| Abstract |
To describe the experience of combination therapy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO), high-frequency oscillatory ventilation(HFOV) and prone positioning in treating severe respiratory failure caused by community acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus(CA-MRSA). A 30-year-old female presented with fever and dyspnea for 3 days. She was diagnosed CA-MRSA pneumonia complicated by severe respiratory failure, pneumothorax and neutropenia. Venovenous ECMO was applied within 8 h of the pneumothorax diagnosis. For amelioration of ventilator-induced lung injury, HFOV and prone positioning were combined with ECMO. The patient's condition improved considerably. ECMO was weaned on day 19, and she was discharged on day 48 with good lung recovery. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first case in which ECMO was combined with HFOV and prone positioning to treat severe necrotic CA-MRSA pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax. This combination therapy may provide safe respiratory support, may minimize the risk of barotrauma, and provide better drainage of secretions in patients with necrotizing pneumonia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 July 2017.
All research outputs
#17,906,525
of 22,990,068 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pulmonary Medicine
#1,280
of 1,945 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#226,013
of 315,211 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pulmonary Medicine
#26
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,990,068 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,945 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,211 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
