Successful Initiation of Veno-Venous ECMO At Teynampet ,APOLLO CHILDRENS HOSPITAL

Successful Initiation of Veno-Venous At Teynampet , APOLLO CHILDRENS HOSPITAL, ECMO Without Systemic Anticoagulation in a Pediatric Patient With Post-Transplant Idiopathic Pulmonary Syndrome and Severe Pulmonary HemorrhageAbstractBackground: Idiopathic pulmonary syndrome (IPS) is a rare but life-threatening complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with limited therapeutic options. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in this population is controversial due to bleeding risk, immunosuppression, and historically poor outcomes.Case Presentation: We report a 5-year-old girl with beta thalassemia major and significant pre-existing comorbidities who developed severe IPS following autologous HSCT. Her clinical course was complicated by refractory hypoxemic respiratory failure, pulmonary
