Jorden Hutchins came to the ER at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital after four days of high fevers and several other symptoms of an illness seen in pediatric patients related to coronavirus infection. Lab tests showed evidence of massive inflammation, so Jorden was admitted to the Pediatric ICU. As his heart function declined, he was placed on a breathing tube and ventilator and eventually an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), where all of the blood from the body is passed through an external heart and lung. This guarantees the blood receives sufficient oxygen while allowing Jorden’s sick heart to rest and recover. After three days on life support, doctors felt that Jorden would benefit from a procedure to create a hole in his heart allowing the heart and lungs to heal faster. He was removed from ECMO the next day and his heart function improved to normal and after a few days was able to fully breathe on his own. Jorden was sent to rehabilitation to re-learn how to eat and to gain strength. Jorden is now at home and doing fantastically.
