چکیده
A case is described of fulminant community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia in a 16 year old girl with no previous history of respiratory disease or any predisposing factors. She required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) until the diagnosis could be made and appropriate antibiotic therapy established.

We report a case of successfully treated acute fulminant myocarditis induced by ulcerative colitis with extracorporeal life support and infliximab. Myocarditis is a rare but crucial complication during an exacerbation of inflammatory bowel disease. In our case, we applied extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiac rest under impression of acute myocarditis associated with ulcerative...

A 41-year-old woman presents with severe community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia. Chest radiography reveals diffuse bilateral infiltrates, and hypoxemic respiratory failure develops despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. She is intubated and mechanical ventilation is initiated with a volume- and pressure-limited approach for the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Over the ensuing 24...

BACKGROUND Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO) support is effective in patients with cardiogenic shock or fatal arrhythmia due to fulminant myocarditis. The clinical courses of fulminant myocarditis are still uncertain; therefore, it is difficult to determine the appropriate time for discontinuing ECMO or converting to a ventricular assist device. The purpose of...

Severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with failure to maintain adequate gas exchange. There is increasing success using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory failure; the longest reported surviving patient has been supported by ECMO for 57 days. At best about 50% wean from ECMO and should weaning fail their course is fatal. ECMO is generally consid...
