conventional therapy. Guidelines published by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization suggest that ECMO is only considered when the patient is already predicted to have a 50% mortality risk and is usually indicated at 80%.
