Silicosis-associated Severe Pneumonia Treated by Veno-veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: a Case Report
Keyword(s):
Abstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an extracorporeal life support system (ECLS) for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure, there are two basic patterns of veno-arterial (V-A) and veno-venous (V-V). Case presentation: This paper mainly introduced a death case of modified ECMO Patterns which is veno-veno-venous ECMO in the treatment of silicosis with severe pneumonia and analyzed the cause of death after treatment with VV-V ECMO. Conclusions: Although VV-V ECMO is recommended for patients with extremely poor oxygenation conditions, it still be difficult to improve the prognosis of patients with severe lung structural damage, and still has a long way to go.
