Long Term Follow up of Patients Who Were Treated With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Pandemic Influenza A/H1N1 Induced Severe Respiratory Failure

November 20, 2013 updated by: Bernhard Holzgraefe, Karolinska University Hospital
Patients treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ecmo) for severe respiratory or circulatory failure show severe long term disability due to impaired lung -, cerebral-, cognitive function and impaired quality of life. This study investigates the long term outcome of all patients who are still alive three years after ECMO treatment for severe respiratory failure during the H1N1 2009 pandemic at the Karolinska University Hospital.
