Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in Severe Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A case study
Journal Title: The Journal of Community Health Management - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Each year 2.2 million people develop TB in India and estimated 2,20,000 die from the disease. There are two main types of drug resistant TB: MDR-TB and XDR. Globally in 2015 the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that 3.9% of new cases and 21% of previously treated cases of TB were of MDR/RR-TB. Active pulmonary TB is a rare primary cause of acute respiratory failure (ARF) however, high mortality rates have recently been reported in patients with ARF arising from TB. In-hospital mortality of tuberculosis patients remains high, especially among those requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and mechanical ventilation (MV).
