A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed to describe our experience with extubation of ECMO patients in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This is the largest reported single-center cohort of extubated pediatric patients to our knowledge.

We present a case of a 16-year-old male with pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and Clostridium septicum necrotizing fasciitis successfully supported with veno-arterial (VA) ECMO. The patient underwent induction chemotherapy for ALL but developed severe septic shock and necrotizing fasciitis.

We describe the natural history of a three-month-old patient with Hunter Syndrome with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who developed recurrent diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patient underwent HSCT with several complications, including veno-occlusive disease and DAH.

The love of parents, the dedication of his doctors, and maybe a visit from his dog helped bring Trevor Hensley back from the brink of death.

On this, the 73rd day of #ecmo support for Covid, this young #pedsicu patient was decannulated.

Coronavirus Disease-2019 presents risk to both patients and medical teams. Staff-intensive, complex procedures such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may increase chances of exposure and spread.

Here we describe 14 previously healthy children and young adults exposed to TMP-SMX before the development of fulminant respiratory failure, potentially reflecting a previously unappreciated, life-threatening ADR to TMP-SMX.

Hunter Short, arrived in McPherson after being discharged from the hospital after 100 days. Short's recovery - nothing short of a medical miracle - has been a long process. What started as a simple fall from his bicycle quickly escalated to a life-threatening situation.

Pediatric oncology patients with sepsis are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality compared with pediatric patients without malignancy.

Carson Dodd is still hooping while receiving the highest form of life support after his lungs failed.

A young girl from Springfield had lung failure shortly after taking a very common antibiotic, Bactrim. Since then, the FDA is issuing a new warning of acute respiratory failure associated with that drug, which some patients believe caused death.

Doctors from Children's Mercy in Kansas City published a medical study in the Pediatrics journal. They studied five previously healthy young patients. Of the five patients in the study, two died, four were considered for organ transplants and all experienced lung failure.

Pulmonary toxicity induced by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) has been described, although the disease process is poorly understood.

A documentary from Children’s Mercy Kansas City about the story of Zei Uwadia and her long battle with ECMO.

For the past 467 days, Zei Uwadia has been hospitalized on life support – but that hasn’t kept the quiet-natured teenager from walking.
