Abstract:
Isoflurane has been administered via the oxygenator of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit to provide anesthesia and prevent hemodynamic instability during surgical repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. A comparison of a series of patients treated with isoflurane demonstrates that there is less fluctuation in heart rate and blood pressure than when surgery is performed under fentanyl analgesia alone.
