Video Fluoroscopy Swallow Study and Nutritional Support During Ambulatory Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation as a Bridge to Lung Transplantation
We present the successful completion of a video fluoroscopy swallow study and subsequent nutritional plan of a child bridged to lung transplantation with ambulatory venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). With a limited number of programs bridging pediatric patients to lung transplantation with VV ECMO, a better understanding of nutritional support is needed to provide optimal care to this patient population awaiting organ donation.
