Key Points

To evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with interstitial lung disease and acute respiratory failure receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation or recovery.
Retrospective single-center review of 40 consecutive patients with interstitial lung disease admitted to an intensive care unit for acute respiratory failure between March 2012 and August 2015.
Analyzed clinical courses and survival among 21 patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), including 8 transferred by air from external centers.
Six patients underwent lung transplantation after ECMO bridging, with 5 of 6 (83.3%) surviving to hospital discharge.
Among 15 patients supported with ECMO who did not receive a lung transplant, 14 (93.3%) died after an average of 40.3 ± 27.8 days on extracorporeal support.
Two patients listed for lung transplantation died while awaiting donor organs after 9 and 63 days on ECMO, respectively.

Implication

Retrospective analysis shows high survival only with transplantation in interstitial lung disease with acute respiratory failure, indicating ECMO is primarily viable as a transplant bridge.
