Abstract:
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiopulmonary resuscitation has remarkably increased in recent times. We report here on a case of successful resuscitation with using ECMO for a patient who suffered from repeated life threatening hemoptysis. We applied both veno-venous and veno-arterial ECMO to treat this patient's respiratory failure and cardiac arrest, respectively. By clinically judging the different cardiopulmonary conditions of this patient, we were able to apply the appropriate types of ECMO.
