We report the use of the Novalung pumpless device in self-ventilating patients awaiting a lung transplantation. Two patients developed carbon dioxide retention with respiratory acidosis that did not respond to maximum medical therapy. The Novalung interventional lung assist was established as a bridge to lung transplantation. The first patient was successfully transplanted after 140 days, and this is the longest support that has been reported so far. The second patient was weaned off the Novalung after a short period. The Novalung is a valuable device for self-ventilating patients with carbon dioxide retention being bridged to lung transplantation.
我们报告了在等待肺移植的自主通气患者中使用诺瓦朗无泵装置的情况。两名患者出现二氧化碳潴留并伴有呼吸性酸中毒，对最大程度的药物治疗无反应。诺瓦朗介入性肺辅助装置被确立为肺移植的桥梁。第一名患者在140天后成功接受了移植，这是迄今为止报道的最长支持时间。第二名患者在短时间后撤离了诺瓦朗装置。对于有二氧化碳潴留并等待肺移植的自主通气患者，诺瓦朗是一种有价值的装置。
