Plasmapherisis in Covid-19 patient under ECMO : A Moroccan case report experience

© 2022 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of IJS Publishing Group Ltd..

INTRODUCTION: Sars-CoV-2 induces an intense cytokine response called cytokine storm at the origin of acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. In this context, several treatments have been proposed; and plasmapheresis appears as a promising treatment.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 57-year-old patient admitted for Sars-CoV-2 infection, who requiried the use of mechanical ventilation, assistance by veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ECMO and treated by plasmapheresis plugged on the ECMO circuit.

DISCUSSION: We discuss the mechanisms responsible for the Sars-CoV-2 induced cytokine storm leading to an acute respiratory distress syndrome and the main therapeutic alternatives with emphasis on plasmapheresis.

CONCLUSION: Reduction of cytokines by plasmapheresis may be very useful in the management of Covid-19 infection if it is undertaken early even on an ECMO circuit.
