Abstract BackgroundThe brugada syndrome(BrS)is an inherited disorder that can lead to sudden death. A young man who experienced sudden cardiac arrest caused by Brs was successfully rescued after 2hour cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This is a case that has raised concerns in China (more than 200 million people read this news via the internet).Case presentationA 28 years old young man was successfully managed with Veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after more than 2 hours CPR. The diagnosis of BrS was identified during ECMO supported, and further ECG screening found two asymptomatic patients. ConclusionBrS can lead to malignant arrhythmia. VA-ECMO is the rescue treatment for patients with cardiac arrest who cannot be cured by conventional resuscitation. VA-ECMO combined with CRRT may help to improve the prognosis of critically ill patients.
