Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in an awake patient as a bridge to lung transplantation

Lung transplantation (LTx) is an established treatment modality for advanced lung disease. Although the number of lung transplants is on the rise worldwide,(1) there is a risk of underlying disease progression in patients awaiting LTx, especially those with interstitial lung disease that progresses to respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support. Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is the most common method of providing ventilatory support until LTx. However, IMV increases the risk of infections and can cause muscle failure as a result of patient immobilization and sedation drug use. Therefore, the use of an alternative method can increase the chances of successful LTx.
